Others had greater vocal range; there were certainly better Video: Travers Wants a Recut on 'The Hobbit' performers (Marvin never did fully vanquish his stage discomfort); and for one who is regarded as a creative visionary, his genius often needed to be kick-started by collaborators. Yet few artists in any genre can approach Marvin Gaye's breadth of accomplishment. Following the failure of an album of standards aimed at establishing him as a black Sinatra, Gaye submitted to the conventional Motown hit-making machinery. (He would never lose his desire to become a "serious" singer, as evidenced by his affectionate 1965 tribute to Nat "King" Cole.) His first couple of successes, "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" and "Hitch Hike," were not at all how he saw himself, but they got him in the door and on the charts. Most of Gaye's early albums are out of print, but the string of hits he recorded between 1962 Gallery: The Hottest Live Photos of and '69 with the label's bottomless pool of writers and producers—including Smokey 2012 Robinson ("Ain't That Peculiar"), Holland-Dozier-Holland ("You're a Wonderful One"), and Generated with www.html-to-pdf.net Page 1 / 3 Norman Whitfield ("I Heard It Through the Grapevine")—made him Motown's premier male singer and have been the basis of countless compilation packages. What impresses is not only the endless excellence of Motown's production line, but the ease with which Gaye's voice accommodated the very different demands of each piece, from the gospel exhortations of "Can I Get a Witness" to the breezy swing of "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)." He maintained a parallel and almost equally successful career as a singer of romantic duets with labelmates such as Mary Wells ("What's the Matter With You Baby"), Kim Weston ("It Takes Two"), and his most significant other, Tammi Terrell ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough"). Greatest Duets collects the highlights of all his associations (except, curiously, "Ain't No Mountain"), including a session with gospel singer Ona Page. The Complete Duets gives you everything recorded by Gaye and Terrell, arguably the most romantic singing partnership in pop history. (After Terrell's death, Marvin vowed he'd never sing with another partner. Judging by his tepid 1976 album with Diana Ross, it was a vow he should have kept.) Having worked all these wonders, Marvin Gaye then did something no other Motown artist had ever dared. With What's Going On (1971), he started a revolution. Although it spawned three hits—the antiwar title song, the ecological plea "Mercy Mercy Me," and "Inner City 100 GREATEST GUITARISTS Blues"—this was Motown's first true album. Its blend of unembarrassed spirituality and 100 GREATEST SINGERS unflinching social realism, as well as relentless percussion set against lush orchestration, was 500 GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL unlike anything that came before it in both form and content. For Gaye, it was a self- TIME produced declaration of independence. (The 2001 Deluxe Edition adds an earlier and 500 GREATEST SONGS substantially different mix and a rare live performance of the album from 1972.) After a 100 BEST ALBUMS OF THE 2000S detour to score the film Trouble Man, he followed his masterpiece with the almost equally 100 GREATEST BEATLES SONGS magnificent Let's Get It On in 1973. From the title-track opener to the closing "Just to Keep You Satisfied," it is as unashamedly sexual as its predecessor is spiritual. (Its Deluxe Edition bonus disc illuminates Marvin's many false starts with multiple collaborators before he settled on the final framework.) I Want You boasts the seductive title song and "After the Dance" but is otherwise slight, a disappointment after the twin peaks of What's Going On and Let's Get It On. Live is from a 1974 concert that was his first in two years, and it shows, though the sparks that fly on "Distant Lover" are eternal. Live at the London Palladium catches a better show and contains the 12 studio minutes of "Got to Give It Up," proof positive that disco and genuine soul could coexist in a single slab of wax. Here, My Dear (1978) was not a successful album saleswise, but it may be his most fascinating. Forced to give up the royalties to his ex-wife in their divorce settlement, Gaye's album brutally chronicles the breakdown of the marriage— no hits, but plenty of bruises. After a European exile and a divorce from Motown, he reappeared in 1982 with Midnight Love on Columbia. Its slinky single "Sexual Healing" intertwines his two major themes—sex and salvation—and is as seductive as anything in Marvin's overstuffed little black book of song. That said, the rest is smooth and superficially pleasing but leaves little lasting impression. What was a welcome comeback would prove to be his final album. Since the tragic shooting death of Marvin Gaye in 1984, collections, compilations, and unissued material have rained down on an apparently insatiable marketplace. Pick of the litter is the two-CD Very Best of Marvin Gaye, though it is not quite up to the double Anthology it replaced in the catalogue. The 1995 four-CD set The Master is excellent, as well as being a marked improvement over a botched box attempt earlier in that decade. Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye ain't all that, but its 17 songs make it an acceptable sampler; ditto 18 Greatest Hits, but I'll Be Doggone is just a Motown mishmash. The two best-of volumes in the Millennium Collection series, split between the '60s and '70s, contain only 11 songs each. Steer clear of the countless packages of bootleg-quality live material drawn from his erratic 1983 comeback tour, issued under titles like Greatest Hits Live, Performance, and In Concert. Even the best of these, The Final Concert, offers only marginally improved sound on a performance that is charitably characterized as adequate. There are no less than three packages trading under the title Love Songs: 1) the Generated with www.html-to-pdf.net Page 2 / 3 aforementioned Greatest Duets; 2) a Sony comp that again reshuffles the Midnight Love material; and 3) Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads, assembled by biographer David Ritz to combine the singer's most amorous slow songs with the handful of standards arranged for Gaye by Bobby Scott (previously available as Vulnerable). In the same vein as the Ritz collection—imagine an update of Jackie Gleason's Fifties albums of makeout music—is Romantically Yours, which was compiled by Marvin's mentor and sometime producer Harvey Fuqua. Love Starved Heart is a true rarity: an album of vault material that doesn't waste your time; Gaye rivals Bob Dylan in the quantity of quality material left on the shelf.

INTRODUCTION The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is considered one of the best and most highly regarded novels to come out of Russia during the Soviet era. The book weaves together satire and realism, art and religion, history and contemporary social values. It features three story lines. The main story, taking place in Russia of the 1930s, concerns a visit by the devil, referred to as Professor Woland, and four of his assistants during Holy Week; they use black magic to play tricks on those who cross their paths. Another story line features the Master, who has been languishing in an insane asylum, and his love, Margarita, who seeks Woland's help in being reunited with the Master. A third story, which is presented as a novel written by the Master, depicts the crucifixion of Yeshua Ha-Notsri, or Jesus Christ, by Pontius Pilate. Using the fantastic elements of the story, Bulgakov satirizes the greed and corruption of Stalin's Soviet Union, in which people's actions were controlled as well as their perceptions of reality.

  • Sexual Intimacy After Assault Or Abuse
    SEXUAL INTIMACY AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT OR SEXUAL ABUSE Many who have sexual trauma find that their sexual attitudes and reactions are impacted after a sexual assault or sexual abuse. While these effects are not permanent, they can be very frustrating as they can decrease the enjoyment of one’s sexual life and intimacy with others for some time. Fortunately, even if one does not actively work on sexual impact, as the sexual assault or abuse trauma is reduced, the sexual symptoms will diminish. Experiencing sexual symptoms after sexual assault or abuse is not only very common, but it is also understandable; “Sexual abuse is not only a betrayal of human trust and affection, but it is, by definition an attack on a person’s sexuality”. Some people may react to sexual trauma by avoiding sexual activity and isolating their sexual selves, perhaps fearing losing control of their body or feeling vulnerable to someone else. Others may react by having more sexual activity than they had before this experience; possibly because they may feel that sex is less important to them now or that it is a way for them to regain a sense of power. No matter what your reaction after a sexual assault or sexual abuse, it is important to remember that it is part of your healing; helping you process what happened to you and regain a sense of normalcy. Common sexual symptoms. The sexual effects that a survivor may experience after sexual abuse or sexual assault may be present immediately after the experience(s), or they may appear long afterwards.
