When author David Ritz asked Marvin Gaye, are you interested, like Stevie Wonder, in building a music powerhouse catalogue?" Marvin replied, "I've always been so broke that I've had to sell my publishing up front for cash." Berry Gordy owns my tunes. I get my writer's share but I hardly own any copyrights. Stevie's been a lot smarter about that than me."
According to Ritz, Marvin Gaye was going through such financial turmoil that he once snorted a full once of pure cocaine. Allegedly, Marvin also asked his mother to give him two diamonds he had once given her, worth $6,000. Marvin pawned them for $2,000.
Marvin also tried to borrow money from celebrity friends Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder but they turned him down and Motown wouldn't give him anything because he hadn't finished his album.
Some women of his fan club were sweet enough to send checks for $200 and $300 dollars but it was a sad, sad time.
His Hidden Hills home and studio were shut down while his family scrambled to save the furniture and recording equipment. Federal IRS agents put everything else under lock and key.
Marvin's entire empire collapsed a few years before his untimely death.

On Dec. 11, 1964, Cooke was approached by shadowy figures who wanted to buy into his lucrative businesses. Sam declined the offer by saying, 'I like being my own man.' Later that evening, Cooke left a popular night club with a beautiful Euro Asian woman named Lisa Boyer . According to Boyer, Cooke drove her to a seedy motel in South Central and tried to rape her, when she broke free, Cooke allegedly chased her through the courtyard.
When she reached the manager's office, Cooke stormed in behind her. The motel manager Bertha Franklin was frightened by Cooke's irrational behavior, she would pull out a gun and shoot him four times, he would die instantly. This was the official story fed to the media outlets around the world.
After a brief trial, the jury deliberated for fifteen minutes and came back with a verdict of justifiable homicide. Bertha Franklin and Lisa Boyer were free.
The Cooke family hired an private investigator who uncovered the following facts:
Cooke had dated Lisa Boyer three weeks prior to his murder despite the fact that numerous people warned him about her colorful past which included prostitution. If Cooke was dating her, why would he try to rape her?
Singer Etta James revealed in her book "Rage To Survive," that Cooke was so badly beaten that his head was decapitated from his shoulders, his hands were broken and crushed, his nose was smashed and he had a two inch bump on his head. These injuries were never explained and a woman could not inflict these type of injuries.
Bertha Franklin had a .32 registered in her name yet she killed Cooke with a .22, she would move to Michigan and die eighteen months later.
Lisa Boyer would be arrested for prostitution one month after Cookes death and in 1979 she would be found guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend.
