What song by Marvin Gaye appears on his album "Here, My Dear", inspired by his wife Anna Gordy Gaye, and is a biographical account of the singer's own personal demons as he battled drug abuse, paranoia and depression?
Time to Get It Together "Time to Get It Together" is a 1978 song recorded by Marvin Gaye and issued on Marvin's 1978 album, "Here, My Dear". Much like "Everybody Needs Love", "Anger" and "A Funky Space Reincarnation", among others, this song doesn't discuss the demise of Marvin's marriage to Anna Gordy Gaye. Instead the song is a biographical account of the singer's own personal demons as he battled drug abuse, paranoia and depression.
Nayoung Case The Cho Doo Soon Case is an incident that took place in December 2008, in which an eight-year-old girl (alias Nayoung) was on her way to school when she was kidnapped by 57-year-old Cho Doo Soon, who was drunk at the time. Cho raped and beat Nayoung at a public squat toilet. Nayoung had injuries to her internal organs, and was taken to a hospital, surviving the incident. Cho was arrested and eventually sentenced to twelve years in prison. The case sparked outrage and protest including Nayoung's parents and many others. In 2011, R&B singer ALi released a song based on Nayoung's story, titled "Nayoungee." The song attracted controversy after being widely criticized, and ALi chose to omit it from her upcoming album. She also subsequently issued an apology. She then went on to say that the song was also about her battle with being raped. The 2013 film "Hope" is based on this case.
