Frankie Gaye

Frankie Gaye (born Frances Gay, November 15, 1941 – December 30, 2001) was a singer and the younger brother of the more famous singer Marvin Gaye. Born the son of minister Marvin Pentz Gay, Sr. and domestic Alberta Cooper in Washington, D.C., Frances watched as Marvin became a superstar. Frankie's horrific accounts of his service during the Vietnam War (which included being a radio DJ) inspired Marvin's classic 1971 concept album What's Going On. more »

I had a dream last night
I saw my brother's face
And he was standing there oh so happy
In a quiet place

I asked him how he was doing
He said he was doing fine
And he'd bean thinking about me
All of the time
He asked

What's going on since I've been gone and
How is the family they're my pride and joy
Heaven must have sent my brother
From above
He's a wonderful one
Can I get a witness

My brother, my brother
We were very close to one another
My brother, my brother
Oh how we loved one another

I remember the things 
We used to talk about
He taught me so many things
And sometimes he - me out

Well I remember the games we played
And getting whipped for coming home too late
There's a secret we never ever told
We used to skip church just to sing rock and roll

Ain't no mountain high enough to stop me
Don't let your problems make you a troubled man too
Don't you be a stubborn kind of fella
He said try it baby
Hitchhike if you want to
He said how sweet it is to be loved by you

My brother, my brother
We were very close to one another
My brother, my brother
Oh how we loved one another

You know my brother told me
To never forget our dreams
That's why he filled me with inspiration
Cause he knew we both loved to sing
He said let's get it on

Talkin' bout my brother, my brother
We were very close to one another
Mercy mercy me
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I've got the inner city blues
Makes me wanna holler
What's going on
