Edward Ibeh Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Date written: 06/23/2025

Marvin Gaye

  Dubbed "The Prince Motown." Late, great soul singer Marvin Gaye
 Brought "Sexual Healing." His star shone as bright as a noon sunray.

  In song asked "What's going on?": life cut short by estranged father.
Hit-making behemoth, he'd be even bigger had his career gone farther.
