Page "Marvin Gay, Sr." Paragraph 3

Gay ministered at a local House of God church in Washington.

According to his son Marvin, his father was known as a healer.

When his son was around four or five, his father brought him to church congregations and revivals to sing for audiences.

According to Marvin Gaye's relatives, it was one of the few times in which father and son's relationship wasn't so troubling.
