The only singers more down on their luck than country singers are soul singers. Motown genius Marvin Gaye didn't just lose his millions to the taxman; he also lost them to a costly divorce (despite having offered his ex-wife the profits of a specially recorded album entitled Here, My Dear) and the rest was spent on a much publicised drug addiction.
He was made bankrupt in 1979 and suffered the humility of living in a bread van while planning his 1982 comeback.
Despite the grim circumstances, Gaye managed to pen one of his biggest hits, Sexual Healing, before tragically being shot dead by his own father, two years later. What's going on, indeed.
