Tapedeck transparent6/12/2023 How does one reach out to a celebrity about a lost family heirloom? Where would I even sell such a thing? And I’m sure the Gaye family would like to know this exists. Can I post them to Youtube or Soundcloud without violating the copyrights? Would they even be noticed?Īs far as the tape being a collectors item, I’m sure it would have to be verified or appraised somehow, and I'm not sure who to contact about that. I recorded samples of the songs with my phone, but I’m not sure where to upload them or share them on the internet legally, and I’d rather have a high definition recording of the tape to share. I don’t have a way to contact Nona any more. At the same time, I would definitely like to share this music with the world, and I assume the tape itself might be worth something to the family or a collector. I assume the Gaye family and/or his original record label would still own the copyrights even though the songs weren’t released. The back of the tape also shows Gregg Crockett as an additional artist. It appears to have at least two original unreleased songs, “What the heck is really going on” and “My father now lives in heaven”. One of my roommates has a tape deck, and we listened to it. Then a couple months ago I was rummaging through some old boxes I had in storage and the tape fell out. Not having a tape deck at the time, and then moving myself shortly thereafter, I never listened to it and for a long time thought it was lost. I found a tape with Marvin’s name, titled “Love Package” and the names of two songs on it. I was once Nona Gaye’s neighbor when I lived in Los Angeles, and shortly before she moved she offered to let me look around her garage for anything I wanted to keep.
