Marvin Gaye – Air Force

Marvin Gaye was one of the most iconic musicians of the 1960s. But before he could get it on, he enlisted in the United States Air Force after dropping out of high school when he was just 17 years old. He was a basic airman so he was tasked to do some serious grunt work, which the musician didn’t like. So, he did what any guy would do: fake the crazies. After faking a mental illness, he was eventually discharged and freed to do whatever he desired. Sadly, his star would stop shining after his father fatally wounded him with a gunshot in the chest after an altercation between them, in 1984.
