In the Berry Gordy biography ''To be loved'', there is a picture that features everyone at Motown 25 and Marvin towered over everyone, including Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor. In fact Marvin looked to be leaning a bit.

All of the footage i've seen of him whether performing or interviewing convinces me that he is 6'1''. His daughter Nona is 5'10'', which is very tall for a woman, and if the tall father-tall daughter and tall mother-tall son theory is true then he had to have been this height for sure. He's still a legend regardless.

Marvin Gaye was a tall man. 6ft2 sounds more accurate.

I just watched an interview that Marvin did on Soul Train with Don Cornelius. Don was about 6'1" according to some website I found on him and he looked to be around 2 inches taller than Marvin. Maybe he's only 5'11".

If you see his albums, He wears platform heels you know. That's why he looks more than 6'1". His claim was 6'2", so he was about 6'1" maybe 6'2".

I just saw him on a PBS special showing old Motown footage. It was the early 1960s and Marvin was signing with both male and female dancers around him and he towered over all of them, including the male dancers.

I've read that Stevie Wonder is only 6'0.5 and no more!
That was supposed to had come directly from him.
Where do you guys get your information from?

He might have also been a lot younger in that photo, could have grown alot more.

He's got a couple inches on Stevie on the picture I posted on Stevie Wonders height. I'd say he's about 6'3.5

[Editor Rob: wonder's height at that photo, not sure of it...]
