Frances "Frankie" Gaye (November 15, 1941 – December 30, 2001) was an American recording artist and brother of fellow American recording artist Marvin Gaye. Gaye's recollections of his tenure at the Vietnam War inspired Marvin's song "What's Happening Brother", from the album What's Going On.
Frances "Frankie" Gay was born in Washington, D.C., the third of four children born to Alberta (née) Williams and Marvin Gay, Sr. in 1941. Both Frankie and elder brother Marvin sung, first in church and then with local doo-wop groups.
Frankie had several jobs in D.C. before answering the draft to serve his country during the Vietnam War at 25 where he served as a radio disk jockey. In 1970, Frankie returned to civilian life in D.C. Emotional conversations between Frankie and Marvin over Frankie's horrific recollections of the war led to Marvin to compose the song "What's Happening Brother", later issued for Marvin's album, What's Going On, released in 1971.
"My Guy" is a 1964 hit single recorded by Mary Wells for the Motown label. Written and produced by Smokey Robinson of The Miracles, the song is a woman's dedication to the goodness of her man ("There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy").
At the session for the "My Guy" backing track the studio musicians were having issues completing the intro: with the musicians having been playing all day and a half hour scheduled studio time left, trombonist George Bohannon pointed out to keyboardist Earl Van Dyke that the opening measure of "Canadian Sunset" could be perfectly juxtaposed on the intro's chord changes, and Van Dyke, the session bandleader, expediently constructed an intro incorporating the opening of "Canadian Sunset" and also the "left hand notes" from "Canadian Sunset" composer Eddie Heywood's rendition of "Begin the Beguine". Van Dyke would recall: "We were doing anything to get the hell out of that studio. We knew that the producers didn't know nothing 'bout no 'Canadian Sunset' or 'Begin the Beguine'. We figured the song would wind up in the trash can anyway".
