HOME ABOUT ZEOLA
|
Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Zeola “Zee” Gaye is the youngest of five siblings born to Alberta and Marvin Gay, Sr. Her three brothers, and sister. Zee relocated to Los Angeles in the early 70’s to join the rest of the Gaye family after living in Atlanta, Georgia for four years. She presently splits her time between her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Los Angeles, California, where she lives with her two lovely daughters, Kim and Monique, and the joy of her life, her grandson, Domonique. During the late 70’s, she traveled with her famous brother, Marvin Gaye, on many tours, working in several capacities. She served as the wardrobe coordinator for Marvin and the band as a background singer on his hit “Got To Give It Up.” She has been one of his dancers on his European and U.S. tours. Zee also served as personal assist to her brother on his last tour “Midnight Love” as well as at home. She worked in Marvin’s recording studio as traffic manager, booking sessions for other artists who used his studio to record. She was with him during all of his ups and downs after his tour ended in 1983, until his untimely demise. “My Brother Marvin” has been a long time coming and long overdue—twenty-four years to be exact. Zeola has often dreamed of squashing all the falsehoods and rumors in having the true story told about her family. Zeola feels that Marvin’s fans all over the world and all who loved him will appreciate the truth s finally being told, thru her stage play, Documentary and book.
