How old is zeola gaye

Sending you and the kids much love, always. I'm sad to hear that but like you said, life is too short. The choices are ours. Wishing you a good evening.

I guess I was trying to say that I wish you could have been a part of what has transpired with the trial. I hoped and prayed on it. Won't be disturbing you again. Have my word. Good morning…see this is why I don't like texting It's so easy to misunderstand what the other person is saying. In NO way was I saying you were disturbing me, not at all…even though I wasn't a part of the trial physically, I was always a part in my heart. That's what I was trying to express to u.

Sorry you misunderstood my last text…I am absolutely thrilled it turned out the way it did… and I do send you guys as much love and best wishes as you're willing to accept…if you guys are traveling have safe travels. The sisters and Jan Gaye have been repeatedly at odds since his death but the settlement earlier this month opened up fresh wounds. Zeola and Jan exchanged text messages last week after the federal jury ruled against Thicke and Williams.

Although initially Zeola texted 'congratulations' on the verdict, it prompted an increasingly agitated exchange which ended with Jan writing to Zeola: 'Won't be disturbing you again. Zeola, a retired book keeper, told Daily Mail Online: 'I am tired about the negativity.

I am trying to be as positive as I can and trying to make some money for myself. Marvin is in our blood and he loved us. But we have to do the 8am-5pm thing to keep going. It is hard to take when you know your brother's work is making a fortune and will for a very long time. Zeola and Marvin's eldest sister Jeanne,78, live separately in modest apartments several miles apart.

Zeola has built a shrine to her brother and photographs adorn the walls of the living area of her Las Vegas home. Marvin would have been horrified by this situation because he cared for and loved his family,' Zeola said. I just want to be comfortable where I can be in a position to say "Come on guys, get your passports, we are going to London. At the center of the dispute are Zeola and Jan, who both performed on the original recording of the song 'Got to Give it Up'.

Zeola said: 'My sister and I were not included in the law suit even though I feel so close to the song because that is me making all the party sounds on it. I was there when Marvin recorded it. It was always fun watching Marvin perform and record. So I said "hey what's happening It was just party time and I am on the song throughout while Jan and Frankie sang backing vocals.

Referring to the award, she said: 'I am getting a lot of congratulations on the law suit, but it was Marvin's children and not my two daughters. Her elder sister Jeanne, a pastor, said the dispute would have saddened their brother. But the sadness was within him and he was always saying he couldn't do enough for his family. That sadness spilled over into his music. The family rift has been fueled by a book Zeola wrote three years ago called 'My Brother Marvin' in which she claimed Jan had tried to poison her brother.

Zeola admitted that Jan's anger may have been fueled accusing Jan of infidelity in her marriage, by having affairs with the singers Rick James and Teddy Pendergrass. She also wrote that Jan, who was 16 when she met Marvin, had a bad attitude towards their mother, to whom the singer was very close.

Zeola wrote: 'Besides cheating on Marvin, Jan was also becoming very disrespectful to Mom. Jan has vehemently denied all the claims. She said that when Marvin had become estranged from Jan, she put a temporary restraining order on him 'out of vindictiveness'.

But Zeola said she did not regret anything she said about Jan, who was Marvin's second wife after Anna Gordy. Together: Marvin Gaye second from right, at a get-together with his siblings and their families.

Legacy: Nona Gaye, Marvin's daughter, with her mother Jan, and her children in Zeola said there has been no contact since she sent the last message and she remains 'baffled' as to what her ex-sister-in-law meant by 'disturbing' her. She added: 'I have tried for us to be a family numerous times. I am always the one who reached out. The feud's roots run deep, both sides admit. She would say I was "picking Marvin's bones". But I am his sister and if Marvin was here, he would want me to pick his bones.

Maybe she never got over the fact that I am Marvin's sister. That is not my fault. I was born in this family with the same mother and father and that is just how it is.

Marvin really loved me. Jan and Zeola got along when Marvin made Jan his second wife in October , but Zeola said she believed her new sister-in-law was jealous of her, particularly after Marvin took her on their honeymoon.

The marriage, which produced two children, broke up and Marvin descended into an episode of heavy crack, cocaine and marijuana use.

Zeola, who dated Muhammed Ali after meeting him in Central Park, was also given drugs by her brother and became addicted to cocaine after his death at the hands of his father Marvin snr on April 1 Close: Marvin and his mother Alberta.

Her mother was a much-married white woman who loved jazz and the music scene; her father was a black jazz singer and musician Janis rarely saw. Gaillard told her he was born in Cuba, but she discovered that he was born in Alabama and spent some years in Detroit.

As a year-old, she was hanging out with her fun-loving mother at Ed Townsend's recording studio in Los Angeles one night in when they were introduced to the famous Marvin Gaye, who was recording his "Let's Get it On" album. He was quiet and reserved, but Gaye signaled his intense interest in the pretty teenager.

They were together from then on, although they didn't marry until they divorced in , although their relationship continued until Once their affair was under way, it was a scandal within the tight-knit Motown community in L. Despite the year age difference — he was only 24 when they wed — it had been an intense bond for some years, but Marvin was feeling restless.

Meeting Jan resolved that restlessness. Their affair was extremely sensual — she now says they were both addicted to sex — and his music at the time, particularly the album "I Want You," was clearly inspired by Jan.

Once Marvin insisted that Jan accompany him to his first wife's house, to drop off his son. She sat in the passenger seat of his car as Anna came out and looked her over. But the two women had a more cordial meeting years later. Jan came to Anna's house to be filmed for a documentary about Marvin. She was hesitant about going, but "she was very gracious," Jan said. She asked if she could speak to Anna privately, and the older woman assented. I said, 'If there was anything I did to hurt you and I imagine there would be, I just want you to know that I'm sorry and that was never my intention.

I fell in love, and we were in love with the same man and I am sorry. She said, 'You never did anything to hurt me. We finished up the interview that we were doing and that was the last time I saw her.
