Unreleased Marvin Gaye Tracks Discovered in Belgium

The collection, including 66 songs and memorabilia, sparks negotiations between the Dumolin family and Gaye's heirs.

A collection of 66 unreleased Marvin Gaye songs, alongside a trove of memorabilia, was found in Ostend, Belgium, in the home of the late Charles Dumolin.
The discovered items include 30 cassette tapes, stage costumes, and notebooks, dating back over 40 years.
Negotiations are underway between the Dumolin family and Gaye's heirs to potentially release the music, with both parties needing to reach a mutual agreement.
Some of the tracks are said to be as impactful as Gaye's hit 'Sexual Healing', with one song described as causing a 'moment of planetary alignment'.
Belgian law grants ownership of the items to the Dumolin family but does not extend to the intellectual property rights of the music.
