Here, My Dear segues from “Anger”, a song detailing the physical and spiritual anguish that comes hand in hand with the life and trials of Marvin Gaye, into a question he poses to his ex-wife: is that enough?

Towards the end of the 1970s, drug abuse and tax issues were taking their toll on Marvin’s fortune. The troubled star saw Anna as swooping in to take what she could while he was down in order to finance her own lavish lifestyle.

To get back at her, Marvin airs his feelings about their relationship to the world, claiming Anna’s “possessive” nature and her refusal to fulfill her wedding vow of “loving and obeying” her husband led to their divorce.

Marvin came up with “Is That Enough?” after a day in court, humming the melody and some lyrics.
