king or smokey robinson or ardent -- marvin gaye. i don't mean they are perfect fix but from a historical point of view if you want to get to know these people and hear them talking to you and hear them telling you their stories in the book that i have done with them are accurate and good and filled with funk and soul and heart. but in the case of aretha i just didn't feel that way and i felt as though i owed it to her to do my own version. >> host: david ritz when you make an arrangement such as with willie nelson or smokey robinson first of all is their nondisclosure agreement? can you be censored by the main author? >> guest: no yeah and i'm glad you asked me that because that's one of the most interesting things about my book. i give away all the control. i have no control and i remember one year i was at a conference near austin on a panel at web surfers in this biographer said david shouldn't be here because he is a ghostwriter and that's not a biographer. one of the reasons i can't trust his book is because he has no editorial

. >> host: david ritz, what's your connection to marvin gaye? >> guest: well, i loved him a lot. he was another guy i chased after because i wanted to do his autobiography. i just adored him. had been listening to him ever since i was a kid, and in 1979 he put out -- 1978 he put it out called "hear my gear" which was an autobiographical treatment autobiographical musical treatment of the acrimonious divorce he was going through with his wife. and the critics absolutely panned it. and i loved it. and i wrote a letter to "the new york times" praising and arguing with the critics attacking him hoping he would read the her in the times -- in read the letter in the times. he did and he called me. we got together, and we began working on his book. at the time he was not in great shape, and he went to hawaii and england and wound up in belgium. he wound up in europe, in belgium. and i went to belgium to continue to work on his autobiography. and that's where we wrote " sexual healing" together, the song, which was my way of trying to help him understand just what he was going through. s

i picked "what's going on" by marvin gaye. i am trying to inflict my taste on everyone. >> you noah lot about baseball too. >> i do. >> why the infatuation with baseball and how do we get rid of alex rodriguez? >> the difficult part for anyone as a baseball fan is getting people who are not white middle aged guys interested in the sport. i attempted to do that. my father took me to lots of games and used this angle. everything is a baseball analogy. he said he is not going away. break willy mays record and we will have to be big children about. it i love barry bonds and i worship his enormous black thighs. i don't think he cheated. yoipg he -- i don't think he is at fault at all. it is pure hipocritical demoralizing when they put less are players in. >> i love baseball. >> you are not a yankees fan are you? >> i am. >> well, we can still be friends. i think the yankees are so decisive. either they love me or hate me. >> it is a very supportable position. but the giants have won three of the last five series. so basically we ar

if you put on marvin gaye right now, i'd burst into tears. what do you do? beach, you know, you get laid, and you get high. it was here, all the way out at the tip of cape cod, provincetown, massachusetts, where the pilgrims first landed. and it was where i first landed. 1972, washed in a town with a head full of orange sunshine and a few friends. provincetown, a wonderland of tolerance, long-time tradition i don't even know what i thought i was going to be. at that point, i certainly didn't think i was going to be a cook. i don't know what i thought i was going to be. i was just, you know, hanging out in a beautiful place. >> a golden time, i look back on those fuzzy memories and they seem golden anyway. oh, there's john waters. first love, and there's me. this guy, johnny yingling was sort of a central figure in all of our lives. >> well, my name is john yingling, and this is spiritist pizza, its been here since 1971. this town is everything to me. provincetown is a really special place where people can be themselves. we all did drugs, acted young and craz

. >> i laugh because of the controversy around marvin gaye and robin thicke which was adjudicated by of the music rather than the point that marvin gaye's music is influential in the ways we normally think of influence. what does it mean to say hip-hop is more influential than even the london invasion? spp we have to talk about it a little bit and acknowledge that comparing these apples and oranges things is ridiculous. is impressionism better than surrealism? i don't know. it is important and interesting that we acknowledge that hip-hop is on that level. was iter more influential than rock? we have a serious decision about that. we should talk about the methodology of the study. looking at the billboard 10 oh 0, is that the best representation about what's going on in american music or world music? probably not. that's the stuff that's selling. we all know by their very natures these are under ground art forms. the real stuff that's changing things, change ing the worlding changing the game is often the under ground stuff. the mixed tapes alternative stuff. before it bubbles up to t

tell us about the lawsuit with marvin gaye's family.d dangerous to the musical community. the gap band has been added to bruno mars' "uptown funk." everybody is a little wary of any possibility of plagiarism. >> did you have any advice -- robin and pharrell lost the case what advice have you given him? >> not so much advice. just yes you're giving back $3 million. but you're $3 million ahead of where you were before. so from a purely accountant standpoint it's okay. but emotionally it's not a healthy precedent. they are appealing and of course we hope they win. >> by the way, you are a great sitcom theme writer. the theme to "different strokes." >> thank you. yeah. ♪ >> do you remember the words? >> yeah. and nobody has come back and said he ripped that off. >> no. that's an original. >> along with "sweaty and hot." >> alan thank you so much. catch episodes of "unusually thicke" on pop. >> that's tonight. >>> coming up mother's day ideas that will barely cost you a thing. just made with l nervous whitening will damage your teeth? introd
