The Tammi Terrell Story

2010 · 1h · Documentary · TV Movie

In 1967 Tammi Terrell teamed up with Marvin Gaye to record a series of classic romantic hits that remain the gold standard for romantic duets. Ironically, Tammi’s actual love life was not nearly as perfect as the romance in her songs, and included abusive relationships with both James Brown and David Ruffin. And the magic of her career ended abruptly when she collapsed on stage from a brain tumor while singing with Marvin in the fall of 1967. But she refused to give in to her fate.
