Thousands of Marvin Gaye Fans Respond To World Wide "A Stamp For Marvin" Campaign of Support For U.S. Commemorative Postage Stamp

Marvin Gaye Commemorative Stamp Gets Strong Support From Fans

Los Angeles, CA - Thousands of fans have responded to the intensive 3-month world wide "grass roots" campaign of support launched two months ago by the Motown Alumni Association, Los Angeles chapter to get a commemorative U.S. postage stamp for legendary Motown singer Marvin Gaye.

Ron Brewington, Executive Director, LA Chapter, MAA, says letters, petitions and post cards have been received from across the nation as well as around the world, including Britain, Norway and Sweden.

"The fans are loudly saying they would like to see a postage stamp for Marvin," says Brewington.

The "A Stamp For Marvin" campaign will end September 15th, in time for a meeting of the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee, U.S. Postal Service, scheduled for October.

During the last month of the campaign, fans have numerous options to express their support to the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee, U.S. Postal Service in Washington, DC to show their support so that Gaye can get the stamp on what would have been his 65th birthday on April 2, 2004.

They can either send a letter or post card saying "I support a stamp for Marvin Gaye" to:

Dr. Virginia Noelke
Chair, Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee
U.S. Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW
Room 5670
Washington, DC 20260-2437
