Obituary
DETROIT (AP) — Singer, songwriter and record producer Harvey Fuqua, an early mentor of Marvin Gaye, has died. Fuqua was 80.
Ron Brewington of the Motown Alumni Association says Fuqua died of a heart attack Tuesday at a Detroit hospital.
The Louisville, Ky., native founded the R&B-doo-wop group the Moonglows, which signed with DJ Alan Freed. The group's first single was the 1954 hit "Sincerely."
Fuqua added Gaye and others in 1958 to a reconstituted group Fuqua called Harvey and the Moonglows. It had the 1958 hit "Ten Commandments of Love."
He started Tri-Phi and Harvey Records in 1961, recording the Spinners, Junior Walker & the All Stars, and Shorty Long.
Motown Records founder Berry Gordy later hired Fuqua to develop recording talent.

Some great artists would have gone unnoticed if it were not for great artists and business-minded people such as Harvey Fuqua. "Sincerely" was one of my favs as was Fuqua and every teenage-under-the-street-light-on-the-corner wannabes crooned "Ten Commandements."
My condolence to the Fuqua family. May your wonderful memories forever help you to endure and your love of Christ will see you through. God Bless each and every loved one of Mr. Harvey Fuqua.
