This FBI file concerns a 1977 complaint involving proposed Marvin Gaye appearances in Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia.

The released records include a September 1977 FD-302 interview, bank debit and transfer records concerning $40,000 sent to Concerts South Enterprises in Lithia Springs, Georgia, and a statement acknowledging indebtedness. A bureau communication states that Marvin Gaye was to appear in Richmond on September 19 and Norfolk on September 20, but the appearances did not occur, and agents were directed to track any effort to settle the complaint or interview Empire Productions personnel.
