Here's something I did not know:
Farr
shared rookie of the year honors with his fellow Lion Lem Barney, who
was his roommate. The two also shared an unusual distinction: They
became friends with the singer Marvin Gaye, who invited them to sing
backup on his 1971 hit “What’s Going On.”
“We
thought like always that we’d just sit and watch him perform,” Barney
told The Los Angeles Times in 2010. “But he said, ‘Lem, you take this
part,’ and, ‘Mel, you take this part.’ And as a result, it got us a gold
record.”
