Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr.; April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer.
He helped to shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist with a string of hits, earning him the nicknames "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul".
Gaye's Motown hits include "Ain't That
PeculiarHow Sweet
It Is (To Be Loved By You)", and
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine", and duet recordings with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Diana Ross, and Tammi Terrell.
During the 1970s, he recorded the albums "
What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On" and became one of the first artists in Motown, along with Stevie Wonder, to break away from the reins of a production company.
His later recordings influenced several contemporary R&B subgenres, such as quiet storm and neo soul.
Following a period in Europe as a tax exile in the early 1980s, he released the 1982 hit "Sexual Healing", which won him his first two Grammy Awards, and its parent album "Midnight Love".
Gaye's last television appearances were at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, where he sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and on "Soul Train" which was his third and final appearance.
On April 1, 1984, the day before his 45th birthday, Gaye's father, Marvin Gay Sr., fatally shot him at their house in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.
Many institutions have posthumously bestowed Gaye with awards and other honors including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and inductions into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

You (Marvin Gaye song)
"You" is a 1967 single released by American singer Marvin Gaye on the Tamla label.
Released as the first single from Gaye's "In the Groove" album, it was written by Ivy Jo Hunter, Jack Goga and Jeffrey Bowen and produced by Hunter.
The song talked of a man wanting to keep a rendezvous secret with one woman due to their differing social statuses, Marvin's narrator being working class, while the woman is upper class.
Recorded after Gaye recorded his
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" single, it showcased a new rougher Gaye vocal than usual signaling a change in the singer's direction as he stepped away from the sophisticated-styled soul that dominated his mid-sixties releases.
A modest hit on the pop charts peaking at number thirty-four, it was a top ten single on the R&B charts where it peaked at number seven.
