Biography

One of the most gifted, visionary, and enduring talents ever launched into orbit by the Motown hit machine, Marvin Gaye blazed the trail for the continued evolution of popular black music. Moving from lean, powerful R&B to stylish, sophisticated soul to finally arrive at an intensely political and personal form of artistic self-expression as showcased on his 1971 classic What's Going On. His work not only redefined soul music as a creative force. but also expanded its impact as an agent for social change. The long-simmering eroticism implicit in much of his work reached its boiling point with 1973's Let's Get It On. ~ Jason Ankeny
