Brief introduction

Born in a deeply religious family, Marvin Gaye was one of the most gifted, visionary, and enduring talents. As the best selling Motown artist of all-time, Marvin Gaye's soulful voicehelped shape the "Motown Sound." He could talk about the demands of art and the need for total commercialism in the same breath.

What's Going On, his representative work,  brought Gaye's deeply held spiritual beliefs to the fore to explore issues ranging from poverty and discrimination to the environment, drug abuse and political corruption;  Gaye structured the songs around the point of view of his brother Frankie, himself a soldier recently returned from Vietnam. He was the kind of artist who could speak of his personal concerns and speak for millions.
