Marvin Gaye, born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr.; April 2, 1939 - April 1, 1984) was an American soul singer, songwriter, and musician. Gaye 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, including "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and duet recordings with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, and Tammi Terrell, later earning the titles Prince of Motown and Prince of Soul.

During the 1970s, he recorded the concept albums "What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On" and became one of the first artists in Motown to break away from the reins of its production company. Gaye's 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, Gaye released the 1982 Grammy Award-winning hit "Sexual Healing" and its parent album "Midnight Love".

Since his death, many institutions have posthumously bestowed Gaye with awards and other honors...including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
