Marvin Gaye was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer who was a prominent figure in the Motown sound during the 1960s and 1970s. Born on April 2, 1939, in Washington, D.C., Gaye began his career in the music industry as a session drummer before signing with Motown Records in 1961. He released multiple successful albums, including "What's Going On" (1971) and "Let's Get It On" (1973), which are considered some of the greatest albums of all time.

He won multiple Grammy Awards throughout his career and was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
