Marvin Gaye was a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer known for his R&B and soul contributions to the Motown label. Gaye rose to fame in the 1960s and 70s with hits like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "You're All I Need to Get By," "What's Going On," "Sexual Healing" and "Let's Get It On."
Gaye's life ended tragically when, in 1984, he was shot by his father during an argument. Gaye's father was sentenced to six years of probation after pleading guilty to manslaughter. First-degree murder charges were dropped after it was discovered that Gaye's father had a brain tumor.
Gaye has been posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
