Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye got his start in music in the family's church, but he began singing professionally in the 1950s. In 19958, he joined his first musical group called The Marquees. He met Berry Gordy and later married Gordy's sister, Anna Gordy and became an artist at Motown Records, which Gordy had founded.

During his time at Motown, Gaye was popular as a solo artist and as a duet partner with Tammi Terrell. He and Terrell recorded several hit songs for Motown, including How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)". Terrell died suddenly of a brain tumor in 1967 and Gaye was hit hard by her death, refusing to perform for five years.http://rockhall.com/inductees/marvin-gaye/bio/

Gaye returned as a solo artist and wrote several more hit songs, including socially conscious melodies such as "Mercy Mercy Me" and "Inner City Blues". His music also became more erotic with songs such as "Let's Get It On" and "I Want You".http://rockhall.com/inductees/marvin-gaye/bio/ After his divorce, his addiction to cocaine became worse and he took an extended break from recording.http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/gaye_marvin/bio.jhtml

He staged a comeback with the song "Sexual Healing in 1982 which earned Gaye his first Grammy Award.http://www.biography.com/articles/Marvin-Gaye-9307988?part=1 In Rolling Stone magazine, Marvin Gaye was ranked as number 6 on the list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.http://classic.motown.com ...
