On Tuesday, 1 April, Today Radio's Artist Hour pays tribute to one of the most iconic and influential voices in soul and R&B, Marvin Gaye.

It was on this day in 1984 that the world lost Marvin Gaye, a visionary whose music continues to resonate across generations. From the raw vulnerability of What's Going On to the sensuality of Let's Get It On and the undeniable groove of Got to Give It Up, Marvin Gaye’s catalogue is both timeless and deeply human.

His voice was velvet, his production groundbreaking, and his influence undeniable. You can hear echoes of Marvin in countless artists today, from D’Angelo and Alicia Keys to Leon Bridges and Anderson .Paak. His legacy lives on not just in the music industry, but in every artist who dares to be bold, honest, and soulful.

Tune in to Today Radio tonight at 8pm for a full hour of uninterrupted Marvin Gaye music. The Artist Hour airs every Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm, each episode spotlighting a different artist who’s shaped the sound of modern music.
