From early Motown session drummer to soul legend, Marvin Gaye reshaped R&B with hits like I Want You and a record breaking I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Motown’s best‑selling single of the 1960s.
In 1971 he broke free creatively, releasing the socially conscious What’s Going On, a landmark that blended soul with urgent commentary on war and civil rights.
Each song tells a piece of Marvin Gaye’s story, powerful and full of soul.
Whether you’re a cult fan or you’re listening for the first time, this Artist Hour will explore all of his key tracks that helped define a movement.
