While the other two artists mentned above make harr to make any absolute claims about their imaged futur, I thk ’s a ltle easier to image that Gaye would have found a way to thrive even while his peers were phed to mercial rndancy or started makg mic that felt beneath their abili.

Gaye is one of the few Motown artists who me up through the ranks of that label’s star-makg system and ntued to evolve wh the tim up until his untimely ath one day shy of his 45th birthday.

After some dabblgs doo-wop early on, Gaye posned himself as a crooner of pop standards like “My Funny Valente” and “How High The Moon, ” before quickly embracg the new sound of R&B and soul. If there’s any posive to be found amid all the legal clamor regardg the siari between “Got To Give It Up” and Rob Thicke’s “Blurred L, ” ’s that ’s great to see Marv Gaye’s mic is still fluencg today’s artists and producers.

50 YEARS AFTER MARV GAYE ASKED, ‘WHAT’S GOG ON?’ AMERI STILL SEARCHG FOR AN ANSWER

Great as the whole thg is, the apex is this nearly eight-mute track that balanc his raw anger and rignatn at his ex draggg him through a nasty urt fight wh one of his more sensual vol performanc and a steamy backg track that ces three mut to a duet between Fernando Harkns’ tenor sax and Gaye’s Moog reports. The origal is all punch and fire, but spired by the succs a few years earlier of “I Heard It Through The Grapeve, ” Gaye and the Funk Brothers turn to the soulful show of support that songwrers Barrett Strong and Norman Whfield exprsed their lyrics. Try as they might, no other volist uld be those two sensibili as Gaye do here, brgg to life the guy that you wanted to brg home to meet mom and then sneak off to the bathroom for a quickie before dner is served.

In a recent terview for a new CNN documentary about Gaye’s work, tled “What’s Gog On: Marv Gaye’s Anthem for the Ag, ” the Grammy-nomated artist and activist relled redisverg the album jt before headg to a prott Nashville last summer. Marv Gaye uld have sung somebody’s Power Pot prentatn and would still have sound like a love song torn om the pths of his soul, so llectns like this one, which feature several of his greatt sgl, n’t really miss.

It’s Marv Gaye -- and there are classics here like “Let’s Get It On, ” “You’re a Wonrful One, ” “I Heard It Through the Grapeve” and ’s equally imprsive siblg “That’s the Way Love Is, ” and the magnificent and elegant “What’s Gog On. ” What mak this two-disc set feel a ltle more hive and plete than most on the market is the prence of not jt his early- and middle-reer Motown releas, but his later work as well; for stance, Gaye’s brilliant Top Ten swan song, “Sexual Healg” om 1982 and his twilight stay at Columbia Rerds, is also clud here.

WATCH: CHARLIE PUTH ADMS 'MARV GAYE' WAS THE WORST SONG HE'S EVER RERD

There are some thgs one uld argue for cln -- “A’t That Peculiar” and “Trouble Man” are jt two sis that e immediately to md -- but the miracle that was Marv Gaye wh a love song through loud and clear. They beme a backg group for former Moonglows sger Harvey Fuqua, and by 1961 Gaye had moved to Detro, where he beme a ssn dmmer for Motown, playg on ton like The Marvelett’ “Please Mr. ” But Gaye began edgg toward a more emotnally and milly sophistited place wh 1968’s immortal “I Heard It Through the Grapeve, ” and 1971 he helped alter the urse of soul wh the socially nsc, plexly textured What’s Gog On.

Gaye never stopped novatg—his smolrg, dis-iendly 1977 smash “Got to Give It Up” was a ccial fluence on Michael Jackson’s adult reer, and the synths and dm mache of 1982’s electro-soul burner “Sexual Healg” once aga led R&B someplace new.

HOW A 1979 BOXG MATCH BEME THE FIGHT OF MARV GAYE’S LIFE

Tammi Terrell, "I Can't Believe You Love Me"Perhaps no Motown story is more tragic than that of Tammi Terrell, a sweet young songbird who beme famo after replacg Kim Wton as Marv Gaye's duet partner.

Marv Gaye, "This Love Starved Heart Of Me (It's Killg Me)Marv Gaye's talog of hs for Motown was so strong that 1994, the label released 25 rerdgs om his reer that had never seen the light of day. Whfield and Strong then had Marv Gaye rerd the song but still no luck: Motown head Berry Gordy chose Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Your Unchangg Love" over "Grapeve" as his next sgle.

Rodney Jon, the Chigo disc jockey at WVON, started playg on the air, Berry Gordy rensired and released Gaye's versn as a sgle, which beme even more popular and known as the five versn of the song. Gaye's "Grapeve" pound the charts about a year after Knight's, gog to #1 Ameri on December 14, this heartbreakg tune about a man who fds out sendhand that his girl is cheatg on him, Marv Gaye wng out the emotn the song thanks to Norman Whfield, who produced the track and gave him very specific stctns. The soundtrack also boasts other Motown hs such as Gaye's "What's Gog On"; The Temptatns' "My Girl" and "A't Too Proud to Beg"; The Miracl' "I Send That Emotn" and "The Tracks Of My Tears"; The Four Tops' "It's the Same Old Song"; The Marvelett' "Too Many Fish the Sea" and Martha and The Vanllas' "Dancg the Street" (which was -wrten by Gaye) origal versn of this song was prented for nsiratn at one of the famo Friday morng meetgs help at the Motown offic where Berry Gordy would ci which songs to release as sgl.
