Marvin Gaye was born today in 1939 and died yesterday in 1984. The fallen legend would have been 75 today. He is hands down one of the best and richest male voices, ever.

Marvin Gaye had a timid soul with a palpable silky voice that melted the hearts of many women that he was ironically terrified of.
