[@thesoultwins72]

David Rose Marie......Mmm - yes, Mr Gaye was an amazing multi-talented artiste and an exceptional [if reluctant] singer.....but the 'greatest'? A greater vocalist than Levi Stubbs? And aren't you forgetting the singer that single-handedly made Berry Gordy [and Motown] the powerhouse producer and record company they became. I'm speaking of course, of the TRUE 'greatest singer' ever - Jackie Wilson. As Berry Gordy famously said of the late and [very great] Mr Wilson - 'He was so good, he could sing anything'. A more fitting tribute you will never hear.

As the son of baby boomers, this song makes me appreciate when times were simpler and less expensive. My grandparents 8 track player and 8mm Super 8 camera with no sound. Home movies and motown.

[@curtisstewart9426]

I was at work when it was announced that Marvin Gaye had been shot and killed by his father. I was depressed the rest of that day with grief. I remember this song, Ain't That Peculiar. And another great song, Can I Get A Witness. RIP Marvin. You were one of a kind. Smooth as silk.

As an elementary school kid in the 60s I didn't understand these songs in an adult way though I can still sing the lyrics from memory 50 years later. Those Motown songs pervaded the old neighborhoods before the neighborhood lost its collective mind. Weekends and summers were glorious before gangs and drugs destroyed things.

[@reneehowell2465]

[@patdwyer5204]

Yeah..... "Ain't That Peculiar". Mosogotam passed on a ton of great music. A lyric like "I know flowers grow from rain, but how can love grow from pain? " sure does mean more to me at 62 than 7 years old, and I remember it from an AM radio.

[@chrisgraham4595]

Marvin Gaye one of the best singers from Motown. His songs of the 60's decade were great but the 70's and 80's decades songs were better to me. It only means Marvin got better with time. I loved Marvin Gaye. Such an unfortunate tradegy and death. Cora Guice

Musically, Marvin could do no wrong!!!

[@NOV123]

His 60’s catalog was more bluesey and gospel influenced

[@amosbatto3051]

"What's Going On" in 1971 stands heads and shoulders over everything else Marvin Gaye did. Sadly, I think Marvin was fighting too many inner demons to ever create another album like "What's Going On".
