Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye personified the decade breaking out in the early 70s with MONSTER hits and closing out the 70s with even more. Rumor is his masterpiece album What’s Going On was literally laughed at in a Motown meeting and shelved. Marvin was WAY ahead of his time and he is haunting today’s music industry with a vengeance. Interest in him has exploded into a generation that wasn’t even born when he died because of Robin Thicke’s smash Blurred Lines. The family of Marvin may be suing but watch Marvin’s music sales skyrocket.
