He shaped Motown’s style in the 1960s, first as an in-house session musician and then as a solo performer with a run of hits, earning him the moniker “Prince of Motown” and “Prince of Soul.”<\/p>\n
“Ain’t That Peculiar,” “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You),” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” are among Gaye’s Motown hits. Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Tammi Terrell, and Diana Ross all recorded duets with Gaye. Gaye released the albums What’s Going On and Let’s Get It On in the 1970s, and was one of the first Motown performers to break free from the control of a production firm.<\/p>\n
Several contemporary R&B subgenres, such as quiet storm and neo-soul, were influenced by his later albums.<\/p>\n
In the early 1980s, he was a tax exile in Europe; in 1982, he recorded “Sexual Healing,” which earned him his first two Grammy Awards for the album Midnight Love.<\/p>\n
Gaye’s last broadcast appearances included “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, and Soul Train.<\/p>\n
Gaye was fatally shot by his father, Marvin Gay Sr., on the eve of his 45th birthday on April 1, 1984, at their home in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, after an argument.<\/p>\n
Later, Gay Sr. pled not guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to a six-year suspended sentence and five years of probation. The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as inductions into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have all been conferred on Gaye posthumously.<\/p>\n
