I didn't get into Marvin Gaye until after college. If I recall correctly, I started out with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and James Brown then explored the realm of Motown, soul, and R&B. I got hooked with "What's Going On?" which is about a war veteran coming home. And I think at that time of Gaye's death, his life and career was in the spotlight and it helped me backtrack. Now I have quite a few of the man's records. And they are on heavy rotation on my turntable and CD player.
