Date of release: May 29 2026
Marvin Gaye always dreamed of being a smooth crooner, sitting on a stool, possibly behind a piano, delivering velvety songs like Nat King Cole. But Motown had other plans. Pushed between raw R&B and polished pop, Gaye fought to find his own voice, eventually rising to become one of the greatest soul singers in history. Motown Records released the first Marvin Gaye record in 1961 (Im Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over, a single intended for (radio) promotion from the singers debut album. This was followed up by the officially released Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide a week later. Gaye scored his first real hit with Stubborn Kind of Fellow in 1962, which he had co-written himself, joking about his alleged stubbornness. He found his own unique style with the single released at the end of the year: Hitch Hike. The foundations were now laid for an enormous series of chart successes: Pride And Joy, Can I Get A Witness, How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) and Aint That Peculiar are all Motown classics from 1963-1965 which are still being regularly played today after all these years. The duets he recorded with Kim Weston (It Takes Two), especially Tammi Terrell and Diana Ross were certainly at least as good. He scored his biggest ever hit with I Heard It Through The Grapevine in 1968. Whats Going On from the same titled album became a number 1 hit in the USA and the album was received as a masterpiece and is regarded as one of the most important records in pop history. In 1973, the artistically and commercially very successful, Lets Get It On album was mainly a musical ode to Marvins love for his new muse Janis Hunter. His journey continued after a turbulent relationship, addiction and a dramatic creative rebirth in Belgium, where he crafte the global hit Sexual Healing in 1982. Marvin Gaye left behind timeless hits, groundbreaking albums, and a legacy that shaped the sound of modern soul. His story, from ambition to artistry, from struggle to brilliance, remains as powerful as the music he created. Music On Vinyl proudly presents a special coloured edition of the Marvin Gaye Collected album which is available as a limited edition of 10,000 individually numbered copies on white (LP1) and silver coloured vinyl (LP2) and includes a booklet with liner notes.
