Marvin Gaye : Lost And Found: Love Starved Heart (Rare and Unreleased)

Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. 

(April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) 

was an American 

R&B and soul singer, 

songwriter,

 musician and record producer.

 Commonly referred to as the

 "Prince of Motown" 

and

 "Prince of Soul", 

he helped to shape 

the sound of 

Motown and soul music 

in the 1960s and 1970s. 

A cultural icon, 

Gaye is often considered

 one of the 

greatest singers

 and songwriters

 of all time.

Born and raised in 

Washington, D.C., 

Gaye began his career 

being guided by

 Harvey Fuqua, 

who put him in his group,

 Harvey and the Moonglows, 

before Gaye ventured 

into a solo career

 at the beginning of 

the 1960s. 

Signing to Motown's 

Tamla subsidiary, 

he achieved stardom

 with a series of 

hit singles such as 

"How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved by You)", 

"Ain't That Peculiar" 

and 

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"

 and also earned success 

as a collaborative

 duet partner 

with several

 female artists,

 most notably, 

Diana Ross 

and

 Tammi Terrell, 

the latter of whom 

he recorded the hits

 "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

 and

 "You're All I Need to Get By". 

Following the successful

 release of his landmark album, 

What's Going On 

and its hit of 

the same name,

 in 1971, 

Gaye became one

 of the first 

Motown artists

 to break away 

from the reins of a 

production company,

 later producing the albums, 

Let's Get It On

I Want You

 and 

Here, My Dear.

After a period as a

 tax exile in Europe 

and leaving 

Motown for 

Columbia Records

 in 1982, 

Gaye re-emerged 

that year with

 "Sexual Healing"

 and its album,

 Midnight Love

which became his 

most successful single 

and album 

respectively to date 

and performed a 

memorable rendition of

 "The Star-Spangled Banner" 

at the 1983

 NBA All-Star Game. 

The success of 

"Sexual Healing"

 led to Gaye winning an

 American Music Award 

and 

two Grammy Awards. 

On April 1, 1984,

 Gaye was shot 

and killed

 by his father,

 Marvin Gay Sr. 

at his parents' house

 in Western Heights, Los Angeles, 

on the eve of his 

45th birthday.

 Gay Sr.

 later pleaded 

no contest to

 voluntary manslaughter, 

receiving a six-year 

suspended sentence 

and five years 

of probation

.In addition to 

1960s soul music, 

Gaye also influenced 

1970s soul music 

and his recordings 

of that era 

later influenced 

the R&B subgenres

 quiet storm 

and neo soul. 

Several of his hit singles 

and albums

 have made 

several best-of

 Rolling Stone lists,

 including its 

greatest albums 

and greatest songs 

of all time.

In addition to 

the two Grammys

 and American Music Award,

 Gaye's accolades include

 the Grammy Lifetime 

Achievement Award, 

a Hollywood 

Walk of Fame star 

and inductions into

 the NAACP

 Hall of Fame, 

National 

Rhythm and Blues 

Hall of Fame, 

Songwriters 

Hall of Fame

 and the 

Rock and Roll

 Hall of Fame.

Sam Cooke : King Of Soul


 

Samuel Cooke

 (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964) 

was an American

 Soul singer 

and songwriter.

 Considered one 

of the most influential 

soul artists 

of all time,

 Cooke is commonly

 referred to as the

 "King of Soul"

 for his distinctive vocals,

 pioneering contributions

 to the genre,

 and significance in

 popular music. 

During his eight-year career, 

Cooke released 

29 singles 

that charted in

 the Top 40

 of the

 Billboard Hot 100 chart, 

as well as

 20 singles

 in the Top 10 of 

Billboard's 

Black Singles chart.

 In 1964, 

he was shot and killed 

by the manager 

of a motel in

 Los Angeles. 

After an inquest 

and investigation,

 the courts ruled 

Cooke's death

 to be a 

justifiable homicide. 

His family has 

since questioned

 the circumstances

 of his death.

 In 2015, 

Cooke was ranked

 number 28

 in Billboard magazine's

 list of the 

"35 Greatest

 R&B Artists of All Time".
