207 Words1 Pages
Marvin Gaye, also known as the Prince of Soul, didn’t start his solo career until 1961 when he was signed to Motown records. Early on in his career he was a session drummer for many different Motown legends and it wasn’t until 1962 with the release of “Stubborn Kind of Fellow” that he got his first hit. Even though he had hits that were dance style and 12-bar blues he favored romantic and sexual songs. Gaye amazed everyone with duets with both Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell. Some of his greatest duets were with Terrell and the two were close up until she died of brain tumor. Not long after her death the song “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” was released. This became Gaye’s biggest single of the 60’s and was also Motown’s best selling single
