Subject: Marvin Gaye's last hit
Written By: Carl on 11/29/05 at 11:07 am
I believe it was the '83 hit 'Sexual Healing', but correct me if I'm wrong. I got into his music while in HS,he had some album advertised on a TV commercial, and I thought the music was great. I never knew he was shot by his father,that stunned me.

That was his last hit yes. It was ironically his comeback hit also :\'(

What better music to bring one up, he was great, no doubt he would still be performing today.

There were a bunch of tribute songs about Marvin Gaye in the 80's, one released before his death:
True - Spandau Ballet (This one was written before his death. It paid partial hommage to him and the motown sound he helped establish)
Missing You - Diana Ross
Nightshift - The Commodores (also a tribute to Jackie Wilson who died the same year as Marvin)
