"What's Going On?" and "Let's Get It On"

I remember as an 8-year old kid, I didn't know much about Marvin Gaye at all. I think this was around the time Thriller was out, "Sexual Healing" was getting a lot of burn on the radio as well. I would hear it much as I rode in the hatchback trunk of my carpool's station wagon. I remember watching the Grammy's that year and seeing him win. I remember the first time seeing him perform live was on Motown 25. Of course, I was only really watching to see Michael Jackson, but Marvin was really up there singing. Then, we heard the news.. I was a kid and wasn't really familiar with his legacy and discography at all.. but I do remember having his image, name, and voice engrained in my psyche for a good amount of time just before he was taken away. I will always remember that.
