Marvin Gaye (nacido el 2 de abril de 1939 - 1 de abril de 1984), fue un músico y cantante de soul, smooth soul, quiet storm, blaxploitation y uno de los componentes fundamentales del estilo Motown Sound.

Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr., April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an iconic two-time Grammy-winning American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who gained international fame as an artist on the Motown record label in the 1960s and 1970s. Marvin began his career at Motown in 1961. n March, 1983, he gave his final performance in front of his old mentor and label for Motown 25, performing "What's Going On". He then embarked on a U.S. tour to support his album. The tour, ending in August 1983, was plagued by health problems and Gaye's bouts with depression, and fear over an alleged attempt on his life.

When the tour ended, he isolated himself by moving into his parents' house. He threatened to commit suicide several times after numerous bitter arguments with his father, Marvin Sr. On April 1, 1984, one day before his forty-fifth birthday, Gaye's father shot and killed him after an argument that had started after Marvin's parents argued over misplaced business documents. Ironically, Marvin was killed by a gun he had offered to his father. Marvin Sr. was sentenced to six years of probation after pleading guilty to manslaughter. Charges of first-degree murder were dropped after doctors discovered Marvin Sr. had a brain tumor. Spending his final years in a retirement home, he died of pneumonia in 1998.

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon
Let's get it on Ah, baby, let's get it on Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on
We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar
Since we've to be here Let's live I love you
There's nothing wrong with me Loving you, baby no no
And giving yourself to me can never be wrong If the love is true
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be
I'm asking you baby to get it on with me
I ain't gonna worry I ain't gonna push, won't push you baby
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Let's get it on Let's get it on
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout C'mon, baby
