Soul Man

I'm reading: Soul ManTweet this!

      April 1st, 1984 was undeniably one of the worst days in musical history.  In a sad turn of events, Marvin Gaye was shot dead at the young age of 45 during a heated argument with his father.  The world lost a musical pioneer that day and soul music would never be the same.  25 years later, Marvin's music has touched millions of listeners who may have not even known what Motown was.  His influence can still be found in almost any contemporary R&B singer.

    The infectious soul in Marvin's voice still remains just as fresh and relevant as it was 25 years ago.  We all would be a little better off with a little Marvin Gaye in our lives.

   This is one of my favorite Marvin Gaye tunes.  Enjoy.
