Original text - Engels - Marvin Gaye: The Real Thing

Marvin has got to be rated as one of the most innovative artists that God ever created. I say that not only because of songs such as "What's Goin On", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "Can I Get A Witness". When I saw Marvin Gaye performance his very unique treatment of the national anthem at the NBA all-star game, I stood there and I just welled up with emotion.
