Over the course of his career Marvin Gaye was a one-man hit machine, placing 67 of his songs on the Billboard charts.

"Live At The London Palladium" was a surprise hit in 1977, selling two million copies in the US and becoming one of the top ten best-selling albums of the year. Recorded over the course of several shows in London in October 1976, this set captures Marvin Gaye at a crossroads both personally and in his career. He reportedly agreed to tour Europe to make a fresh start, distance himself from his problems and make some quick money to pay off debts. None of the troubled artist is apparent in Gaye's performances as he soulfully covers material from his entire career up to that point. Of special note are three lengthy, intimate medleys of early hits. The only studio recording on this album is the side-long disco song "Got to Give It Up" which was tacked onto the original double vinyl to capitalize on the growing disco craze of the mid 1970s. An edited single version of this song reached number one on the Billboard singles chart.

Let's Get It On is the thirteenth studio album by American soul singer, songwriter, and producer Marvin Gaye. It was originally released on August 28, 1973 by the Motown Records subsidiary label Tamla. Recording sessions for the album took place during June 1970 to July 1973 at Hitsville U.S.A. and Golden World Studio in Detroit, and at Hitsville West in Los Angeles. Serving as Gaye's first venture into the funk genre and romance-themed music, Let's Get It On incorporates smooth soul, doo-wop, and quiet storm. It has been noted by critics for its sexually suggestive lyrics, and was cited by one writer as "one of the most sexually charged albums ever recorded".

Marvin Gaye’s "What's Going On" was a landmark recording and is considered one of the greatest albums ever made.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has obtained the master tapes of this landmark album and for the first time What’s Going On has been released on the Super Audio CD.
