Well, since someone else had to be a cynic and start a negative thread, I'll try to contribute something here.

Marvin Gaye was a brutally honest musician, flawed as he may have been. Take, for example, Here My Dear, the album he had to make so the royalties would go to his ex-wife. Now just about anyone else would have made his own version of Metal machine Music, but not Marvin. He had enough integrity to end up recording what would be one of his best albums, so, for me, he gets kudos for that.

And, of course, classics like I Heard It Through the Grapevine and What's Going On.
