On April 1, 1984, Marvin Gaye -- Motown legend and perhaps the most gifted R&B singer in music history -- was shot and killed by his own father after an argument in his Los Angeles home. Although his tragic death cut short a late-career resurgence, his smooth vocals and socially conscious lyrics continue to resonate with fans to this day.

Hosts: Derek Kaufman & Jason Beckerman
