On April 1 1984 Motown singer Marvin Gaye was shot to death by his father when the two got into a fight, one day before Marvin's 45th birthday. Pursuant to a plea bargain, Marvin Senior pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a suspended sentence and probation.

Still such a great loss and so sad to lose such a talented performer. Alcoholism is a horrible disease.

I remember Marvin Gaye with such love. I wonder what he could have done for the world with his music. So sad, so much potenial, such a waste. He was, for me, a beautiful man.

Always thought that he had such a wonderful voice . Recently watched a show abt Motown that went into details of how he recorded " What's Going On " and of his unique creativity .

My niece had a classmate in high school who was killed by his father. Very sad situation.

It sure doesn't seem like it's been that long - what a sad day that was. Marvin Gaye was such a talented musician. What a voice. R.I.P.

I've been listening to his Greatest Hits CD in my car lately. Love the old songs with Tammie Terrell. And Distant Lover.
He sang the National Anthem at a basketball game, I forget which one. It is on you tube. I love it. He was just so smooth.........
Edited to add it was the 1983 NBA All Star Game.

@jannabelle1 When I read this today I didn't think it had been that long either.
