Is Marvin Gaye the first artist to become a legend based off a few good singles

[Standing on business]

What's going on
Let's get it on
What's happening brother
Sexual healing
Inner city blues


Outside of his famous singles he was a normal mediocre artist with album fillers. I think his pops killing him also added to his legacy

 

[Not The Ruler O9]

no, but you're the first poster to get this 1 star

Horrible troll attempt, I mean horrible.

I'll just take this moment to post the most cohesive album I've ever heard. Like, the shyt flows together so seamlessly. It's like one long song, but in a good way.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Marvin got numerous classics, dig deeper..

 

[L. Deezy]

yeah, lets just exclude all his other work with Tammy Terrell too.

Personally Im not a fan of Marvin, but I get his legendary status.

Listening to that right now. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. Marvin is perfect.

Whats going on is a Top 5 album of any genre. Plus "I heard it through the Grapevine" is cited by many critcs as THEE best song ever.

Great Session drummer in the early Motown 60s (played on classics such as "Dancing in the Streets, "Please Mr Postman" "Fingertips")
His Tammy Terrell stuff
His Motown 60s stuff
His cohesive albums of the 70s rival the best trio of all time (Lets get it on, Whats Going on, I want you)
Best Breakup Album ever: Here my dear
One of the biggest comeback songs of the 80s: Sexual Healing


One of the best renditions of the National Anthem ever



Dude is the GOAT

I didn't actually know he was a session drummer like that

No way you can front on Marvins legacy and contributions to music though.

I couldn't disagree more.
