So Marvin Gaye only had one multi platinum album?????

Speak on it

Even besides his questionable relationship with Janis, he was also fukkin Denise Gordy when she was like 14-15 and got her pregnant.

Not here for the semantics. If Pedophile is the correct term or not, dude was clearly a fukkin creep and was R Kelly before there was an R Kelly.

Motown had a habit of not reporting their sales numbers to the RIAA so the lack of Gold and Platinum plaques for early Motown artists including Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder is NOT indicative of them lacking in sales,

Motown was like the Netflix of their day
