Famed Motown singer, Marvin Gaye, seemingly had it all with a successful music career with hit singles like "Sexual Healing" and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine". But even with all the glory in the world, he fell victim to a life of drug addiction and depression. His troubling childhood rife with abuse at the hands of his father only made matters worse. But it's how he died that cements his story as one of triumph turn tragedy. On today's episode we look at his background, his music career, and the details of his death.
