Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On, released in 1973, was an instant classic, blending soulful vocals and sensual lyrics that cemented his status as a sex symbol. Co-written with Ed Townsend, the song topped the Billboard charts, staying #1 for two weeks on the Pop Singles chart and eight weeks on the Soul chart. With over 10 million copies sold in the U.S. and a diamond certification, it remains one of Motown’s biggest hits and a milestone in Gaye’s legendary career.
