Marvin Gaye, born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr., was an American singer and songwriter who lived from April 2, 1939 to April 1, 1984. In the 1960s, he helped shape the sound of Motown, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist with a string of hits, earning him the nicknames "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul." Gaye was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr., on the eve of his 45th birthday on April 1, 1984, at their home in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, following an argument. Gay Sr. later pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to a six-year suspended sentence and five years probation.
