Heard it through the grape vine? I always liked the Gladys Night version better, but its probably only because Marvin's version was played sooo much.

...Just like music.... Gotta give it to Marvin, I mean common thousands of men have to thank him for "Lets get it on"

I love many of the artists listed, but I've got to go with Marvin Gaye. He had a unique and amazing voice, and his songs ran the gamut from love songs to party songs to sociopolitical commentary. His death was one of music's great tragedies IMO. :music::brokenheart:

Stevie Wonder would be in second for me, he had so many great songs but he also had many insipid ballads.

Smokey Robinson, hands down. He wrote so many great songs of that era. Including many that the some of the other artists you listed made famous.
