0486. Marvin Gaye
Let's Get It On

Excuse me if I'm getting all hot and bothered here, but Marvin's so smooth I'm pretty sure he got people knocked up every gig he played just by singing. If this album's got a theme it's overtly summed up in the title and title track: Marvin wants to start something steamy, right now.

But more than just sexytime, there's love in the air - there's soul with a hint of funk and a hefty dose of want.
This is where Maxwell and D'Angelo among many others got their groove from.

Quite fascinating that Marvin just a couple of years earlier had made one of the classic conscious albums, as this is one of the classic baby-making albums.
