1984: Marvin Gaye was killed in LA

Marvin Gaye caught my attention when he recorded those great duets with the late Tammi Tarrell.  

A few years later, he recorded "I heard it through the grapevine" and his career  took off to historic levels.

It does not seem possible but Marvin Gaye was killed on this day in 1984.

It happened in Los Angeles and he was just 44.  Very sad!
