In addition to being one of soul music’s most dynamic performers, Marvin Gaye was also one of its most prodigious musical artists. In honor of its 50th anniversary, Gaye’s iconic album Let’s Get It On is being reissued in a special deluxe edition. The collection includes a treasure trove of bonus material, from demos and alternate takes to other recordings and songs from the many studio sessions that ultimately produced the album.
Here’s Gaye performing the title track in Amsterdam back in 1976.
