Marvin Gaye: Let's Get It On (Tamla)

UNLESS A veritable monster soul single rears its head during the final quarter of this year, Marvin Gaye will have the pleasure of having the best selling soul record for the third time in five years. In 1969, his 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' stayed top of the R&B charts for seven weeks. And in 1971 the pacesetting 'What's Going On' tied with Jean Knight's 'Mr. Big Stuff' as the top seller.
