Let’s Get It On!
Offered here is an iconic Marvin Gaye Type 1 Original Photograph, taken during the recording of Let’s Get It On in 1973. The Prince of Motown is pictured in his instantly recognizable red beanie and denim shirt - the very look immortalized on the album cover. When we first came across this intimate portrait, we thought that it could easily have been chosen for cover instead!

Marvin Gaye is widely regarded as one of the greatest singers of all time, a defining voice of Motown in the 1960s and the creator of some of the most enduring R&B and soul music ever produced. His 1973 masterpiece Let’s Get It On stands among the all-time great albums, with its title track ranked as one of the finest songs ever recorded.

Photographer Jim Britt was on site at Motown’s Hitsville West Studios in Los Angeles during these legendary sessions, capturing this striking image along with the other unforgettable shots - including the one that graced the iconic cover.
