Marvin Gaye – Let's Get It On (1973)
One of the most recognisable recordings in soul music history, "Let's Get It On" finds Marvin Gaye at his most sensual and musically assured. Co-written with Ed Townsend, the song is built around a wonderfully relaxed groove, with warm electric piano, delicate guitar, subtle percussion and Gaye's unmistakable multi-layered vocals.
Recorded at Motown's Hitsville West studios in Los Angeles, the production combines sophisticated orchestration with an understated rhythm section, allowing the song's intimate atmosphere to take centre stage. Released in June 1973, it became Gaye's second US No. 1 pop single, spending two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
The original 7-inch pairs the title track with "I Wish It Would Rain", making this an essential Motown 45 and one of the defining records of the early-'70s soul era.
