Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing (1982)
Marking a new chapter in Marvin Gaye's career, "Sexual Healing" was his first major hit following his move from Motown to Columbia Records. Co-written with Odell Brown and David Ritz, the track blends smooth soul vocals with electronic percussion, synthesised rhythms and a hypnotic bass groove, reflecting the emerging sounds of early-'80s R&B.
Recorded in Belgium at Studio Katy in September 1981, the song was produced by Gaye himself and became an international smash, reaching No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 in the UK singles chart.
The original 7-inch pairs the vocal version with an instrumental take, allowing the distinctive production and rhythmic arrangement to shine through. A landmark recording that helped introduce Gaye's music to a new generation of listeners.
