Let's Get It OnLet's Get It On is the landmark 1973 album by Marvin Gaye. It is a sexually and romantically charged album that was very successful on the charts and remains "a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy." http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:4sj20r8ac48n The album became such a memorable album in Gaye's collection that it led the sexual revolution in music to a newer frontier. It also is a tribute to Gaye's doo-wop roots as he co-composed four of the songs with a fellow soul pioneer Ed Townsend while he composed the rest of the four either by himself or with others like Gwen Gordy and his own wife Anna Gordy. Though around this time, Gaye's marriage to Anna had fallen apart and he had dedicated most of the album to his new girlfriend, a teenage Janis Hunter who was around the age of sixteen when the two started dating. Everyone has since copied something from the album and some have gone so far as to take Gaye's image of him in a red skull cap, unshaven beard, and his ear pierced as part of their look in the same way hip-hoppers decided to not to polish their looks starting with Run DMC. The album became his biggest-selling recording ever in Motown surpassing "What's Going On" where it peaked at #2 Pop and #1 R&B. Tracklist - "Let's Get It On" (Gaye/Townsend)
