Let’s Get It On

Despite his huge success with his 1971 political concept album What’s Going On, Marvin Gaye left social concerns behind for those of a more intimate nature with this 1973 album. Let’s Get It On album broke new ground, gaining its place in history as one of the most sexual albums ever recorded, laying the basis for every slow jam ever after, and making Gaye both socially concerned and sexy — a potent commercial combination.
