In celebration of the first Volume 2 magazine cover, Wax Poetics presents a selection of Marvin Gaye songs, showcasing the breadth and depth of the Motown legend's catalogue.

Marvin Gaye remains one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, his songs enchanting and inspiring for decades. For the innocent love tunes of his early years through the mature philosophical tone poems of his latter, Gaye never missed a beat and an opportunity to make the listener feel something. 

Enjoy this big, beautiful playlist from the man who wished nothing but love for the world.
