Background:

Marvin Gaye was one of the most influential music performers of his generation.  Also known as the “Prince of Soul,” he helped shape the buoyant sound of the Motown record label in the 1960s and broaden the scope of R&B music in the 1970s.  Released in 1971, his expansive masterwork, What’s Going On, is widely considered one of the greatest recordings in the history of American popular music.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
