Marvin Gaye, who would have been 70 tomorrow, was shot and killed by his father 25 years ago today.

And I still don't know what to say about that.

Except this: This is just a lip-synch; I have no idea what's going on in the background; it's not even close to my favorite Marvin Gaye song. But everyone's going to talk about "What's Going On," and this is the happiest-looking video I could find*. And today especially, he deserves that.

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

And I'll throw in a bonus, because while not exactly happy, this is really cool.

"Ain't That Peculiar" (a cappella), Marvin Gaye

* (I don't think it's a coincidence that a Tammi Terrell duet wins that distinction.)
