Trevor Nelson hosts a special show marking the 30th anniversary of the death of the soul icon that is Marvin Gaye.

A true music legend, Marvin is known for so many seminal tracks, including signature tracks such as 'I Heard I Through The Grapevine', 'What's Goin' On' and 'Sexual Healing', as well as his early classic Tamla/Motown duets with Mary Wells, Kim Weston and Tammi Terrell.

In this one-hour special, Trevor will be paying tribute to this influential singer/songwriter who tragically passed away on April 1, 1984, after infamously being shot by his father. The day of the show itself would have been Marvin's 75th birthday.

Trevor will be playing some of Marvin's best-loved tracks as well as dipping into the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive to hear from the soul legend himself.

Plus past big name Soul Show guests - such as George Benson, Corinne Bailey Rae and Robin Thicke - plus other famous fans like actor Bill Nighy will be sharing their favourite tracks and revealing what Marvin's music means to them.
