Let's Get It On

Ed Townsend, a 1950s one-hit-wonder, penned "Let's Get It On" in 1958 with a focus on moving past his struggles with alcoholism. When Marvin Gaye collaborated with Townsend, he transformed the song into a romantic ballad after meeting Janis Hunter. The song's success cemented Gaye's legacy as a music icon. Townsend and Gaye shared songwriting credits. . #marvingaye #letsgetiton #70smusic #nostalgia #memories #thevinylloungemtl #montreal #vc #vinylcommunity #vlmtl #vinylmontreal #vinyl #vinylcoll
