The career of Marvin Gaye blazed the trail for the continued evolution of popular black music. Moving from lean, powerful R&B to stylish, sophisticated soul to finally arrive at an intensely political and personal form of artistic self-expression, his work not only redefined soul music as a creative force but also expanded its impact as an agent for social change. Scenes From A Life features interviews with family and friends and some of Marvin Gaye's greatest hits including:

Sexual Healing
Let's Get It On
What's Going On
I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Ain't No Mountain High Enough (with Tammi Terrell)
