Trevor's Album of the Week is Marvin Gaye's 1973 release Let's Get It On.

With the finest soul music, past and present. Trevor's Album of the Week is Marvin Gaye's 1973 release Let's Get It On.

Trevor's Album Of The Week is Marvin Gaye's 1973 release Let's Get It On. 
 
After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What's Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let's Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. 
 
Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye's passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and You Sure Love To Ball. Silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody. 
 
With each performance laced with innuendo, each lyric a come-on, and each rhythm throbbing with lust, perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and decades later it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow.

Series contrasting original genuine soul with contemporary hip-hop and neo-R&B. Tonight's show features an album spotlight on Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye 's hugely successful, seductive and sexually unhinged 1973 album featuring the US number one title track (31 in the UK charts), Come Get to This and You Sure Love to Ball.
