Marvin Gaye

Super-popular soul singer was apparently frightened of dancing. But he recorded a kind of Motown disco theme, "Got to give it up", in 1977. Dig that groovy bassline. Also listen for the slower and funkier "Funky space reincarnation".

His classic disco-groove "I want you" was covered by Gato Barbieri.
