Marvin Gaye was one of Motown’s most successful recording artist. For years, he wanted to be taken more seriously as a singer of standards in the vein of Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke. However, the record label was more interested in the top-40 market and pushing him to accept the teen idol image. His album, “Moods of Marvin Gaye,” released in 1966 featured two of those teen-oriented hits. “Ain’t That Peculiar” and “I’ll Be Doggone” quickly climbed the charts. The album is worth up to $275.00 today. (Find the values for every record by Marvin Gaye in our “Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left hand column.)
