* MemeticMutation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54LgyqSPfsQ "Let's Get It On"]] has become ''the'' stock BowChickaWowWow tune in the popular consciousness, particularly the opening pedal guitar part. If you don't hear [[Music/GeorgeMichael "Careless Whisper"]] being played as part of a sex joke, usually it's "Let's Get It On". And this one’s more appropriate, too.

Moved the "Executive Meddling" entry to the Trivia page.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Happened with ''In Our Lifetime'': the album was originally slated to be released in 1979 as a disco-styled album called ''Love Man'', however, after a production plagued by his collapsing second marriage, debts with the IRS, and cocaine addiction, Gaye shelved the album and later on, went back to rework the album, spending most of 1980 doing so, but Motown eventually got hold of the album's master tapes, and with the album over a year behind schedule, made their own revisions to it, unbeknownst to Gaye, who was still remixing and editing the album, and released it in early 1981. The subsequent fallout ended Gaye's relationship with Motown.

** From ''Music/WhatsGoingOn'': "Father, father, we don't need to escalate / You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate". Considering that Gaye's father shot and killed him after years of personal tensions between the two and Gaye's increasing DeathSeeker behavior, it's fair to say that he ''violently'' disagreed with this statement.
** There's also "Don't go and talk about my father, 'cause God is my friend" from "God Is Love". And the almost whispered "Mercy, Father" mixed subtly underneath the main vocal lines of "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)". And probably others.
