Marvin Pentz Gaye III was born on November 17, 1966.

Deemed as ‘Prince of Soul’, Marvin was hugely instrumental in shaping the sound of ‘Motown’ in the 1960s. They adopted their son, Marvin III, during the late '60s. With Marvin and Nona actively involved in keeping their father's name alive in music and culture, Frankie’s presence adds another layer to the Gaye family's rich musical legacy.

The album featured hits like "I'm Overjoyed" and showcased her soulful voice, laying the foundation for her artistic identity and paying homage to her father's iconic legacy. It read, "If he were alive today, we feel he would embrace the technology available to artists and the diverse music choices and spaces accessible to fans who can stream a song at a moment’s notice,” and added, “But we also know he would be vigilant about safeguarding the artist’s rights.

While he has largely maintained a low profile, Frankie did share a deep bond with his iconic father through the music that shaped their family legacy. However, he remains committed to sharing Marvin Gaye's music and story with future generations, keeping the spirit of the "Prince of Soul" alive.

In addition to her music, Nona ventured into acting, appearing in acclaimed films such as *Ali* and *Crash*.

While Frankie has chosen to lead a more private existence compared to his siblings, he remains deeply connected to his father's music. Tune in to Grammy's YouTube channel on Sunday, March 14 for the Grammy Premiere ceremony which will start at 3 pm ET.
