Honoring DC's own Marvin Gaye
Did you know the prince of soul is from the district?! That’s right, Marvin Gaye hailed from the District of Columbia. The legendary singer who helped shape the sounds of Motown would have been 80 years old last week. In honor of his birthday, Gaye was immortalized on a commemorative USPS postage stamp.
