Motown's ultimate love god, the complex and fascinating Marvin Gaye, is profiled in a new PBS "American Masters" documentary, "Marvin Gaye: What's Going On," that airs at 9 tonight.

"One of the most musically creative minds ever," Smokey Robinson says in the show.

Gaye's life and career epitomized the highest highs and lowest lows that befell any Motown artist. His 1968 hit "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" became the longest-running Motown No. 1 hit ever (seven weeks), and his 1971 album "What's Going On" is widely considered a masterpiece.

But Gaye led a tumultuous, drug-fueled life. His earliest family life was dysfunctional, and it played out in his death at the hands of his father, the Rev. Marvin Gay Sr., who shot him in 1984, the day before Gaye's 45th birthday.

Torn musically and personally between the pleasures of the flesh and spirituality, Gaye was a living, breathing mass of contradictions.

His handsomeness impressed every woman he met, but the singer couldn't dance "a lick," as his Motown friends laughingly recall, and as the film clips bear out.

In 1982, Gaye produced "Sexual Healing," which earned him two Grammys — his first ever.
