Marvin Gaye Sings National Anthem at 1983 NBA All-Star Game

by Trent Gilliss, senior editor

Do I wish this man was still with us! There’s no singer quite like him. The crowd just swoons at his rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and one can’t help but feel a bit patriotic after hearing this.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

(A heartfelt hat tip to thecarolynblog for this gem.)
