To answer that question, one thing that is going on today was that a South Los Angeles Post Office was renamed after Marvin Gaye.
The former Dockweiler Post Office, located next to UCS on 3585 S. Vermont Avenue, is now called Marvin Gaye Post Office. The LA Times reported that the renaming was brought up in legislation by Representative Karen Bass.
Bass commented on the event and said, “Marvin Gaye’s music has transcended generations and gave the ’70s and ’80s a sound.”
The U.S. Postal Service also honored the late R&B singer with an official stamp in his honor.
