The U.S. Postal Service also issued a stamp in his honor back in April.
The Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter - who was nicknamed the "Prince of Motown" - skyrocketed to fame with hits like "What's Going On", "Let's Get It On", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and "Heard It Through the Grapevine."

Gaye was shot and killed by his father after intervening in a fight between his parents in 1984.
