Vocally Luther. Musically Marvin.
Marvin Gaye is my favorite singer ever though. I was just kinda in awe watching Nas tweet about Marvin and his 2 favorite Marvin albums are the same as mine and they aren't even the usual suspects (Here, My Dear & I Want You)
I get it in to some Luther tho. -
Luther's vocal range was broader, Marvin's was still nice and smooth though. Otherwise I like Marvin over Luther.
Love him! -

I agree, but to say their vocies aren't even close smh. So Luther's in the group with Stevie and Donny Hathaway or above them vocally? -
Dam.. I thought luther woulda won this hands down!....
I dont think that there is a better male singer than luther... -
Marvin is lightyears ahead of Luther. Too many classics. Marvin had a stronger impact and influence

okay, name a Luther album more powerful than What's Goin On. Name a Luther song on the level of Inner City Blues. Or name a Luther album with more meaning and emotion than Here My Dear. Luther never went harder than Marvin did on Sexual Healing -
Not to say Luther is not a good artist; he is. Regardless, Marvin is ahead of him

That's not fair because hell there aren't too many songs in HISTORY, that is as powerful as What's going on. Let alone a song from Luther. -
Vocally.. Luther. But Marvin changed the sound of R&B. He started as a simple crooner singing Nat King Cole songs and then decided to change his whole style up with the layered vocals and socially conscious lyrics. Much greater impact on music as a whole.

Could be because Dionne sang that song originally. (Not sure when or if it was a hit tho) -
could someone approve my post??
-
Marvin conveyed raw emotion better.
-
Luther is vocally more technically inclined and uses his voice like an instrument. Marvin leans toward stylizing more.
IMO, Luter>>>Marvin as a vocalist, but not for the reason above. I can dig Marvin's vocal and voice tone more, tho.
In terms of songwriting, Marvin hands down. -

Word, it's funny just last week my mother said that Luther might be the GOAT as far as male singers. -
