"Sexual Healing," Marvin Gaye (11/6/82)
1982's final charttopper was also one of its best, the definition of comeback and the definition of brilliance combined. Everything Marvin did well, updated (tweaked, as it were) for the '80s without ever coming off as pandering; basically, it's a rework of "Let's Get It On" for '82, and thus, it's just as perfect (if not moreso). He arranged, wrote, produced, and played every note, along with his usual buttery lead vocals. This is what you find when you seek a definition of "lover's rock." Now go rock your baby all night long. A+
