Try it on streaming services:
I Heard It Through The Grapevine (one of the best songs ever)
Trouble Man
Distant Lover
What's Going On
When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You (a 7 minute epic with no same lines)
Let's Get It On (supa sexy song)
I Want You (Madonna covered this)

You can hear his influences in pretty much everyone from MJ to Miguel to whoever else.
Jazmine Sullivan's ENTIRE Reality Show Album, The first 2 albums of Alicia Keys, Brandy's Full Moon, Beyoncé's 4.... these will become the modern Classics.
Mutya Kiesha Siobhan, Destiny's Child (mainly DC4), En Vogue, and Little Mix will be regarded for their Runs, Riffs, and harmonies.
^^ Thank you poster above for adding Lianne La Havas! (Chrisette Michele and India.Arie have several gems as well)
