Marvin Gaye sang one of the most memorable versions of the National Anthem. I still get chill bumps.

One of my all time favorite versions of the song. I remember exactly where I was when he sang it, onboard the USS Bolster docked in Long Beach, CA. Incredible rendition, drew strong response from my fellow crew members back then. When I heard news of his death, I was devastated.
