What's Going On is one of the greatest albums of all time. Top five for me for sure. Speaking of posthumous releases, Marvin Gaye's Your the Man got released not long ago:
Discogs.

"You're The Man" is a posthumous studio album by Marvin Gaye, originally intended to be released in 1972 as the follow-up to "What's Going On".
It was released on March 29, 2019, on vinyl and digital, and April 26, on CD, through Motown, Universal Music Enterprises, and Universal Music Group to celebrate what would have been Gaye's 80th birthday on April 2, 2019.
The album includes the single of the same name, as well as the intended original album in full and other songs Gaye recorded at the time.
"You're The Man" was intended as another socially conscious record like "What's Going On" (1971), but following the release of its lead single, the title track "You're The Man", Gaye cancelled its release.
This was in part due to the reception of the song, as well as the fact that Gaye's political views were different to those of Motown founder Berry Gordy. For these reasons, "You're The Man" was long considered a lost album.

I understand the sentiment. Obviously, the song that literally everyone knows was Marvin Gaye was Grapevine. And that is a great song. It's a great song by CCR. It's would be a great polka. But Marvin nailed it (of course).
If duets can count, his with Tammi Terrell of "Your Precious Love" (which I had forgotten was written by Ashford and Simpson - for whatever reason I thought that was another H-D-H song - Ashford and Simpson also wrote Ain't No Mountain High Enough), is just a great, great song. Maybe his best.
Of course, Grapevine and What's Goin' On are legendary songs for a reason.

Just recently purchased his "greatest hits". Double cd and it has about 5 or 6 good songs on it. Talk about a performer who's career benefited from him passing away.

Don't care for it.
I think he had a handful of tolerable songs during the late 60s, and that was about it.
