Marvin Gaye: Live in Montreux 1980 is a taped performance of singer Marvin Gaye's performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival, recorded on July 17, 1980. Gaye included this performance as part of a European tour. Gaye performs a majority of his hits from his recent disco-funk hits " Got to Give It Up" and " A Funky Space Reincarnation", to his duet hits with Tammi Terrell including " Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and " Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", in which Gaye re-interpolated the songs as a somber tribute to Terrell, who died over a decade before, to sixties Motown classics such as " I'll Be Doggone", " Ain't That Peculiar", " How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and " I Heard It through the Grapevine", to seventies standards such as " What's Going On", " Trouble Man" and " Let's Get It On". The Montreux set was later released as a CD/DVD in 2003.
