Marvin Gaye takes the top honor this week receiving the most points. His 56.5 points on 12 votes was enough to position him in the 16th place on The Top Artists Of All Time leader board. Gaye had high vote placements with 3 first place votes and 6 second place votes. Second place was tight with Stevie Wonder edging out Michael Jackson by half a point. Wonder and Jackson also each received three first place votes between them. Only 2.5 points separated the 4th through 7th place positions. Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Al Green and The Temptations all received several votes and very respectable point totals to move ahead. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles got 5 votes and enough points to finish comfortably in the 8 spot ahead of The Jackson 5 and Tina Turner.
