Los Angeles, CA- On June 15, 2019 Congress-member Karen Bass, LA City Council President Herb Wesson, Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson and many others attended the inauguration ceremony naming the Marvin Gaye Post Office located at 3585 South Vermont Ave in Los Angeles, CA.  Marvin’s sister Zeola Gaye thanked the United States Post Office for a “post office being dedicated to him” and expressed thanks from her family to all that attended. She also celebrated her birthday on June 15… what a wonderful gift! Among the guests were Ron Brewington, VP of the Motown Alumni Association, who initiated the request for the Marvin Gaye Stamp, currently in circulation, many years ago.
