Here’s a good debate topic: Marvin Gaye vs Sam Cooke. Personally, I think Sam Cooke was better.

Sam Cooke for me too. Though, I’ll give Marvin credit for being a great producer, though with Sam’s career cut short, we can’t really say if he would have branched out into that or not.
This is probably my favorite Sam Cooke tune (with Lou Rawls doing the backup vocals):
