The United States postal service announced that both Marvin Gaye and Gregory Hines will be honored on US Postage Stamps in 2019, for being two of the most celebrated men in African-American music and art.

Hines will be featured on the 42ndstamp in the Black Heritage series which is said to display a picture of the sole of his tap shoe. The image is a nod to show he reignited excitement surrounding the style of dance in the 90s.

Marvin Gaye’s stamps depicts a painting of Gaye on one side. The other side of the stamp will feature a brief write-up on Gaye’s impact in American music. In addition, the image will display a portion of a record slipping from its sleeve and the signature Music Icons series logo.
