MOTOWN legend Marvin Gaye’s second wife has died at the age of 66, her family has said. Janis Hunter Gaye passed away on Saturday at her home in Rhode Island.

A cause of death has not yet been revealed. Janis, from LA, met the singer during a recording session in 1973 in Los Angeles when she was 17, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The star is believed to have penned the song “Jan” for her and the 1976 album I Want You. Music writer Michael Eric Dyson described the album as a "romantic and erotic tribute" to Janis.

Janis was on background vocals in Gaye's 1977 hit track Got To Give It Up. The pair were married from 1977 until they divorced in 1981.
