Soul superstar Marvin Gaye wrote his last hit, "Sexual Healing," in 1981 while living in Ostend. His residency is marked by a wildly tacky statue of the singer playing a golden piano. To see it, peep inside the convention center of Ostend’s bold 1950s landmark, the Kursaal, now home to Ostend's popular Casino.
