This compilation includes 15 of Marvin Gaye's signature songs, including 9 No. 1 soul-chart hits. It's a handy compression of his Motown career, but those who want a deeper understanding of the artist should opt at the very least for the packed double-disc Best of Marvin Gaye. --Rickey Wright

PRODUCT CAME UNBLEMISHED AND IN GREAT SHAPE. DELIVERY WAS TIMELY. VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE.

This CD arrived broken into seven pieces. Interesting, since it's very hard to break a CD.

The irruption of the soul in the middle sixties, was the final result of a long wait. Chronological and sociologically it seems to coincide with the tragic end of Martin Luther King, but there's much to say. The black people lacked of a musical flag, a genre that conveyed their special contour. After the first generation of rock in the middle fifties, came the arousing of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The British Rock, the summer songs and the emerging of a genius of the guitar Jimmy Hendrix. On the other hand, the Latin Jazz (Carl Tjader, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Dave Valentin) had been growing at exponential rate and the classic Jazz was tied to a far tradition that expressed those memories and unsaid livings, but this generation was over the thirties and the young generation just didn't feel represented themselves with Parker, Ellington, Bassie, Webster, Coltrane, Mingus, Montgomery, Davis, Peterson or Satchmo, faithful Ambassadors of the Post War generation. They needed the appearing of a dancing movement capable to compete with the commercial tendencies by then. Under these circumstances, the soul emerged by an almost imperative genetic that was being expected; this new musical expression became for the black people the materialization and concretion of their own urban poetry, a true fire exit - if I may - to drag and share in those friendly meetings.
The great beginnings belonged to enthusiastic and unforgettable ensembles such as the Supremes, ... Read More

Before I ordered it, I listened to the sample of each song! The songs brought back so many wonderful memories! As soon as the mail carrier left it in my mailbox, I torn open the package and began listening! The quality is excellent, I am very pleased with the product!

Isn't funny that my favorite track on cd 1, I had never heard of before?
"You" speaks to my spirit, and touches me emotionally. It is my favorite, and I even found the lyrics so I can read and sing along while listening. I play this track over and over. It makes me feel like I am in the church about to catch the spirit. It is so uplifting, Marvin's interpretation. There is a Temptation feel to this song, a David Ruffinish sound.
I feel that on cd one, Marvin was in the process of evolving into his signature sound. I feel that cd 2 is where he evolved and where he established his true voice. These songs I feel are spiritually based, in that they touch the spirit.
You
You WHOOO You, you I see in my mirror in the mornin'
Instead of seein' me
I see you, I see your face
And inside me is a growing need for your embrace
In the light of day, though our faces meet
Someone there might see so we never speak
Till the dark of night, while the moon is new
When we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous
Though it's wrong I know, girl I love you so
Yes I need you, I need you baby
Oh you, my sweetest joy
You can't afford the best of life
I'm just a hard workin' boy
Oh you've given your love to me
Girl, I can't let you hurt yourself by being seen with me
We're worlds apart, so close yet worlds apart
So we must hide the love we're feelin' ... Read More
