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

Life Is Ironic at Times May 19, 2008
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' in our hearts
We meet in shadows, your friends must never know
That we are lovers, darlin'
Alhough it hurts me so, for your sake no one must see
The precious love you're givin' me
But you know, I need you baby
One day I'll make the break, my lucky star willshine.
I can tell the world that you are mine, all mine
Till then we must go on the way we have before
And never let it show we love each other so.
I'll never one-way track 'cause there's no turnin' back
Oh I need you baby
(repeat verse 1 and fade)
I highly recommend is like excellent vocals, lyrics and live instrumentation.
Great memories May 15, 2008
I received the Margin Gaye cd in just a couple of days, which was great. This cd is awesome, it includes songs with Tammy Terell as well. I highly recommend it. I grew up listening to Marvin Gaye and listening to this cd brought back great family memories!

The Most Overlooked Artist November 27, 2007
Marvin Gaye is the most overlooked Grammy Award Winner of our time...He Marvin Gaye was awared a Grammy for Sexual Healing, just before his untimely demise. "How Sweet It Is", "Your Precious Love", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Let's Get It On", "Distant Lover". "Got To Give It Up" and "What's Going On" the album and title song should have been awarded Grammys. Why did the Grammys overlook Marvin is beyond me. Not only was Marvin a talented singer, he also was an extremely gifted writed and drummer.
If you are a Marvin Gaye admirer, this is the CD to purchase without a doubt!!!
