Excellent!
One of the greatest CD's to purchase to bring back memories of the 60's. Needs to be in every music lovers library. Excellent!

Great introduction to the Man and his Music....................
Yeah it's missing some of the other great songs from Marvin. That means go buy the album that contains the other hits.

Marvelous Marvin
The name Marvin Gaye says it all. They don't call him Marvelous Marvin for nothing. Truly one of the most gifted vocalists-performers of all time - an excellent compilation.
This CD is loaded with great tunes and I can't think of anyone who can match Marvin's song list. It's long, wide and deep. An incredibly talented man. I Want You, Ain't That Peculiar, Inner City Blues and Trouble Man really stand out for me - these songs are quite unusual and really stand the test of time and I can't imagine anyone even trying to do it like him.
You can't say enough about him.

a cd collection item
I Love this cd. Since im only 21 I don't really know anything about marvin gaye but from what people and parents tell me, until now. I brought this cd and WOW this has shown me a lot about Marvin Gaye and though out his life. I think that this is my favorite cd I have in my collection.I Love every song on here. I can't say which songs its missing to have it even more complete but its fine the way it is.I would recommend this cd to my age so they can learn about real soul music. For me it wasnt just about buying it to listen to, it was about my history. I feel that not only can you go to the library, watch the history channel, but i also can just push play on my stereo. I really listen to this cd and envy all the people that witness his performance when he was alive. my favorite song on here to me is the where are we going. I won't break down every song cause i believe that if a person like marvin gaye then they would like it anyway. listening to this cd he is my favorite artist, not rkelly, and not usher. I think this cd should be in everyone randb collection.

Uneven...could've been one disc.
This comp features soaring highs and really low lows. Take the first disc: Stubborn Kind of Fella, Hitch Hike, How Sweet It Is, I'll Be Doggone, Ain't That Peculiar, It Takes Two, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing, Ain't No Duet Without Ain't In It's Name (Okay, I made that up), I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Too Busy Thinking 'Bout My Baby are all very strong numbers. However, they are countered by What Were They Thinking?-type songs. For all practical purposes (I love saying that!), Pride and Joy and Wonderful One are the same song. A couple of the duets do nothing for me, and a few of the orchestrated songs are just blah. The second disc is the same way...classics What's Going On, Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues (my favorite track), Trouble Man, Let's Get It On and Got to Give It Up are met with...You're the Man? Ego Tripping Out? Come Get to This? I Want You? PRAISE??? In spite of this lack of balance, it's still a good comp, it just could've been made into one disc.
