Marvin Gaye's 1970s recordings reflected his growing awareness of social issues--"What's Going On," "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)," "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)"--coupled with a freewheeling sexuality ("Let's Get It On," "Come Get to This," "I Want You"). On both counts, Gaye was out in front of the times, and helped shape the discussion during that turbulent time. This set does a good job of briefly limning the highlights of Gaye's '70s work; coupled with the 20th Century Masters companion volume of his '60s hits, it gives a fair if less than definitive overview of one of pop's most prolific and important hitmakers. --Daniel Durchholz

I...Think...This...Is...My...Laaaaaast...Chaaaaaance!.......2005-05-17

All the other 10 songs I've heard 100 times already but "My Last Chance", Marvin's obscure 1972 recording that was a posthomuous 1991 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart (peaking at #16), is enough to want to buy this compilation. The song alone garners four stars. It's Marvin Gaye, dammit. LOL

There are better compilations for the money.......2001-11-08

The songs here all great examples of Marvin Gaye's later material. Unfortunately there are other single and double disc compilations that include more later material and some of his fantastic early recordings as well. For the money, buy a copy of the 2001 "Very Best of" double CD which contains the best of his Motown recordings as well as music released on Columbia in the later years. The songs here are great but will leave you wanting more (there's no "Sexual Healing"). Save a few bucks more and buy the "Very Best Of" new or used. You can build your collection from there.

A Great Introduction.......2000-06-09

if You Don't Have these Songs then this is a Great Introduction.Marvin Gaye is One Of The Greatest Artists Ever.His Material Speaks Of Genius.What's Going On,Mercy Mercy Me,Inner City Blues,Trouble Man,Distant Lover Live has So Much Soul&Feeling.His Work Says So Much.A Great Introduction too this Musical GIANT&LEGEND.VERY ESSENTIAL.

Good Sampler, But It Makes Me Wanna Holla..........2000-04-13

...it has MPG's masterworks, "What's Goin' On", "Trouble Man", "Let's Get It On", "I Want You" and a treat in the Marvin & Diana cut "You're A Special Part of Me", but they were done in a compilation somewheres already and done better. Good for the 1st time Marv fan, but other than that stick to the Original albums produced by Motown and Columbia records.
