Music reviews of The Best of Marvin Gaye (Motown Anthology Series)
Music Review: So Good
Rating: 5 Stars
This compilation gives an evolution of Marvin's music. His earlier music was more gritty and hard cutting soul like numbers and many were popish. His voice is very versatile. At some points, he sound like different artists, having not yet developed his own unique style. Eventually on the second disk his signature sound has evolved, where his voice was immediately recognizable.
DISK 1
I absolutely love the song "You." It is by far my favorite. For some reason, it touched and fed my spirit.
Disk 2
God is love. The background vocals sound very much like Curtis Mayfield. There is a Curtis feel and sound to Sad Tomorrow and You're the Man. He even did some James Brown screams in You're the Man. He has the ability to sound different on various tracks. I guess he was just gifted and versatile artist and vocalist. I call most of the tracks easy soul. You know the passion is there, but understated. It is still in the black American cultural musical tradition.
I think my favorite song is Got to Give It Up. I printed out the lyrics, because he fads in and out at some points of the song. I want to know just what he is saying.
I loved all of the tracks, including the one with Diana Ross, My Mistake.
If you value great music, lyrics and music, Marvin is for you.
Description of The Best of Marvin Gaye (Motown Anthology Series)
Balancing raw power with shades of vulnerability, Gaye rose to the top of Motown's roster without the benefit of a supporting vocal group. Whether singing love songs or social commentary, Gaye's voice displays an earnestness and sincerity that are a soul singer's most potent weapons. Among these 47 hits are his memorable duets with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, and Tammi Terrell along with Motown staples such as "Can I Get a Witness," "How Sweet It Is," "Ain't That Peculiar," and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." This 2 CD set also covers socially conscious 1970s originals such as "What's Going On," "Mercy, Mercy Me," and "Inner City Blues." Only his last hit, "Sexual Healing," is left out. --Marc GreilsamerPsychedelic Rock CDs
