Few did it as wellWith the exception of Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye is probably the greatest male singer of the 20th century. His greatest hits collected here can still charm a listener's ear. From soulful love ballads to socially conscious protest songs, Marvin always had the sweetest voice and the tightest harmonies. He could seduce with the best of them, but he never stopped evolving as an artist as this collection proves. There are great love songs like "How Sweet It Is", great protest songs "What's Going On",…
With the exception of Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye is probably the greatest male singer of the 20th century. His greatest hits collected here can still charm a listener's ear. From soulful love ballads to socially conscious protest songs, Marvin always had the sweetest voice and the tightest harmonies. He could seduce with the best of them, but he never stopped evolving as an artist as this collection proves. There are great love songs like "How Sweet It Is", great protest songs "What's Going On", great spiritual songs "God Is Love", sexual come-ons "Let's Get It On" and "I Want You", and even a disco-funk number "Got To Give It Up", all displaying MArvin's wide range of talents. It's so sad that his life was cut short so tragically when he was on a comeback. We will never get to hear the wonderful music that he would have made. Every male r&b singer owes a debt to this great artist.
