Marv Gaye uld have sung somebody’s Power Pot prentatn and would still have sound like a love song torn om the pths of his soul, so llectns like this one, which feature several of his greatt sgl, n’t really miss. It’s Marv Gaye -- and there are classics here like “Let’s Get It On, ” “You’re a Wonrful One, ” “I Heard It Through the Grapeve” and ’s equally imprsive siblg “That’s the Way Love Is, ” and the magnificent and elegant “What’s Gog On.

” What mak this two-disc set feel a ltle more hive and plete than most on the market is the prence of not jt his early- and middle-reer Motown releas, but his later work as well; for stance, Gaye’s brilliant Top Ten swan song, “Sexual Healg” om 1982 and his twilight stay at Columbia Rerds, is also clud here.

TOP 10 MARV GAYE SONGS

There are some thgs one uld argue for cln -- “A’t That Peculiar” and “Trouble Man” are jt two sis that e immediately to md -- but the miracle that was Marv Gaye wh a love song through loud and clear. While the other two artists mentned above make harr to make any absolute claims about their imaged futur, I thk ’s a ltle easier to image that Gaye would have found a way to thrive even while his peers were phed to mercial rndancy or started makg mic that felt beneath their abili.

Gaye is one of the few Motown artists who me up through the ranks of that label’s star-makg system and ntued to evolve wh the tim up until his untimely ath one day shy of his 45th birthday. After some dabblgs doo-wop early on, Gaye posned himself as a crooner of pop standards like “My Funny Valente” and “How High The Moon, ” before quickly embracg the new sound of R&B and soul.

If there’s any posive to be found amid all the legal clamor regardg the siari between “Got To Give It Up” and Rob Thicke’s “Blurred L, ” ’s that ’s great to see Marv Gaye’s mic is still fluencg today’s artists and producers.

An equally paful parture, and one that was perhaps more vastatg nsirg she was only 24 at the time of her passg, was Gaye’s equent duet partner Tammi Terrell. As fantastic as the two were on their own (and as Gaye was the pany of other female sgers like Mary Wells and Kim Wton), they seemed to brg somethg extra out of one another. Each was spired by what they heard and saw the other — Terrell’s mand of a stage, Gaye’s knee-bucklg voice — and beme the clost of iends.

As part of the proceedgs surroundg his divorce om his first wife Anna Gordy, Gaye agreed to give half of the money he would earn om his next album to his ex. Great as the whole thg is, the apex is this nearly eight-mute track that balanc his raw anger and rignatn at his ex draggg him through a nasty urt fight wh one of his more sensual vol performanc and a steamy backg track that ces three mut to a duet between Fernando Harkns’ tenor sax and Gaye’s Moog reports. Gaye had yet to really start wrg songs, or at least start wrg songs that me om ep wh his person (sorry, “Hey Diddle Diddle”) by the time he rerd this.

The origal is all punch and fire, but spired by the succs a few years earlier of “I Heard It Through The Grapeve, ” Gaye and the Funk Brothers turn to the soulful show of support that songwrers Barrett Strong and Norman Whfield exprsed their lyrics. But ’s a great showse for all of Gaye’s imprsive vol skills, lettg him growl and croon while reassurg all of that he’s had his heart broken a few too many tim.

No song better pass the baton om Gaye’s ’60s swgg R&B era to the unbridled Aocentric/bodycentric funk/soul of the next than this track om Let’s Get It On.

If Gaye would have rerd six years or more earlier, also would have lacked that tone of speratn and angst that he brgs to his performance.

Try as they might, no other volist uld be those two sensibili as Gaye do here, brgg to life the guy that you wanted to brg home to meet mom and then sneak off to the bathroom for a quickie before dner is served.

Wh all that activism the air, ’s no wonr that Gaye wanted to addrs those same ncerns as part of a song cycle that explored what he saw as a broken and bleedg untry.

Wrten by Whfield and Strong, “Grapeve” was rerd twice 1967: first by Gaye and later wh a funkier arrangement by Gladys Knight & The Pips.
