• MARV GAYE - WHAT'S GOG ON - DETROIT MIX

MARV GAYE - COLLECTED

Marv Gaye's sublime and transcennt album, What's Gog On, had a mil style and pth of feelg that lifted up to the hight level of pop and soul releas and ma unpyable even by Gaye himself, who was smart enough not to try. It seems to float, practilly lumo a sea of ngas and percsn, talkg and strgs, saxophone and multi-tracked Gaye and background sgers a nstantly changg mix that bursts wh energy like life self.

It's as relevant today as ever was though sad to say, I believe tim are even worse now than they were when the album was big surprise was that was Marv Gaye who ma . Gaye was Motown's superstar solo act who had had a h filled reer sce Stubborn Kd of Fella 1962.

The real Marv Gaye was aware of the time which he lived, a time that had left the sunny early 60's behd and which had bee turbulent and torn by a multu of problems: the Vietnam War and s protts, the unterculture, life the ghetto, dgs and the only recent realizatn that the natural environment was beg stroyed a way no one had spected. I thk that her ath, on top of everythg else really shook Marv Gaye and ma him realize he uldn't put out another happy, bouncy Motown album as he always song me om Obie Benson the ep voice of the Four Tops who -wrote wh Motown hoe songwrer Al Cleveland.

marv gaye greatt hs cd. At first glance, you might thk the box held LPs bee is twelve ch by twelve ch, but si are four credible CDs and a wonrful booklet full of great pictur and tons of rmatn on the life and reer of the great Marv Gaye. Sure, many of Marv's biggt hs are clud here, but this llectn's subtle is Rare, Live, and Unreleased, and The Marv Gaye Collectn tly liv up to s One, 20 Top 20s, ntas all of Marv's Top 20 hs (not cludg duets) chronologil orr, om 1962's Stubborn Kd of Fellow to 1982's Sexual Healg.

All six of the Gaye-Terrell rerdgs you fd here are immediately regnizable (and well worth listg dividually here): A't No Mounta High Enough, Your Prec Love, If I Could Build My Whole World Around You, If This World Were Me, A't Nothg Like the Real Thg, and You're All I Need to Get By.

The fal seven tracks e om the late 1970s and Marv's then-unreleased album Vulnerable, and they basilly refe the very ncept of the ballad: Why Did I Choose You, She Needs Me, Funny, This Will Make You Lgh, The Shadow of Your Se, I Wish I Didn't Love You So, and I Won't Cry you have : 81 unfettable tracks (34 of them prevly unreleased) nvassg pop, rock, blu, ballads, duets, funk, and other styl of mic Marv Gaye pursued and mastered. Reviewed the Uned Stat on October 31, 2022I orred this knowg the name Marv Gaye, and a few of his songs but not much about his entire disgraphy.

After a uple play throughs of this, I’ve e to appreciate Marv Gaye much more, and started explorg his album sampl om across his reer, and you n hear the evolutn over time.

I thk this is a great choice for someone that isn’t sure necsarily where to start and wants a Marv Gaye 101 album. Marv Gaye sets the mood every time and his sound recreate an image of Marv’s Room.

Towards the end Gaye gets back his love groove, but way ls nocent.
