Product Reviews
A CD reissue of a 1986 Telstar album featuring various phases of Marvin Gaye's successful career from "Wherever I Lay My Hat" to "When Did You Stop Loving Me" from Hear My Dear. The album includes duets with Kim Weston, Tammi Terrell, and Diana Ross (but none with Mary Wells) and many of his significant solo hits; at 22 songs, this collection is hardly definitive of an artist who enjoyed a long, prolific career like Marvin, but it's a handy compilation for frontrunners who don't care to delve too deep into the singer's career. Only knock: none of his excellent Smokey Robinson productions made the cut. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
