The Very Best of Marvin Gaye in Bloomington, MN

This is a stripped-down (there is no CD booklet) reissue of
Motown
's 1986
Marvin Gaye
release of the same title, which in turn was a CD issue of the
Telstar
LP set. As a single-disc collection it's decent, but hardly the end all of
compilations, although it does include
Gaye
's masterful 1982
Columbia Records
hit
"Sexual Healing"
along with classic
hits from various stages of his career like
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
and
"What's Going On,"
and several of his duets with
Tammi Terrell
. For a greatest-hits type anthology, though, there's a fair amount of lesser tracks and filler here, and better collections are easily available. ~ Steve Leggett
