Marvin Gaye - Legend Live & Forever - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Blessed with a mellifluous tenor and a three-octave vocal range, Marvin Gaye was one of the most consistent and enigmatic of the Motown hitmakers, with a career that exemplified the maturation of soul and black pop into a sophisticated form spanning social and sexual politics. This quintessential collector's edition contains Gaye's long time unavailable and magnificent debut album for the Tamla tag, the Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye (1961). in addition, we have included 3 bonus tracks consisting of hard to find sides from his early years joining R&B groups such as the Marquees and Harvey & the Moonglows. It serves as the best introduction for anyone wanting to explore his first steps. This is the material upon which Marvin Gaye's soul kingdom and unique personal style were built. Soul Jam Records.

The inclusion of Marvin's final hit single, 1982's InchSexual Healing, Inch places it at the end of his tragically shortened life, recorded in late 1983. The irony of Marvin's death on April 1, 1984, is that after nearly a decade of personal problems, substance abuse and other difficulties, 1982's MIDNIGHT LOVE captured him once again at the height of his immense talent. Similarly, this all-hits program finds Marvin in exquisite voice, finding new and intriguing dimensions in songs from every part of his two-decades-plus career, from InchAin't Nothing Like the Real ThingInch through InchWhat's Goin' OnInch and InchInner City BluesInch to InchLet's Get It OnInch and InchGot To Give It Up - Pts.
