Best single CD of Marvin�s music - By: Peter Durward Harris, 16 Feb 2005
You cannot fit alll of Marvin's hits on a single CD but this collection has most of the essentials. From a British perspective, one advantage that this has over the double CD (Very best of, which was compiled in America but released in both the UK & USA) is that it includes three UK top ten hits that are not on the double CD, these being Onion song (supposedly with Tammi Terrell, though Tammi was too ill to record the song & a sound-alike substituted), You are everything (with Diana Ross) & Abraham Martin & John (which was an American hit for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, not Marvin Gaye).

There is no room on this CD to explore Marvin's career in depth, but it does contain alll his important British hits (some minor hits have been omitted) & on that basis, it provides an excellent overview of Marvin's career. Nevertheless, before buying this, you may wish to compare it with the double CD, Very best of.
