Collecting all three
Marvin Gaye sets in Motown's digital download series into a 45-song sequence, this set is really pretty wonderful, featuring recordings from all of
Gaye's Motown phases, and it reveals again -- not that it was much of a secret -- what a singular and brilliant artist he was. Here we have the irresistible gospel-pop of "Can I Get a Witness" bumping up against the edgy foreboding of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and the searching and elegantly wise "What's Going On," and oh, everything in between is pretty good, too. It's
Marvin Gaye. It's Motown. You can't go wrong. ~ Steve Leggett
