Title Note

Though by no means a comprehensive collection, this 11-track MOTOWN LEGENDS disc assembles a handful of Marvin Gaye's best tracks. Interestingly, compiler Cary E. Mansfield has shuffled the chronological sequence, so the listener is treated to a zigzagging overview of Gaye's stylistic experiments at the famed label. The set kicks off with the politically minded, early-1970s groove of "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" from WHAT'S GOING ON, then backpedals to the pop-oriented, early-'60s R&B of "No Time for Tears."

Gaye the popster and Gaye the socially astute soul revolutionary are juxtaposed throughout, and represented by such cuts as the doo-wop-inflected "There Goes My Baby" and the smooth, funky "Ego Tripping Out," respectively. Two bonus tracks close out the set--"Trouble Man," one of Gaye's best early-'70s songs, and his energetic version of the Norman Whitfield masterpiece "Cloud Nine" (which became a sizable hit for the Temptations). This compilation, while not an ideal starting point for Gaye fans, is still a thoroughly enjoyable set.
