They are my top favorites because I feel they are perfect tracks...., from Marvins vocals ,to the arrangement of the strings ,the performance of J.J. ,the background vocals ,the rest of the FUNK BROS and the individual production and recording.
The next group which I hold in high regard are the "ORIGINAL" VULNERABLE tracks on "The Marvin Gaye Collection" box set ,which are not the same as the tracks on "THE MASTER" box set or the CBS release of VULNERABLE. They were worked on through this period, which I assume is from the "In The Groove"/"Grapevine" album up to "WGO". That also would include the "Love Starved Heart ,Lost And Found CD , as well as tracks from CELLARFULL and MOTOWN SINGS MOTOWN CDs. I have some favorites from them...that's if we are going that deep into this subject.
It's like marv said ..........."We must approach this subject academically, hehehehehehe"
If we gonna talk bout MARVIN , then lets TALK BOUT MARVIN...................
Like the words of TTWLI , marv posted above..........written by Whifield-Strong , vocal produced by Whifield and Gaye, the strings and vocals have a combined feeling of acceptence/defeat , but life goes on ,shown again in MARVINS future production of a song written in that same period , but reworked by him later , "JUST TO KEEP YOU SATISFIED" . Accept that it's to late.......................
Marvin is deep..........there is no overview here.
