Description: The cover shot for this four-disc box is a floating image of hands outstretched, desperate to touch "The Master"--a suggestion that might be blasphemous if this weren't Marvin Gaye, one of the most impassioned, visionary, and masterful singers who ever lived, and one who inspired intense devotion among his millions of fans.
The Master reveres Gaye with 89 selections, 32 of them hits, including classic solo recordings from "Hitch Hike" and "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" to the stunning "What's Goin' On" and "Sexual Healing," not to mention a "The Lord's Prayer" that makes clear what Master Gaye's divine voice was forever striving to reach.

Quite a collection
If you are as big a Marvin Gaye fan as I am, this is THE collection to own. Four discs of great music from probably the finest musician of our time not named Stevie Wonder. From the beginning of his career to his untimely death at the hands of his father. This is a must have. I especially enjoy the third disc, which contains "What's Going On?", 'Mercy Mercy Me", and "After The Dance".
The True Anthology Of An R&B/Soul Legend!
This is by far the most superior collection of Marvin Gaye's hits ever assembled! It has virtually every song he ever made from the beginning of his career up until his tragic death in 1984! Like most collections, it'll miss a few songs here and ther but other than that, it doesn't get much better than this!
