Description: Marvin Gaye sparked so convincingly with his singing partners that some listeners still believe he and platonic friend Tammi Terrell had a romantic relationship both on and off their records. So this collection is a natural, hanging together through a half-dozen partners and several production styles and eras. (Note: the Gaye-Betty Wright "duet" on "Distant Lover" is a mid-'90s trick of technology, no doubt well meant but tacky in sound quality at the very least.) The Marvin-and-Tammi tracks, including a looser alternate take of the fab "Keep On Lovin' Me Honey," are the highest points, but some less celebrated gems also stand out. "After the Lights Go Down Low," with Mary Wells, is a ballad that outclasses the two sides of their single included here, while "I Want You 'Round" is a worthy confection for Gaye and Kim Weston. Finally, while 1973's Diana and Marvin LP was a somewhat slight, mercenary effort, the rare alternate of "Pledging My Love" that closes this set is sweet. --Rickey Wright

Reviews:

It Takes Two

Marvin Gaye may be the greatest voice of Soul music. This CD provides an interesting if limited selection of his duets with several of his Motown female colleagues.

Philadelphian Tammi Terrell had a beautiful, soulful voice that blended perfectly with Marvin Gaye's voice. "You're All I Need To Get By" is a truly gorgeous song, filled with love, longing, and soul at its finest. The song has a remarkable pulse and energy; both singers shine and soar. Tammi's life was tragically cut short; she died of brain cancer at the age of 24.

Kim Weston paired with Marvin to record one of my all time favorite songs- "It Takes Two." This upbeat, joyous duet is one of Motown's finest moments. When Marvin and Kim harmonize, without words, their "oohs" are sheer magic.

The powerful voice of Mary Wells (famous for "My Guy") is a great counterpoint to Marvin's smooth power. "Once Upon A Time," recorded in 1964, is an interesting song with a cha-cha beat.

If you are not familiar with Marvin's duets, this CD is a good place to start. I also suggest the CDs Marvin Gaye & His Girls; The Complete Duets (Marvin & Tammi); Together/Take Two (Marvin & Kim); and Diana & Marvin.

Really Good Collection

one of the things that is forgotten about Marvin Gaye is His Many Duet Classics.His Voice blended so well with His Many Duet Partners.Tammi Terrell&Marvin were so SOulful&Balanced each other out so well.this is a Really Good Reminder of the many sides too Marvin's All-Around Talents.enjoy.
