If James Brown is indeed the Godfather of Soul, then Marvin Gaye is surely soul music's counterpart to Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra. (Gaye in fact began his career singing Sinatra/Nat Cole-type standards.) Like Sinatra, Gaye could inhabit a song, make it his own, and transform ballads into preludes to seduction ('Your Precious Love,' 'Let's Get It On'). Unlike Sinatra, Gaye wrote many (very fine, classic R&B) songs and could get very funky ('Trouble Man').

The Marvin Gaye Collection is a nice primer to Gaye's biggest hits (including some duets with Tammi Terrell), and is sure to make you crave more.
