Full review
I only recently bought this album and was reminded that music used to be so much better. It has all the classics on - "What's going on?", "Let's get it on", etc, and also contains a lot of duets with the likes of Diana Ross, Kim Weston ("It takes two")etc. Marvin has an incredibly soft voice at times and at others he can blow just about anyone away. His sound isn't timeless and it would be true to say he lacks song writing genius, but who needs it with a voice like that. If you're going to buy a soul C.D, make it this one.
