Marvin Gaye At His Best

"Quite frankly, "Moods of Marvin Gaye" is one of the greatest albums Marvin ever put out. It is simply incredible to hear these Sinatra like songs. The music is excellent, and Marvin's voice sounds golden. My personal favorite tracks are number 7, "Night Life," number 11, "I Worry `Bout You," and number 12, "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)." These are songs that can instantly set the mood in any nightclub. The sound is reminiscent of that of the 1920's. Imagine yourself during the Harlem Renaissance at an exclusive club, sipping on your favorite drink, and listening to the band. As the band plays on, you admire people in their pinstriped suits and sultry dresses. Through the cloud of cigarette smoke, you see a well dressed man walking up to the RCA 44 Ribbon Style Microphone, and as he begins to sing, the crowd is breath taken. That man is Marvin Gaye, and this is a classic album.What's even better is that you get the album "In The Groove" as a bonus! You can't beat that with a bat! Get this album right away!"
