Unreal, Jazzy, Perfect.

"I usually consider myself a Jazz/Rock head, carefully avoiding any unnecessary contact with R&B and soul music - Erykah Badu was the only exception prior my encounter with this fantastic record which really has pushed my musical awareness towards soul town. This is one of those rare pieces of music where you can listen to every number on it again and again and just feel in touch with life, the artist and generally complete.
Every composition has a dreamy timeless jazzy feel, very unlike the Marvin the radio usually plays and I am beyond baffled as to why I had to pick this CD up second hand - one would think that record people should know true art when they encounter it and release it for the rest of us to enjoy. I usually write my favorite tracks in a Amazon review but I am gonna skip this, because I simply love the entire record, it goes perfectly for a home evening, with a Gin/Tonic, a nice girl and a couple of candles. Enough said."
BRILLIANT!!

"It's a wonder why this wasn't released while Marvin was still here, even though this was first recorded in the late 60s/early 70s! Marvin truly shines on these standards...highlights from this release are SHE NEEDS ME, I WISH I DIDN'T LOVE YOU SO, and WHY DID I CHOOSE YOU. Don't over look this...this packaging is great!"
