the soulful moods of marvin gaye

The Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye is the debut studio album by Marvin Gaye, released in 1961, and the second long-playing album (TM-221) released by Motown. The first was Hi... We're The Miracles (TM-220). It is most notable as the album that caused the first known struggle of Gaye's turbulent tenure with the label. -Wikipedia

    The studio musicians come up with nice arrangements of the material, sometimes even with hints of the punch they would bring to his later, chart-topping material.

    2018 - Formative, unexceptional, but reasonably listenable.

  • Louder Than War

    2015 - As a set, this one works as a whole; it’s a perfect overview of the development of a real soul legend and his journey from sessioneer to star in his own right.

  • Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews

    Gaye's delivery is so smooth it's virtually soulless. Most of the album is standards, and he doesn't do them justice
