Marvin Gaye&Tammi Terrell had a Chemistry that you would swear up&down they were together in another life. there voices complimented One another so well."Your'e all I Need to get by","Ain't No Moutain high Enough","Ain't nothing like the real thing",etc... just moves the soul. these are some of the Greatest Tracks in Motown History IMO.timeless&wo greats who passed way before there time.

I had no idea before, about what lovely Marvin Gaye's songs were, till I saw the film "Stay with me", (Sarandon-Roberts)-I don't know if this is the right title in English, here in Spanish we knew it as "QUEDATE A MI LADO"-, in which the song "Ain't no mountains high enough" is performed. I loved it. And since then, I've been really interested in knowing more and more about these two fascinating singers.

ain't no mountain high enough,your'e all i need to get by.hearing those songs and the others on this disc shows the beauty of chemistry.these two voices were destiny.these songs have stood the test of time.very essential to any Soul collection.i don't think another Man&Woman could hang with them personally.they were a great duo.

This was the best CD. I love the song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" This is a good but cool CD! Take my advice and buy it you want to.

I LOVE THIS DISC. MARVIN & TAMMI'S DUETS ARE WHAT LOVE SONGS SHOULD BE LIKE. TODAYS ARTISTS SHOULD REFER THESE SONGS WHEN THEY ARE WRITING. I AM ONLY 24 BUT I AM REALLY LOVING THESE SOUL CLASSICS

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in the space of two albums packed in some of Motown's greatest treasures, both in the well-known hits and the intriguing album tracks. For the third album, with Tammi critically ill, Valerie Simpson took her vocals in a kind gesture from Motown to insure Tammi got as many royalties as possible from record sales and to keep the duo's momentum going should she be able to return to recording. It's Valerie on "Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By" and "The Onion Song." In the studio, Marvin and Tammi were known as diligent artists, hard workers who strived to make everything as inspired at possible. Their recordings without exception represent the creme of Motown achievements as they inspired each other, challenged each other and truly loved each other as only friends can. What a loss both have been, but the music lives on.

Marvin and Tammi were the greatest duo to ever grace the microphone. Past, present or future, you can only GET to the level that these two wonders achieved. Their songs were filled with so much passion and true feeling. I've never listened to a duet with Marvin where he put as much feeling into the song as he does when singing with Tammi. All fans of both artists should have this cd, as well as The Story of Tammi Terrell.

It is so sad to have lost 2 of the greatest of all time,they both had a lot of talent.Still their music lives on so therefore they live in the hearts and minds of us all never have 2 artists put together have the sound that Marvin and Tammy had they are truly missed.

These two artists were like two kindred souls who inspired every one who listened to them perform. They are truly missed , by those who can appreciate perfection in artists.

Only the good die young.

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell / Greatest Hits (Motown): This pairing was absolutely terrific. Solid Classics and precious gems have been gathered in this 12-song Motown Hits album. The only problem here is the lack of a decent booklet. Although this CD is a presentation of the original LP, there still should have been some effort put into creating at least a small booklet with a little history of this great team. However, even with that glaring error in packaging, substance overwhelms appearance in this CD and the music is all that ultimately counts here. This is an essential album.
