m.m thanks for posting (is thats right) all that you have .came on looking for something else but cant thank you enough after coming across this.marvin gaye could never be a crooner .why be a crooner when he was already a magician.old cliche but marvin could sing the phone book.many thanks
thanks for putting me up on game, MotownMaster. Never heard this or knew the backstory on MG. I have the Diana Krall versiona and love the Billie Holiday version of this song. How Deep Is The Ocean? How High Is the Sky? :0)
I've wanted to hear Marvin crooning since I learned of his intention of being a crooner and this is gorgeous. He would've been a magnificent crooner, if his career hadn't have been shifted to the path that we of it today:)
If you find the original copy of Marvin Gaye's first LP, it was on Tamla 221 with the overlapping globe & record (not the side-by-side one when it was first introduced around 1963 until 1968). It was later reissued as Natural Resources 4007-T1 in 1978. It is indeed a reissue.
If you know about the Motown reissues, Natural Resources went though a number of changes over the years. It was first introduced in 1972 and it was short-lived until 1973 where they released a series of albums that didn't do well. Three years later, they went back again to released "Wine, Women & Song" by Gaylord & Holiday in 1976. This was the only LP for that label. And finally 2 years later in 1978, they released a series of reissues of original Motown LP's and compilations.

From what I think I know Marvin's first album was a tribute to Nat King Cole, I own a copy it's real good, great version of Nature Boy.

I've seen more of your vids and you seem to know a lot about this subject so I trust you're right and this is Marvin's first album.
Borrachon 2 years ago
@Borrachon His first album is 'The Soulful Moods OF Marvin Gaye' (1961). The tribute album to Nat 'King' Cole was from 1965.

Is that LP a reissue of the original Tamla LP? I guess it was on the Natural Resources label.

It is a reissue. MM says its not an original LP in the beginning of the video clip
