My Thoughts : One of the specialty of Marvin Gaye is his many duets classics ranging from his signature duet partners Tammi Terrell, follow by Diana Ross, Mary Wells, Kim Weston and Oma Page. His voice blended so well with each female artist and that compliment Gaye's voice even further. Noteworthy mention is Gaye duets with Tammi Terrell, their voices are just so pure, sincere blending like doves. With the bona fide hit, "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" from their first duet album of "United", the studio - Motown followed by 2 more duet albums "You're All I Need" and "Easy" featuring the hits "Ain't Nothing like a Real Thing" and"You're All I Need to Get By".
Kim Weston paired with Marvin to record "It Takes Two." This upbeat, joyous duet is one of Motown's finest moments. The powerful voice of Mary Wells (signature hit "My Guy") is a great counterpoint to Marvin's smooth power. "Once Upon A Time," recorded in 1964, is an interesting song with a cha-cha beat.
Overall, this album seems to be incomplete as the album miss out the signature duets "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and the album should display more duets with Diana Ross as both are reaching the peak success in their career. So having their duets will pay more tribute to the late Marvin Gaye and the legendary Diana Ross.
