Customer Reviews The Greatest Soul Singer This is an amazing live album definitely worth buying (if you're a true Marvin Gaye fan). What can I say, Marvin is the best of the best hands down. No one compares to his amazing talent. He may be gone but his sensual and soulful music will live on and continue to impact us forever! . Marvin's best live collection to date Marvin Gaye again (you know I had to do it). Again, it's your boy Tim, on the 411 about Mr. . . I was meaning to post something about this great live album some time ago but didn't get a chance to and now that I got a chance to, lemme just say that if it came to great live albums, Marvin definitely gets an A+ for his accomplishments in 1977's "Live at the London Palladium". Recorded during a tour at the Palladium at London in 1976, a 37-year-old Marvin reportedly still a victim of stage fright managed to make the most confident performer seem chummy and tame. Marvin's emotions always take over in anything he does - be it on a song or on an album or live onstage, where he was considered to be one of the greatest live performers of his generation. Is there no question why? It's a shame though because people always look up to Michael Jackson for his stage dynamics and yet he always rely on "The Moonwalk" or any dance move so he can't sing. Marvin was definitely the anthesis (sp?) of all of that. Unlike Ashlee Simpson and Lindsey Lohan and other "lip-synchers" out there, Marvin Gaye was an actual SINGER. He didn't have to rely on no back track to prove he was GREAT. And back then if you couldn't sing to save your life, you would be yanked off the stage so how come they're not doing it now? And it's another shame that this album or any other Marvin Gaye album pre-1982 didn't get Grammy recognition! Again, it goes to show you how critics can be so shady. Anyway, Marvin shines through this emotionally-charged performance. Whether he turns it out in "Let's Get It On" or he takes us on a trip down memory lane on some joints back in the '60s or if he lets us remember how great "What's Going On" was or his great period of making duets or the fabulous show-stopping rendition of "Distant Lover", you know that no other artist in soul or pop music or rock music can come close to his magic. And just when he's done, he comes even harder with "Got to Give It Up". Off the record, it's one of the greatest dance/funk records of all time. Without this joint, Michael Jackson's adult solo career probably wouldn't have happened (i. e. , "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", "Shake Your Body Down to the Ground"). . . and it wasn't just James or Sammy who gave Michael a little help. Marvin needs his respect, y'all. AMAZING misguidedproduction. ANOTHER AMAZING CD OF MARVIN'S LOOK FOR MY DOCUMENTARY "AIN'T THAT PECULIAR" THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARVIN GAYE www. com. .
