Very Happy!
There were two songs by him that I didn't own, and now that I own them my collection is complete. I've always been a Marvin Gaye fan. .


Nice compilation of a soul legend!
That song along with the live version of the "Star Spangled Banner" from the 1983 Nba all star game should be on at least two greatest hits collections. These without a doubt are some classic recordings by Marvin, but the only reason i can possibly see me or anyone else copping this greatest hits collection would be strictly for the title song "My last Chance", due to the fact that it does not exist on any other of his greatest hits or anthology collections, which i think is somewhat sad. .


I...Think...This...Is...My...Laaaaaast...Chaaaaaance!
The song alone garners four stars. All the other 10 songs I've heard 100 times already but "My Last Chance", Marvin's obscure 1972 recording that was a posthomuous 1991 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart (peaking at #16), is enough to want to buy this compilation. It's Marvin Gaye, dammit. LOL.


There are better compilations for the money
Unfortunately there are other single and double disc compilations that include more later material and some of his fantastic early recordings as well. The songs here all great examples of Marvin Gaye's later material. For the money, buy a copy of the 2001 "Very Best of" double CD which contains the best of his Motown recordings as well as music released on Columbia in the later years. The songs here are great but will leave you wanting more (there's no "Sexual Healing"). Save a few bucks more and buy the "Very Best Of" new or used. You can build your collection from there.


A Great Introduction
Marvin Gaye is One Of The Greatest Artists Ever. if You Don't Have these Songs then this is a Great Introduction. His Material Speaks Of Genius. What's Going On,Mercy Mercy Me,Inner City Blues,Trouble Man,Distant Lover Live has So Much Soul&Feeling. His Work Says So Much. A Great Introduction too this Musical GIANT&LEGEND. VERY ESSENTIAL.
