WASN'T LIKE MARVIN WAS GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO PUSH IT AND HE WAS ALSO SAYING GOODBYE TO MOTOWN RECORDS AT THE SAME TIME!!! The Critics didn't like it, but those who had been in/out of love understood the whole concept of this album! Since it's release this album has become a cult favorite of Marvin Gaye albums. The Key Tracks are: "I Met A Little Girl", "When Did You Stop Loving, When Did I Stop Loving You", "Everybody Needs Love", and "A Funky Space Reincarnation" a Billboard Charting Top Forty Hit Single and it is currently being played in a T.V. Commerical. Not one of Marvin's killer album, but well worth seeking out. On average the public has given this very high ratings, so that should tell you something??? THE PUBLIC HAVE SPOKEN! In 2008 somebody at Motown (Universal) felt the need to add current artists, Updated Remixes, etc. that DID NOT work too well...THE PUBLIC HAVE SPOKEN AGAIN!Read full review
I am totally and completely in love with this CD. I remember as a child my mother listening to this record (no Cd's back then)over and over and over again. At the time, I did not understand life or how things worked. My mother was divorcing my father and maybe she found solace in this music. But today, when I listen to it, it takes me back to being a little girl and hearing my mother's voice as she sang the lyrics to Marvin's songs. Thank you for selling such a great item at a wonderful price.
I love my MARVIN GAYE. CD
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
This is one of Marvin's most underrated cd's, due in part that the disc was part of the divorce settlement to his ex-wife. Understanding that, you might think it would be bitter, but it's not. It's more of him doing a reflection back on the relationship, the good, the bad, and the ugly! The music has a soothing melodic darkness, with the lyrics being introspective. At the end of the disc the mood turns upbeat, coinciding with the fact that he had found a new love. I think it's one of his top 5 studio disc.
Liked the whole Hear, My Dear cd songs are piognant,brillant @ timeless Marvin at his best. Purchased because I am a big Marvin fan an did not have this lp or cd in my colletion so I finally purchased and glad I did. I listen to this cd constantly since its arrival. An like the Whats Going On(my alltime favorite lp/cd)the songs to Hear, My Dear are deep, insightful, painful,refelctive an soulful. Sorry I waited so long to purchase this cd its brillant,if you are a music lover get this cd you will not be disappointed.
