Volume One 1961-1965

Marvin Gaye was the unequaled 'Prince Of Motown.' Today he remains as influential and exciting as ever; Rolling Stone named him one of the greatest singers of all time. Signed to the Tamla label in 1961, Marvin was first a 22-year-old crooner; with the encouragement of Motown founder Berry Gordy he emerged a bona fide hit maker with 'Stubborn Kind of Fellow' a year later. His earliest albums, originally released 1961-1965, span genres and styles, from a Nat 'King' Cole tribute to the classic singles 'Hitch Hike,' 'Pride And Joy' and 'How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You).'
