"The pairing of Motown's superstar Marvin Gaye with the little known Tammi Terrell during the late 1960s was nothing less than a stroke of genius! Since their first recording of the Ashford & Simpson classic "Ain't No Mountian High Enough" in 1967; nearly every single they recorded was a top-ten hit on the Pop or R&B charts during the late 60s. Every one of those hits are contained in here this CD. Their vocals are so in synch with each other, steeped with such real love, passion and desire; you would swear they were truly in love with each other (this was discounted by Gaye and Terrell). Previous to Terrell, Gaye had recorded with singers Kim Weston and Mary Wells, but none could touch Tammi's unique vocal gifts. I would highly recommend this CD to those who loved Marvin. I would dare say they were the best soul-singing duo of the 20th century. Therefore. it's befitting their work would received the distinction of being included in the Millennimum Collection Series."

OUTSTANDING!!!

"Out of all duets I have been hearing, the best one I love is, of course, the late greats Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell. "Your Precious Love" is so sexy & sensual to slow dance to. Also, if you need something to up-lift your emotions & spirits, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "You're All I Need To Get By," & "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" are those choices. To Luther Vandross & Cheryl Lynn, I still love y'all, but Marvin & Tammi's version of "If This World Were Mine" is what I call a classic. It's so sad that Tammi Terrell passed on at young age of 24 of brain tumor---just 14 years before Marvin Gaye would reunite her in soul heaven. FACT: Did y'all know that Valerie Simpson (who co-wrote these songs with hubby Nick Ashford) filled in for Tammi on "Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By?" Even I had no idea. So if you're into romancing with your loved one, please buy this CD. Big up 2 Marvin & Tammi! God bless y'all!!"

"...and I've got to do this quickly before 'mistermaxxx' copies me like he always does...be original thinking. This Marvin and Tammi collection has all the hits..."Ain't No Mountain High..", "Your Precious Love", "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", it also have rarities like "If I Can Build My World Around You" and it sounds so good because of recent state-of-the-art remastering. I figure you don't have to be told what 'Legends' or 'Genius' this duo is to enjoy their classic sound...I'll leave that assignment to another reviewer..."
