1	Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye (1983) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The title is a bit of a misnomer, as you could count up on the fingers of both hands all the early hits that aren't on this 15-track collection. But if it's latter-day Marvin you're looking for -- from "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" through tracks like "Let's Get It On" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" -- this set will fill the bill ... see all copies from $7.09! new only from $13.34!
2	Rhythm Country and Blues (1994) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting collection of duets between country and soul artists, Rhythm Country & Blues works better in theory than in practice, despite a couple of fine tracks. All Music Guide, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.72!
3	Motown (2003) more music like this by Michael McDonald Michael McDonald never disguises what his seventh solo album is: the title Motown makes it clear that this 2003 effort is a tribute to the glory days of Berry Gordy's Detroit empire. McDonald never strays too far from that thesis, occasionally dipping into the late '70s for material (he takes on Marvin Gaye's "I Want You") and sometimes choosing ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.33!
4	Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007) more music like this by Boyz II Men Three years after the all-covers Throwback -- a release that included some pleasantly surprising choices for new looks, like One Way's "Cutie Pie" and Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do for Love" -- Boyz II Men reappear not with yet another covers affair. As indicated by the title, the trio changes its focus to Motown for a set that ranges ... see all copies from $3.65! new only from $15.65!
5	Gold [Motown] (2005) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye left behind one of the greatest legacies in American pop music, a fascinating and irresistible string of chart hits and stunning album-long suites that explored the sacred/secular divide in his own soul, and by extension, the philosophical divide in the American psyche, and he did it all with grace, ease, assurance, and style. This ... see all copies from $20.78! new only from $20.78!
6	More Motown Classics Gold (2007) more music like this by Various Artists There is a certain irony that Universal Music has now devoted two entries in its mid-priced double-CD series of hits compilations called "Gold" to "Motown Classics" because, during the period under consideration, 1962-1971, despite Motown's demonstrated commercial success, company president Berry Gordy, Jr., never once submitted a recording to the ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $9.98!
7	The Very Best of Ashford & Simpson (2002) more music like this by Ashford & Simpson Rhino's 2002 release The Very Best of Ashford & Simpson comes very close to being a complete greatest hits, but it stumbles on a major point -- it only contains two songs from the group's Capitol recordings from the early '80s, including the hit "Solid." The rest is devoted to the duo's Warner recordings of the '70s. This isn't a bad thing, ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
8	The Big Chill [Deluxe Edition] (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack By combining the ten songs from the original Big Chill soundtrack album with all but one song from The Big Chill: More Songs From the Original Soundtrack; three instrumental songs from the film; and 15 classic '60s rock and soul tracks that didn't appear on either of those soundtracks (or the film itself), Hip-O managed to fashion a two-CD, 38 ... see all copies from $27.26! new only from $27.26!
9	I've Got the Music in Me (1974) more music like this by Kiki Dee see all copies from $4.99! new only from $24.79!
10	Motown 1's (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Owner of one of the deepest catalogs in music history, Motown/Universal allows very few recordings to escape the clutches of its archive. Once they're available, however, they're repackaged in endless permutations; such it was when Motown was ten years old, and such it was as the company approached its 45th anniversary. Motown 1s, a collection of ... see all copies* from $2.96! new only from $2.96!
11 view cover	Duets (1993) more music like this by Elton John see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	Motown Legends, Vol. 3 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Of the label's seemingly endless budget-priced hits collections, the Motown Legends series ranks among the best, giving consumers exactly what they want: the smash hits which defined "The Sound of Young America" during the company's heyday. Each of this third volume's 11 tracks is a true classic, and although it's difficult and more than a little ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Number 1's: Marvin Gaye (2007) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye's Number 1's, like the other Number 1's discs issued by Universal Music Distribution during early 2007, is an attractive package that would nonetheless have trouble surviving a minor spill or even a swift breeze. The disc sits in biodegradable foam, which is protected by a wraparound cardboard sleeve. In fact, the packaging might be ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $13.42!
14 view cover	The Master 1961-1984 (1995) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The average fan is better off with Anthology, which covers almost all of Marvin Gaye's true classics. But for those who want the hits and then some, and have the budget and interest to go further, this four-CD box set is an excellent retrospective of his career. The 89 tracks include all the chart hits (both on his own and with Mary Wells, Kim ... see all copies from $28.59! new only from $48.00!
15 view cover	Reflections (2006) more music like this by The Temptations Don't call it a comeback, because it sure isn't. But then again, the Temptations never went away. On the contrary, they've been quietly churning out record after record, with the quality being surprisingly high for an act with such longevity. Granted, this isn't the classic Motown lineup everyone's accustomed to hearing, as Otis Williams is the ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $3.00!
16 view cover	Jewel (1994) more music like this by Marcella Detroit see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	Original Artist Karaoke: Motown Classics - Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing (2003) more music like this by Karaoke Easily one the best and brightest of the Motown karaoke discs available, this features eight of Motown's greatest duets in vocal and instrumental form. The true treasures of these collections feature the original backing tracks straight from the Funk Brothers themselves, making this disc not only the most genuine article out there, but a must-have ... see all copies from $4.96! new only from $10.24!
18 view cover	Angels Castles Covers (2006) more music like this by Vance Gilbert A cover of a well-known song often serves as a good introduction to a lesser-known artist, and that is no less true of the opening cut on Vance Gilbert's new album, Angels Castles Covers. "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" opens an album that's mostly filled with pop and R&B covers, delivered in Gilbert's soulful, smooth vocal style and backed by ... see all copies from $10.53! new only from $13.42!
19 view cover	Amoureuse (1999) more music like this by Kiki Dee see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.34!
20 view cover	Joined Together: The Complete Studio Duets (2004) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes/The Temptations The two albums the Supremes and the Temptations did together in the late '60s might have been fun to do, and sometimes fun to hear, but certainly weren't highlights in the career of either group. If you're going to hear them at all, however, you should do so in the context of this two-CD set, which leaves no stone unturned in its presentation of ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $19.61!
21 view cover	Love Songs: Gold (2006) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc grab-bag compilation spanning several decades and genres, Hip-O's Love Songs: Gold fares well for a release that's so broad and seemingly random. It's certain that no one could possibly have a strong stomach for all 40 of the selections (let alone any given 30), and there are some very polarizing hits here, where fans and haters feel ... see all copies from $20.44! new only from $20.44!
22 view cover	Motown 40 Forever (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Motown never tires of finding ways to repackage their history, but a 40th anniversary celebration is one of the better excuses they could have for releasing another multi-disc retrospective, such as the double-disc Motown 40 Forever. Unfortunately, devoting the first disc to classic '60s hits and isolating '80s and '90s singles works against the ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $24.24!
23 view cover	The Very Best of Marvin Gaye [Motown 2001] (2001) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Frankly, there are enough different Marvin Gaye best-of compilations that are on the market, or have been on the market, that fans should be forgiven if they couldn't quite muster a great deal of enthusiasm for yet another one at the time of this release. On its own terms, this double disc is a very good survey of Gaye's most popular songs, ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $28.00!
24 view cover	Trojan Motor City Reggae [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists American R&B and soul had a huge influence on Jamaican popular music in the late 1960s, with artists like Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions, James Brown and others playing a hand through their releases on the unique development of late period ska into rocksteady. Jamaican singers and musicians were particularly taken by the material coming out ... see all copies from $23.23! new only from $23.23!
25 view cover	The Complete Duets (2001) more music like this by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Most listeners will be satisfied enough with a best-of compilation to cover the work that Gaye and Terrell did together. Those who want to hear more should make The Complete Duets their next and only subsequent stop. The two-CD collection includes everything from their three Motown duet albums, along with the previously unreleased "We'll Be ... see all copies from $28.43! new only from $28.43!
