Trouble Man
(more) »rank: 30167from: Motown
: :Two phenomenons of early-'70s soul--Marvin Gaye and the soundtracks of blaxploitation flicks--met on this 1972 souvenir of the violent Robert Hooks vehicle. Unlike Curtis Mayfield's concurrent Superfly, however, Gaye's record mostly fails to rise above the clichés of film music. Save for the pained, dramatic title single and a few moments of sax-and-wah-wah strutting, much of what's here fails to touch Mayfield's song suite. That's ironic, given that Gaye bookended Trouble Man with two conceptual triumphs, What's Going On and Let's Get It On. His fans, and students of the genre, won't find this a total disappointment, but with 'Trouble Man' itself available ...

: :After his departure from the Temptations, Eddie Kendricks made some key records in the transition from the smooth soul of the early '70s into disco. This disc presents kickin' long versions of the essential 'Keep on Truckin',' 'Boogie Down,' and 'Girl You Need a Change of Mind' ('I'm for women's rights, I just want equal nights'), with Kendricks's voice floating confidently over funky tracks. A few other songs here don't measure up, but those three songs assure the post-Tempts Kendricks of his place in history, and tracks like 'Goin' Up in Smoke' are fine period music. --Rickey Wright

Diana & Marvin
(more) »rank: 60772by: Diana Ross
: :In the boxing world, it's called an overmatch. This 1973 artifact found Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross plugged into tracks by a half-dozen producers (including Gaye/Tammi Terrell masterminds Ashford & Simpson, Motown stalwart Hal Davis, and Berry Gordy himself). Although Gaye would later speak disdainfully of Ross to biographer David Ritz, and his richly emotive tone indeed sometimes mixes with her piping coos like oil with water, Diana & Marvin still proves hard to resist. Gaye's restraint is a fine thing to hear, and the two get fittingly touching material in two Stylistics covers and the wonderful single 'My Mistake (Was to Love ...
