Millennium Collection
(previously the province of

),
The Best of Marvin Gaye, Vol. 1: The '60s
is a solid budget-line collection containing 11 of his biggest hits from the '60s, including
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine,"
"Pride and Joy,"
"Ain't That Peculiar,
"Stubborn Kind of Fellow,"
"Can I Get a Witness,"
"How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You),"
"Hitch Hike,"
and
"You're a Wonderful One."
There may be a few hits missing and serious listeners will probably like a more extensive compilation, but this is nevertheless an excellent bargain for its price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
