Catalog Number: 1000163292 Format: LP UPC: 8435395504352 For his third album, released on Motown in 1964, Marvin Gaye presented himself in the role of a big band singer. The set includes several pop and jazz standards. Gaye himself requested to sing two songs from Billie Holiday's classic album, Lady In Satin, "I'll Be Around" and "You've Changed." With brooding vocals and arrangements by such big names as Melba Liston, Jerome Richardson and Ernie Wilkins, the album showed us a deeper artist, presaging the mature Marvin later heard on Vulnerable, recorded in 1977.
