I agree that the album Trouble Man should be included. It's a soundtrack, but all the songs are by Marvin Gaye.

I was not going to include "You're the Man" and "Vulnerable" since every song on them has been previously released on different compilations but finally I've included them because of their status of "lost albums."



Albums:
(ineligible albums in cursive)

1. What's Going On (1971, my #14 album of all-time)
Marvin struggled hard to gain his own creative control inside the iron fist of Motown but doing that he expanded notably the horizons of soul music. The social issues were no longer forbidden for black artists, white-rock artefacts like concept albums were allowed and the production handled by the artist himself rendered a highly sophisticated jazz-funk sound. The naïve but still relevant album message still would be nothing without the smooth, silky and elegant music that delicately envelops it. Art soul.

2. Let's Get It On (1973)
After the socially-conscious album Marvin Gaye made the sexually-conscious album. The sounds of the sexual revolution.

3. Here, My Dear (1978)
An uncomfortable honesty and a wide range of emotions, from anger to hope, from nastiness to regret. The sounds of divorce.

4. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell — United (1967)
Before gaining his independence Marvin participated on these (impeccable) factory products. The sounds of the young America.

5. Midnight Love (1982)
After two good but unsuccessful confessional albums, Gaye reached success for the last time embracing 80s synth-funk with class.

6. I Want You (1976)
7. M.P.G. (1969)
8. In the Groove (1968)
9. Moods of Marvin Gaye (1966)
10. Trouble Man (1972)

11. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell — You're All I Need (1968)
12. That Stubborn Kinda Fellow (1963)
13. In Our Lifetime (1981)
14. How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You (1965)
15. You're the Man (2019)
16. Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston — Take 2 (1966)
17. That's the Way Love Is (1970)
18. Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells — Together (1964)
19. Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye — Diana & Marvin (1973)
20. Vulnerable (1997)
21. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell — Easy (1969)
22. The Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye (1961)
23. A Tribute to the Great Nat King Cole (1965)
24. Love Starved Heart: Rare and Unreleased (1994)
25. Dream of a Lifetime (1985)
26. When I'm Alone I Cry (1964)
27. Motown Remembers Marvin Gaye (1986)
28. Hello Broadway (1964)
29. Motown Unreleased 1965: Marvin Gaye (2015)
30. Romantically Yours (1985)




Songs:

1. What’s Going On (1971, my #8 song of all time)
Marvin going from the individual to the universal, from the hard experience of his brother Frankie fighting in Vietnam to all the "far too many" brothers dying (black, white and, yes, yellow too). And to all the people suffering because of war. Viewed with the incredulous and cynical eyes of the XXI Century and knowing that after Vietnam came Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq, the song's message reveals naïve and innocent. But this fact didn't prove untrue that "war is not the answer for only love can conquer hate."

2. Sexual Healing (1982)
Gaye's swan song displayed pure sensuality emanating from synths and rhythm boxes. No 80s compilation is complete without it.

3. Let's Get It On (1973)
Despite the overexposure it's still the mother of every slow jam and one of the most suggestive music representation of sex.

4. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) (1971)
Gaye at his most political, tying social commentary with blues-funk backing. Sadly he was not going to follow this path for long.

5. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell — Ain't No Mountain High Enough (1967)
If there weren't so many songs you could say the same about, I would say that this glorious duet carries the essence of Motown.

6. Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) (1971)
7. When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You (1978)
8. I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1968)
9. Hitch Hike (1962)
10. I Want You (1976)
11. 'Til Tomorrow (1982)
12. Where Are We Going? (2001)
