What else needs to be said about this, probably the most beloved and venerated of all albums - Soul or otherwise - that hasn’t been said before? Marvin’s tortured and pained soul exploded in this album like it never did before - or again. Considered to be the # 1 soul album of all times, and probably one of the top-10 most important albums IN ANY GENRE - this masterpiece (and, yes, masterpiece is the right word here), quietly gained in stature over the ensuing three decades to become a proverbial monument of modern music. This is simply a work of art, in the same sense we use this term to denote works of masters of Renaissance or Classicism. If you have never heard it, you must have been (a) stranded on a desert island (b) incarcerated by the oppressive regime or (c) hearing -challenged. Whatever the case, you owe yourself a favor of hearing it, in all its analogue, vinyl glory. The intricacy of the arrangement, the supreme confidence (but no exibitionism!) of the musicians, specially the breath-taking rhythm section, which provides ‘backbone’ for Marvin’s cascading melismas and hollers, is more than heart can withstand. When he sings "Save the Children", you get to feel every word, and every syllable. And, this is just a beginning. By the time the record stops spinning, you will be a changed person. God bless you Marvin, wherever you are.

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye , Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).
