Description

MARVIN GAYE-A TRIBUTE TO NAT KING COLE - Tamala Motown - STML 11022 Stereo.

This Is the Very Rare Marvin Gaye Tribute Album To Nat King Cole In STEREO From 1965. The Flipback Cover Sleeve Is In Excellent Condition. The Vinyl Is In Excellent Condition With Sheen Still In Tact & No Discernible Surface Marks.

Early in his career Motown legend Marvin Gaye had wanted to be a crooner and his primary idol in this field was Nat King Cole. So it's only natural that he would pay tribute to him on this covers album midway through his early 60's success. The amazing part of this is he actually pulls it off-offering up beautiful covers of tunes like "Rambling Rose" and "Nature Boy", right up there with the standards set by Nat himself! Now there will never be another Nat King Cole but Gaye puts his own, more subtle spin on this classics using very similar backup orchestrations.
The highlight is the closing "Calypso Blues" in which Marvin Gaye delivers a more soulful, animated and pugnacious approach to the vocals then Nat ever did and it ends up sounding like an original! ALL Gaye fans should pick this album up! And for thoroughbred Nat Cole fans I'd take another look at this album-it won't disappoint you either! A Real Collectors Gem.
