Editorial Review:
In the boxing world, it's called an overmatch. This 1973 artifact found Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross plugged into tracks by a half-dozen producers (including Gaye/Tammi Terrell masterminds Ashford & Simpson, Motown stalwart Hal Davis, and Berry Gordy himself). Although Gaye would later speak disdainfully of Ross to biographer David Ritz, and his richly emotive tone indeed sometimes mixes with her piping coos like oil with water, Diana & Marvin still proves hard to resist. Gaye's restraint is a fine thing to hear, and the two get fittingly touching material in two Stylistics covers and the wonderful single "My Mistake (Was to Love You)." (Never mind how unconvincing they sound on "I'm Falling in Love with You"; lie back and enjoy it.) More than a curio, less than a classic, the original album is augmented by four bonus tracks, three previously unreleased. --Rickey Wright

Average Rating: 
Rating: - LOTS OF FUN
This cd is a definite 4 star for me. It's been interesting reading the other comments. Many compare this with the duets Marvin Gaye did with other women. That reaaly doesn't apply here for Diana Ross's voice is very different and very pure.
Many also seem to think he definitely outsings her. I must admit that I am not a huge Marvin Gaye fan but I find that both are showcased well with this collection. YOU'RE A SPECIAL PART OF ME and MY MISTAKE are the big hits and strongest cuts ... Read More
Rating:  - A classic collection!!!
Two Aries, what an excellent pairing!!!! Marvin Gaye with his beautiful voice, and the beautiful Diana Ross and her amazing vocals. It doesn't get any better than this!!!! My favorite tracks on this album are Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart, and My Mistake!!! It is a crying shame that Marvin Gaye was taken away from us so soon. He left behind a legacy of great music!!!
Rating:  - A good piece of nostalgia - Special for Soul fanatics!
This album contains two wonderful scores by Diana Ross and the late (and unforgettable) Marvin Gaye: "My Mistake (Was To Love You)", and "You Are My Everything". Period.
However, if you're a serious Soul music fan, this CD must be in your collection (not yet? Get it right now!), surely you will enjoy the rest of the songs.
Rating: - Just like forever
I used to listen to this album in the early 70's, I somehow lost track of it and purchased this CD after Diana Ross was on American Idol. I've always loved Diana and Marvin Gaye and the melody of their voices. This brings back many memories of a simpler wonderful time.
Rating: - Great music but not a great combination of voices...
I had this album as a child, wore it out back then and still listen to it today. The songs are fabulous, it's just that Marvin sings circles around Diana. I love Diana, don't get me wrong, but her voice is too thin to get down with Marvin. I'm wondering if Themla Houston was signed to Motown at this time. Her voice would have been more fitting than Diana's. I understand that Marvin and Diana were the Prince and Princess of Motown at that time, but the album cover gives you a hint about their chemistry ... Read More
