A nearly 80-minute live album from 1977, Live at the London Palladium effectively compresses most of Marvin

Gaye's numerous career highlights, making it a wonderful retrospective of the justly mythologized soul singer's

accomplishments. Almost everything is here that could be: his '60s hits, his duets, the best moments from What's

Going On, a trio of highlights each from Let's Get It On and I Want You, and even a bonus studio track, the magnificent

12-minute disco-funk epic "Got to Give It Up." Gaye performs with a sense of exuberance no doubt fueled by the large,

appreciative audience. Furthermore, his rapport with the audience becomes well apparent and welcome during 

"Come Get to This" and "Let's Get It On"; during this pair of back-to-back odes to sex, you can feel the sultry passion in his

voice as his singing drifts close to moaning and his ad libbing approaches tasteful. When Marvin speaks pensively of

Tammi Terrell -- after the audience applauds her name, he wistfully whispers, "Oh, she'd like that...for her I thank you."

These subtle between-song moments prove revealing in retrospect. Live at the London Palladium also stands as the

best and most readily available portrait of Gaye's live performances.
