Locked away in the Motown vaults for more than 30 years, this archival release from 1997 is Marvin at his most vulnerable, hence the title.
This is him at his best, crooning soulfully over heavily orchestrated big band arrangements with overdubs and a beautifully warm production aesthetic.
There's a certain downtrodden and mournful tone to this record, and one of the things the man could do better than almost anyone is put that fear and despair or life and love to tune.
Thank you, Marvin.
