Second collaboration album from Motown's leading male vocalist Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell, a partnership that would shortly come to an end with her premature death. You're All I Need features the US top ten hits Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing and the title track. (US:60)
"Having been a fan of both Marvin and Tammi for many years, this is the sound not only of Motown, but true love in pure form. Unfortunately, Tammi Terrell was not given her due during her all too brief lifetime and career."
"There simply wasn't one bad song on the set this time out. And the hits were certainly packed into this one."
"Of course there was simply no questioning the heat the two generated together; Terrell's sensuous growl was perfectly suited for Gaye's pleading voice - easily one of the best duos in popular music. You're All I Need has always struck me as being even better than the pair's first collaboration. The four Nicholas Ashford and Valerie Simpson tracks have traditionally attracted most of the attention - well deserved since they made for some classic late 1960s soul, that can still grab an audience decades after they were recorded."
"I wanted to listen to some great music with a wonderful meaning. No auto tune stuff like we are forced to listen to now whenever you turn on the radio. This is a wonderful LP and surely shows how talented both Tammi and Marvin were. If you are looking for great hours of lasting music, this is the one for you."
"Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell were riding high on the success of their previous album, from which this one is indistinguishable. They are totally believable on these duets, and it's impossible to overstate how crucial this is to the success of the music, as they sing to each other and not alongside each other."
