CAIN, HENRY - Funky Organization of Henry Cain
During the David Axelrod craze this was a 2nd or 3rd tier record collectors would check for because Axelrod produced it.

CHARLES, RAY - A Message From The People

GAYE, MARVIN - Marvin Gaye And His Girls
This album collects together Marvin Gaye’s recordings with Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells and Kim Weston. There are four tracks with each female artist. The songs with Wells are a little too mellow. It Takes Two with Weston finally kicks things off with its fast pace. |
