Title: Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye – Diana & Marvin
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1973, R&B, Soul, Detroit / Washington, D.C.
Matrix #: C5RS-8028
Condition: VG+ visible wear, but plays great (VZ)
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Gaye came into this still carrying the emotional wreckage left by Tammi Terrell’s death and had sworn off female duet albums for a time.
-
Studio Lore Ross was pregnant and the sessions got difficult enough that Motown ended up recording much of the album separately and blending the vocals later.
-
Media Narrative Motown billed Ross first, pushed it hard, and got a hit, but in the U.S. the album landed more as a solid success than the giant event they expected.
