Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

The smoothest voice in Motown soul returns in a classic collection of sixteen full-length performances captured live on American and European television and completely re-mastered for optimum image and sound quality. Beginning with a 1964 performance of "Hitch Hike" on American Bandstand and spanning the course of three decades, Gaye takes the stage to perform such hits as "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", "What's Goin' On", and "Let's Get it On" before winding to a close with a 1981 rendition of "Heavy Love Affair". Various interview segments scattered throughout the release and filmed throughout Gaye's career offer added insight into the mind of the Motown legend.
