Description

1981s In Our Lifetime served as Marvin Gayes final album for Motown before leaving for Columbia Records where he cut his last ever record Midnight Love (1982). After scrapping the bedroom funk album Love Man, Marvin changed gears with the more contemplative In Our Lifetime centered around his internal struggles, our brief time on this earth and of course love. Passionate and personal, the criminally underrated In Our Lifetime features a little bit of everything you want from Marvin Gaye and latter day gems like Praise, Life Is For Learning and Heavy Love Affair stand as consummate bookends to his Motown supremacy.
