"First Mary Wells, then Oma Page. Kim Weston followed, and later Diana Ross, but it was Tammi Terrell who is remembered as Marvin Gaye's ultimate singing partner. Author David Ritz says, 'The fourth of Marvin's five musical marriages was the most intense--intensely melodic, spectacularly successful, devastatingly tragic.' The duo could summon the spirits of friendship, warmth, passion, church, romance, and fire; their songs embody some of the beautiful sentiments ever sent out into the world. Kim Weston exited the company in early '67, leaving Marvin in search of a duet partner. This time the label teamed him with vivacious Philly native Terrell. From the outset, it was a match made in heaven."
