Ordered by a judge to turn over the profits from two albums to the first wife he'd left, Marvin Gaye produced this bitter, sad, bewildered masterwork. Over sprawling funk tracks, he questions her, himself, love, family, and, of course, asks, "Why do I have to pay attorney fees?" Both incomparably smooth and incontrovertibly twisted, Here, My Dear is Gaye with the mask off: even the multiple vocal overdubs can't hide his pain and his weariness. --Rickey Wright

Summary: Sorry....
Comment: I got this CD based on the fact that this was the overall highest rated MG album. After listening to it many times over months, I think that it is only OK. There are a couple of songs that I like but having just got Let's Get It On (also What's Going On,) any of those songs are instantly sooooo much better than anything on Here, My Dear.

Summary: Marvin-Another great one
Comment: Another good CD! People ask me what album is that from? There are some good songs on this CD from a time in his life that was obviously painful. This CD shows diversity of the artist
Customer Rating:
Summary: Blast From the Past
Comment: Era nostalgic and Marvin Gaye fans will completely enjoy liner notes which enlighten on how "Here, My Dear" came to be. Great songs from a great talent that to this day is sorely missed. Mr. Gaye pours out his feelings and delivers a wonderful musical compilation about insights into a time that was quite intense in his life.

Summary: Here, My Dear
Comment: What started out as Marvin's revenge album is truly one of his greatest works. Listening to this album makes me wish I had 1/10 of the talent needed to shape such incredible pain into such a beautiful work of art.
Of all of Marvin's albums I own, this is my 2nd favorite behind I WANT YOU & ahead of WHAT'S GOIN ON. Every song just flows so beautifully into the next as an open letter to his ex-wife, Anna Gordy about their courtship, marriage, problems & divorce.
The liner notes are excellent in taking the listener on the journey of the creation of this album and offers commentary on how Marvin worked in the studio shaping his feelings & experiences into songs. Although it was considered a "flop" in its day, fortunately it's not out of print so that new generations can discover and appreciate it for themselves.
I'd highly recommend this album to Marvin Gaye fans and newbies - it's just that good.

Summary: Marvin's Testimony of a Marriage Split
Comment: As by listening to this album since by purchasing, I felt like I heard a cry or a tear coming down from my eye. It's all right here in this record. People everywhere all go thru stuff daily with trying to solve a situation with a relationship or not in the limit of being in love or you like to express your emotions about being married, single, divorced, or what.
I can't put it into words because it'll be an interference. This shows where Marvin been going through his footsteps by breaking away from his first wife Anna Gordy in 1976 and thru the chaos of the IRS trying to attack him meaning he owed millions of $$$.
Here My Dear by far the best piece of work that Marvin's ever done in his life. You cannot deny that this flop or ain't worth your taste. This record been avoided by critics and/or record buyers because it's lack a wrong message or not saying anything. Thanks to writer David Ritz who believes this a great record.
