Editorial Review:
UK budget-price compilation for the late Motown legend, best known for her classic duets with Marvin Gaye (one duet is included here). 18 tracks including her entire 1968 album, 'Irresistible' along with singles, B-sides & rarities. 2001 release.
Terrell 's distinctive voice was silenced all too quickly in her short life. this disc incorporates her only solo album 'Irresistable', which has been out of print for many years. Includes her solo hits 'I Can't Believe You Love Me', 'Come on and See Me' and her take on the Isley's 'This Old Heart of Mine'. 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' is the only duet with Marvin Gaye included here, as the spotlight of this disc is on Terrell.

Rating:  - She Left Us Way Too Soon
Tammi Terrell was just 24 years of age when she died of a brain tumor on March 16, 1970. The disease had been discovered three years earlier after she collapsed in mid-performance.
Born Tammi Montgomery, she retained her stage surname after a brief marriage to boxer Ernie Terrell. Her first charted single, which came in August 1963 when working with the James Brown Revue, was I Cried on Brown's Try Me label b/w If You Don't Think. Nilled to Tammy Montgomery it only made it to # 99 Billboard ... Read More

It had the one song I was looking for and I was thrilled to find it! The other songs didn't thrill me!!
Rating:  - Under-appreciated, gone but never forgotten
Tammi Terrell, Kim Weston, Chris Clark and The Velvelettes were all Motown artists who were more talented than they were lucky. Thanks to Amazon and UK spectrum the talents of these seemingly forgotten artists can now be appreciated once again - this time on cd.
Of course Tammi Terrell will always be remembered for her duets with Marvin Gaye. In referring to her as forgotten I am thinking of her solo work, recorded at Motown between 1965 and 1968. I vividly recall taking the bus and subway ... Read More
Rating: - First collection of solo recordings
Although Thomasina Montgomery, better known as Tammi Terrell, was only 20 when Berry Gordy signed her to Motown in 1965, she had already been recording singles for five years at Scepter/Wand under the aegis of James Brown. At Motown She made one solo album, called Irresistible, and three singles, but went on to achieve more notable success in a musical partnership with Marvin Gaye, producing several hit singles and a couple of albums.
Tragically she died on 16 March 1970 of a brain tumour, having collapsed ... Read More
Rating: - "2nd-division" Motown surpasses most others' masterpieces
In Elizabethan London, such was the atmosphere's creative charge, even the less distinguished poets could be pretty amazing. So with the pressure-cooker environment of Motown's golden era: it's disconcerting to realize that these mid-1960s tracks would've been considered by their creators to have been second-division repertoire, not to be spoken of in the same breath as Martha Reeves's or Gladys Knight's output, let alone Diana Ross's. Sure enough, the two greatest Motown songwriting teams - Ashford-Simpson and Holland ... Read More
