Remarkably, this most long running finite series of all finally comes to a close today with a highly appropriate Number One.
'I Heard it through the Grapevine isn't a plea to save a love affair: it's Marvin Gaye's essay on salvaging the human spirit. The record distills four hundred years of paranoia and talking drum gossip into three minutes and fifteen seconds of anguished soul-searching. The proof's as readily accessible as your next unexpected encounter on the radio with the fretful, self-absorbed vocal that makes the record a lost continent of music and emotion.'
