AROUND AND AROUND adds another to the Reviled: Albums Critics Love To Hate series. This one is by Marvin Gaye from 1976, I WANT YOU (follow the link). This one is so appropriate to the series because on initial release, critical noses were turned up because they detected incipient late night crooner disco. Add to that every track was written or co-written byLeon Ware. Then the likes of Prince, Madonna, Todd Rundgren and others started listing it as a seminal and influential album. This is a classic “Revised from Reviled” album, and every Marvin Gaye album is worthy of attention.
