Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits is a 1964 compilation album, the first for American R&B singer Marvin Gaye, released on the Tamla label. Released during Gaye's first brand of success, it was also his first charted album as a solo artist after making his album chart debut with the Mary Wells duet album, Together, the same year. Three of the singles, "Sandman", "Can I Get a Witness" (also featuring that song's b-side, "I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby") and "You Are a Wonderful One" were non-album tracks that made it to release on this particular album, the former being the second-ever issued single released by Marvin during his tenure in Motown.
