Well Done & Thank You!
I am a student in a Music classroom teachers and I was actually able to understand a lot of the termonology and follow the musical descriptions. Great musical history and something I will keep on my iPhone because it is a great conversational piece. I love Marvin Gaye!

Great series!
I learned a lot watching these episodes--I had no idea all the work and quirky things that went into this album.
