Greatest Hits is a 1964 greatest hits album, the first for American R&B- soul singer Marvin Gaye, released on the Tamla label. Released during Gaye's first period 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're a Wonderful One", were non-album tracks that made it to release on this particular album.
