Love Starved Heart: Rare and Unreleased is a compilation album by Marvin Gaye. Released in 1994 on Motown Records, the collection features some rarities from the soul singer's catalog during his formative years in the label between his breakthrough year as a R&B star in 1963 to around the time he had released his breakthrough late 1960s hits including "I Heard It through the Grapevine" at the end of the decade. Covering material he worked on with luminaries such as Holland-Dozier-Holland, Smokey Robinson and William "Mickey" Stevenson, it showcases Marvin's vocal growth throughout the disc. In 1999, an expanded version was released including bonus tracks and a rare interview.
