Dream of a Lifetime was the first posthumously released compilation of music by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released in 1985, it featured a mixture of songs Gaye had worked on both before his death at the hands of his father on April 1 1984, and from the archives of Motown during Gaye's 1970s tenure with the label. "Sanctified Lady" (originally titled "Sanctified Pussy") was completed by Gordon Banks and released as a single, reaching #2 on the US R&B charts.

  • Dream of a Lifetime was the first posthumously released compilation of music by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released in 1985, it featured a mixture of songs Gaye had worked on both before his death at the hands of his father on April 1 1984, and from the archives of Motown during Gaye's 1970s tenure with the label. "Sanctified Lady" (originally titled "Sanctified Pussy") was completed by Gordon Banks and released as a single, reaching #2 on the US R&B charts. A second single, "It's Madness", peaked at a more modest #55 on the same singles chart and would be Gaye's last single until "My Last Chance" six years later. Dream of a Lifetime peaked at #8 on the R&B album chart and #41 on the pop album chart upon its release.
  • Dream of a Lifetime ist ein Album mit Songs von Marvin Gaye. Dream of a Lifetime erschien erst nach dem Tod von Marvin Gaye und enthält sowohl Stücke, an denen er kurz vor seinem Tod arbeitete, als auch Lieder, die er im Lauf der Jahre aufgenommen, jedoch nicht veröffentlicht hat. Der Unterschied zwischen den neueren und den älteren Liedern ist dabei kaum zu überhören. Die neueren Lieder sind sehr Synthesizer-lastig und textlich unter der Gürtellinie angesiedelt (Savage in the Sack oder Masochistic Beauty). Die älteren Titel erinnern hingegen stark an Gayes erfolgreichste Zeiten und seine Veröffentlichungen der frühen 1970er (z. B. Symphony oder It’s Madness). Insgesamt ist Dream of a Lifetime also kein in sich homogenes Album, sondern eher eine Marvin-Gaye-Kompilation und der Versuch der Plattenfirma, mit dem Tod des Künstlers Geld zu verdienen.
