''Romantically Yours'' was the second posthumous release for American soul music legend Marvin Gaye, also released by Columbia Records in 1985.

While his previous posthumous album, ''Dream Of A Lifetime'', showcased some of Marvin's appetite for funk rhythms and soul balladry, this album focused on his attempts at being a crooner.

The collection showcased a growth in Gaye's vocal styling as he slowly found his footing as a crooner with songs such as "Just Like", "Why Did I Choose You" - a track he had originally recorded in 1968 to failed result and later revived for an album he was working on in 1978 titled ''Ballads'' (later released as ''Vulnerable'' in 1997) and "Walking in the Rain" which showcased his perfecting falsetto croon to a jazz setting.

Songs such as the revived 1978 recordings of "Why Did I Choose You" and "I Won't Cry Anymore" and a different 1978 version of "The Shadow of Your Smile" later made it on ''Vulnerable''. - Wikipedia
