Ridg high on the succs of the landmark What's Gog On, Marv Gaye won a lucrative rerd ntract and total creative eedom for his next project.

Gaye nducts a full orchtra, cludg sci-fi synths and sultry horns, on the mostly stmental tracks, which traverse moods rangg om sctive to spenseful to jt pla ol. Flecked wh Gaye's angelic vols, Trouble Man transcends mere soundtrack fare.

Marv Gaye. In 1972, thgs were rapidly shiftg Marv Gaye's world. Wh Motown's offic migratg wt om Detro to Los Angel, Gaye followed su, begng work on Trouble Man, both the sre to a blaxploatn film of the same name and the soundtrack that would be his next album.

MARV GAYE TROUBLE MAN

Wh mimal sgg (Gaye sgs through only the tle track, addg agmentary volizatns mimally throughout the rt of the album), Gaye wrote, arranged, and nducted the entire soundtrack, workg wh both Motown players and a full orchtra over the urse of s rerdg. It's been speculated by some that Trouble Man was a ncerted effort to move away om the expectatns of a rbon-py follow-up to the almost immeasurably high standards of What's Gog On, but 's bt to look at the rerd as an enty unto self rather than the next Marv Gaye album the cha. Lookg at the album outsi the trends of s era and ward to the art that Gaye was sculptg shows Trouble Man as a mostly wordls statement on the rapidly changg tim for both young black Ameri and Marv's personal life.

While 's been relegated to the lser stat of Gaye's one-off blaxploatn soundtrack, ris far above the wanrg wah-wah guars and dated bongos of s peers. Trouble Man might not be as immediate or universally relatable as Gaye's soul-searchg on What's Gog On or his later sensual fixatns, but a ep listen will show 's very much part of the same overarchg geni that touched all of his work. Trouble Man is a soundtrack and twelfth stud album by Amerin soul sger Marv Gaye, released on December 8, 1972, on Motown-subsidiary label Tamla Rerds.

As the soundtrack to the 1972 blaxploatn film of the same name, the Trouble Man soundtrack was a more ntemporary move for Gaye, followg his landmark polilly charged album What’s Gog On. Gaye remaed very proud of this work, tellg journalist Pl Gambacci 1976:. Trouble Man shocked everyone who thought Gaye uldn't possibly liver a qualy soundtrack, while was only recent years that even hardre soul fans have realized how great M.

hontly, i only listened to this bee i rewatched the wter soldier the other day (the bt mcu movie), and i've been meang to get more gaye my life (shut up).

If you're a fan of the '70s crime thriller athetic, check credible thgs happen on this almost mor masterpiece om Gaye.

"Marv Gaye, 1972, Trouble Man soundtrack. No one ever did stmental soul que like Marv Gaye.

ArtistMarv Gaye.

Marv Gaye vols, wrer, producer.

A much better soundtrack than "Shaft"Marv Gaye don't do much sgg on this, his first and only film sre. "TROUBLE MAN mak me wish that Marv Gaye had posed more movie sr. So…if you're to blaxploatn soundtracks, or you're a mician, you're probably givg this thg five stars all over the you're ed to the Marv Gaye we all are ed to, then you're listeng to this thg wh raised eyebrow.

I picked up the Trouble Man expand edn bee every other 70's Marv Gaye release I have is a luxe edn format…so, to stick wh nformy, this was also picked, the origal LP by self is much tighter and stronger than what we have gog on here…'s still very much a soundtrack of stmentals primarily, but at least 's more ncise than this expand is the send disc toutg the origal sre that brgs the whole thg down to is a very dated, 70's soundtrack…all the way. I hang onto though for further exploratn to the md of Marv Gaye, but the origal LP will su all better, and do put forth some solid jams, like "T" Plays Cool", and "Cleo's Apartment", asi om the tle and bluy all the way around, I appreciate the add bon, but I fd I listen to them for appreciatn ntext, rpect to the Marv Gaye as this opn may be, is what expand edn is remend for those who nnot get enough Gaye, but also for those who have a knack for blaxploatn films. Gaye on the other hand has his history as the nsummate smooth lover soul sger, one who only jt earned te creative eedom.

And yeah que a pleasant surprise throughout mostly bee there's enough tetherg to his existent reer to always remd you that this ed Marv Gaye at work. Most tracks are stmental, but y of urse Gaye don't leave thgs unsung over and his airy pip get to work at a few key pots. Gaye may have the crooner type reputatn but his voice's romance is also part atmosphere.

Marv Gaye’s work for Trouble Man (yet another Shaft-style black film, this one dropped om sight soon after s release) falls somewhere between that of Hay and Mayfield. While there’s no attempt to make a song-sre like that of Superfly — “Trouble Man, ” the tle song, is practilly the only cut wh lyrics and even the are spare — Gaye, like Mayfield, has created a sre strong enough to be pletely pennt of the film.

Gaye’s first album sce his surprisg and novative What’s Go’ On more than a year ago, Trouble Man don’t take his mic a whole lot further and certaly sisteps the problem of how to follow up a sweepg life statement — aha! Much of the other material is moody and more remiscent of Gaye’s “Mercy, Mercy Me” or “Save The Children, ” wh Marv sgg a few l of lyrics or sttg that strangely ethereal voice of his.
