MARV GAYE’S LOST ‘WHAT’S GOG ON’ FOLLOW UP, ‘YOU’RE THE MAN,’ SET FOR RELEASE
* marvin gaye you're the man *
Upon s release 2019, You're the Man was billed as a "lost" album -- an album tend to appear between Marv Gaye's 1971 masterwork What's Gog On and 1973's Let's Get It On. Part of the problem may be that the material prisg the send half of the 2019 release is a grab bag of ssn material ntag two Christmas songs; a jam wh Bohannon where Gaye talks to the listener through the song lled "Checkg Out (Double Clutch)"; and three new mix by Salaam Remi, a producer who earned Grammy nomatns for his work on the Fuge' 1996 album, The Sre, and Amy Wehoe's 2007 rerd, Back to Black. Inspired by the succs of the socially nsc What's Gog On, Gaye cid to ntue this ve, cuttg the polilly charged funk tune "You're the Man" and a handful of other msage tun.
Theoretilly, this isn't a bad directn for Gaye to pursue, but once "You're the Man" stiffed on the charts -- ma to Billboard's R&B Top 10, but stalled at 50 on the Hot 100 -- Motown and Gaye both got ld feet, wh Marv turng his attentn to soundtrack work, culmatg the release of Trouble Man later that year. Appealg ias and sounds, but the songs tend to be rather blah, suggtg that the LP's ncellatn had more to do wh the fact that Gaye had yet to fd an album wh his ssns than anythg to do wh beg too ntroversial for s time.
