Trouble Man" is a song composed and written by American recording artist Marvin Gaye released on the Motown subsidiary, Tamla, in November of 1972. The song was the title track and theme of the blaxploitation film of the same name. Relating the song to the travails of the movie's leading character, named "Mister T", and also relating to issues in his private life, Marvin called it one of the most honest recordings he ever made
Trouble Man is a soundtrack and twelfth studio album by American soul singer Marvin Gaye, released on December 8, 1972, on Motown-subsidiary label Tamla Records. As the soundtrack to the 1972 Blaxploitation film of the same name, the Trouble Man soundtrack was a more contemporary move for Gaye, following his landmark politically charged album What's Going On. Contents. Main Theme from Trouble Man (2)" – 2:30. 'T' Plays It Cool" – 4:27. Poor Abbey Walsh" – 4:13. The Break In (Police Shoot Big)" – 1:57. Cleo's Apartment" – 2:10. Theme from Trouble Man" – 2:01. Side Two. "'T' Stands for Trouble" – 4:48. Main Theme from Trouble Man (1)" – 3:52. Life Is a Gamble" – 2:32.
Trouble Man" captures Marvin Gaye at his musical peak and hits the mark as a great, if understated and overlooked soundtrack album. With dreams of going to Hollywood at one stage, this was as close as Marvin got to the movies. While the film has faded away into the annals of blaxploitation, the album remains eminently listenable. Written and produced by Marvin, the album features arrangements by various musicians. Some 70s themes will sound familiar. But the strength of the album is its jazzy atmosphere and moody grooves
