Trouble Man

by Marvin Gaye

The 2034th greatest album of all time

Trouble Man is Marvin Gaye's 1972 soundtrack album for the film of the same name, blending soul, funk, and jazz with cinematic arrangements and brooding grooves. Gaye wrote and produced the score, and the record alternates vocal and instrumental pieces that emphasize a darker, more filmic atmosphere, showcasing his baritone voice alongside jazz-inflected horns, strings, and funk rhythms. The title track serves as a central theme that ties the album's moody, soundtrack-oriented sound together.
