Trouble Man (song)

"Trouble Man" is a song composed and written by American recording artist Marvin Gaye released on the Motown subsidiary, Tamla, in November 1972.

The album version of the song was the only one released as a single in November 1972, where it became a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 reaching number seven on that chart in January 1973.

The song is about the travails of the movie's lead character, "Mister T", and also relates to issues in Gaye's private life.

Gaye also recorded a slightly different version of the song primarily for the movie's opening, in which he sang in both tenor and falsetto.

Cash Box described it as a "fine blend of smooth vocals and intriguing musical ventures.
