Motown announces planned release of Marvin Gaye album

Fans of the late Marvin Gaye are overwhelmed with joy at a recent announcement by Motown records. Gaye would have been 80-years-old this year if he hadn’t been killed in 1984. To commemorate his 80th birthday, a couple of his unreleased songs will be compiled into an album by Motown.

VIBE reported that Gaye planned to release the album before his death but he was discouraged because of the response to the first single. Initially, the album was meant to be a follow up to “What’s Going On,” his 1971 album. Another reason for stalling was that he is reported to have had a clash with Berry Gordy, a Motown executive, because of his political views.

The new album, which is billed to be released next month, is titled “You’re the man.” Furthermore, it is expected to have 17 songs which include the initial single, “My Last Chance.” Here is a list of tracks on the album:

1. You’re The Man (Pts. I & II / Single Version)
2. The World Is Rated X (Alternate Mix)
3. Piece Of Clay
4. Where Are We Going? (Alternate Mix 2)
5. I’m Gonna Give You Respect
6. Try It, You’ll Like It
7. You Are That Special One
8. We Can Make It Baby
9. My Last Chance (SalaAM ReMi Remix)
10. Symphony (SalaAM ReMi LP Mix)
11. I’d Give My Life For You (SalaAM ReMi LP Mix)
12. Woman Of The World
13. Christmas In The City
14. You’re The Man (Alternate Version)
15. I Want To Come Home For Christmas
16. I’m Going Home
17. Checking Out (Double Clutch)
