- You (Marvin Gaye song)
"You" is a 1968 single released by soul singer
Marvin Gaye on the Tamla label.Released as the first single off Gaye's "In the Groove" album, it was written by
Ivy Jo Hunter , Jack Goga and Jeffrey Bowen and produced by Hunter.The song talked of a man wanting to keep a rendezvous secret with one woman while the both of them are involved with other people.
Recorded after Gaye recorded his "
I Heard It Through the Grapevine " single, it showcased a new rougher Gaye vocal than usual signaling a change in the singer's direction as he stepped away from the sophisticated-styled soul that dominated his mid-sixties releases.A modest hit on the pop charts peaking at number thirty-four, it was a top ten single on the R&B charts where it peaked at number seven.
