What's the Matter With You Baby
- What's the Matter With You Baby
"What's the Matter With You Baby" is a 1964 single released by Motown stars Marvin Gaye and Mary Wells on the Motown label.
Released as a double-A single alongside "Once Upon a Time", the song gave Gaye and Wells another charted smash.
The song, written by William "Mickey" Stevenson, Clarence Paul and Barney Ales and produced by Stevenson, has Gaye and Wells going back and forth with Gaye apologizing to Wells for leaving her behind for another woman begging Wells to give him one more chance.
At first, Mary says taking Marvin back would "hurt (her) pride" and that she can't let him take her out for the night but after Marvin pleads for Mary to come back to him, Mary relents but still passes on him taking her out for the night.
The song begins and ends with the two harmonizing together. It peaked at number nineteen on the pop chart when released.
