  • This is one of my favourite songs period. Marvin Gaye is my favourite singer along with MJ, and this song just makes you stop and think. 3 things for sure taxes, death and trouble, aint that the truth.....

  • Only 3 things for sure.....taxes, death and trouble.....still true today.

  • Smooth song!!

  • I want to hear eryka bahdu sing this

  • @zimzoomit ive heard alicia keyes sing this on the piano. it was sweet

  • My vine gay.

  • What a song. Makes you stand still and listen. Thanks for posting.

  • Four Brothers

  • TRUE CLASSIC to play in my old Chevy :D

  • unlike other commenters i heard this in the 90s while i was with a friend... granted it was around for some time but im only 23...

  • these ads need to appear after the song, not before

  • Here because of Trouble Man...the movie. Robert Hooks

  • LEGENDARY

  • Bewtween Marvin Gaye & Al Green 2 of da smoothest voices in history! legends ;)

  • No one will ever sing like marvin!!!!!!!!!!

  • The years fade by but NOT the WONDERFUL memories of those GOOD times with such BEAUTIFUL and CREATIVE people. What a CREATIVE and EXCITING time it was. NOT like the BORING and DEAD times we live in now. Those times will NEVER die.

  • I love this music, it had so much soul in it...

  • this is P.I.M.P.

  • Thanks for posting; brought back memories.

  • Typical of many of the so-called black exploitation films of the 70's, the soundtrack was better than the movie.

  • thumbs down to the top comments if your here just cuz you know good music

  • thumbs up if marky mark is a badass!!!

  • Like this if you enjoy the Trouble Man Album

  • @cartoonist1975 u mean from the movie???

  • fuck the movie we´d never forgot Marvin.

  • Great song!!

  • Cool everything

    

  • Cool grove

  • Thumbs up if you're a pure music fan!!! R&B, Soul, Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, Classical, etc. Glad a movie brought some people here. But, it's sad that folks have been on the planet this long and never gave anything a chance until they heard it on a soundtrack. As though people have never heard of Marvin Gaye. If you're young, of course, this excludes you.  You had to hear it from a third-party in order to be put onto it.

  • Dear god. Im 18 and just found this music... please send me a list of this kind of music, ive listened to rap and hardcore my whole life. this cuts straight to the soul guys. this is music

  • this was in the movie Bronx Tale

  • four brothers???

    i saw this on AMERICAN PIMP!!

  • this is that old school thuggin

  • When Does Thicke not sample?

  • FOUR BROTHERS!!!!!

  • i didn't realise that Robin Thicke had sampled this from his song '' Million Dollar Baby '' must say i prefer this one

  • four brother !

  • haunting melody a song that seends chills thru your body absolutely genuis thats the name Mr marvin gaye( Trouble man) goes by. you just dont hear anything today that could match this kind of genuis.

  • This is my clear my head of all my problem's song,thanx for putting it up here =D

  • hey im 28 years old ive been knowing about this song for years might i add that im of hispanic race and this is the shit for anyone who love gangster ass music like this and this aint the only song out there either str8 pimp shit

  • @chris13la This is not "gangster/pimp shit"!!! That's a very simplistic view of the man's work. This was made for all people going through hard situations in hard times. Whether they were in the streets or not. Marvin Gaye never promoted pimping and gangster lifestyles nor did he make it for that purpose. If you felt it, you felt it.

  • @MrTMCakaTonyMacaroni Its simplistic way of phrasing things for sure but when you're caught up in a hustler lifestyle you can really identify with Marvin's work. Not because its "Hustler music" but because it identifies with a lifestyle & places & times that have people making all sorts of attempts to get by & get out be it via hustling, music, or any other way we get by and get on.

  • @DSQrn Exactly!

  • AAAAA COMO PODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • According to American Masters PBS, Marvin, home from a tour, staying at his parents house found his father being very abusive to his mother. This had gone on for years, Marvin stepped in and beat up his father. His father, a cross dressing, Pentecostal minister went into his room, got the gun (that Marvin had given him some time earlier) and shot his son twice. The second time killing him.

  • Marvin hit #7 in Billboard, 2-3-73. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Why would his own daddy kill him? IDK. RIP, Marvin.

    If something is enjoyable it doesn't mean God is involved...

    This man just had an incredible talent and, if this was given by God, he also took it away.

    So stop the religious crap and give Mr Gaye the credit instead of your God :)
