Marvin Gaye - "the Man" Release Date?

[Tommy1]

Is there anyone here who can tell me the exact date this was released?

If you are referring to ' You re The Man ' was issued in 1972 in USA .

Tamla 54221 issued April 26th , 1972 in limited quantity was never pushed much so my US counterparts informed me its quite a obscure issue - have found two or three maybe in last 15 yeras ... - also issued on red vinyl for the demo copy.

IF its ' Trouble Man ' 21/11/72 tamla 54228 .

It's "You're the man", and thanks a lot for the info! The reason I ask is I'm guessing it's a "anti" Nixon tune before the president election in November 1972.

I had no idea it was obscure, it's several copies on Ebay by the way!
