I'll Be Doggone

"I'll Be Doggone" was a 1965 hit song for American soul music legend Marvin Gaye. It became his first #1 on the R&B charts staying there for two weeks and was the first song Gaye recorded with Smokey Robinson as one of the songwriters of the record. The song was like several of Robinson's poetic-like tracks that became seminal with Motown records during the early-1960s and like most, this song found success reaching #8 on the Pop charts as well as an R&B #1.
