Ain't That Peculiar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Ain't That Peculiar" was a 1965 hit single by American soul musician Marvin Gaye for the Tamla (Motown) label. The single was produced by Smokey Robinson, and written by Robinson, fellow Miracles Bobby Rogers and Pete Moore, and their guitarist Marv Tarplin. "Ain't That Peculiar" features Gaye, with The Andantes on backing vocals, singing about the torment of a painful relationship.
The single was a successful hit, topping Billboard's R&B Singles chart in November 1965, and peaking at number-eight on the Billboard Pop SIngles chart. "Ain't That Peculiar" became one of Gaye's signature 1960s recordings, and was his best-known solo hit before 1968's "I Heard It through the Grapevine".
The song was later covered by several acts, including Japan (on their 1980 Gentlemen Take Polaroids album), The Jackson 5, and KISS.
