Inner City Blues: the Music of Marvin Gaye (also known as Inner City Blues: A Tribute to Marvin Gaye) is a tribute album to soul singer Marvin Gaye who died in 1984. It was released in 1995 on the Motown Records label. The album was not success on music charts and sales were low. Many critics panned the album, although, Allmusic stated "I Want You" as the album's standout track, and WBLS (New York) deejay Felix Hernandez selected "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" as his choice in his yearly tribute to Marvin Gaye on his "Rhythm Revue" program.
