Sobre el álbum
Con su segundo álbum, That Stubborn Kinda Fellow, de 1962, Marvin Gaye aceptó finalmente sumergirse en el vibrante sonido R&B del sello Motown, un movimiento que cambiaría su carrera para siempre. Este disco marca su verdadera irrupción como una estrella del soul y contiene sus primeros éxitos significativos, estableciendo la base de su sonido para el resto de la década.
El álbum abandona el jazz de su debut para abrazar un ritmo enérgico y bailable. Canciones como la que da título al disco o "Hitch Hike" se convirtieron en éxitos, mostrando una nueva faceta del artista: un intérprete carismático, con una voz potente y un fraseo único. Aquí comienza a forjarse su imagen de galán del soul.
Asimismo, el disco cuenta con el trabajo de los legendarios músicos de estudio de Motown, The Funk Brothers, quienes proporcionan una base rítmica impecable. "That Stubborn Kinda Fellow" es el sonido de un artista encontrando su lugar, el disco que alineó su inmenso talento con el sonido de una generación y lo puso en el camino hacia el estrellato.
