Moods of Marvin Gaye is the seventh studio album by Marvin Gaye, released on the Tamla label in 1966. The album was the result of a plan to establish Gaye as a strong album-oriented artist as well as a hit maker. Gaye was still uncomfortable with performing strictly R&B and had begun work on a standards album around this time, after meeting musician Bobby Scott. However, the sessions were unsuccessful and he would successfully complete a standards album only in his later years. For the time being, Gaye was winning more fans and had become a crossover teen idol. Six songs from Moods of Marvin Gaye were released as singles, all of which reached the Top 40 on the R&B singles chart. Four singles reached the Top 40 on the Pop Singles Chart. Gaye also scored his first two No. 1 R&B singles, "I'll Be Doggone" and "Ain't That Peculiar", both co-written by Gaye's friend, Berry Gordy's right-hand man Smokey Robinson.
