Bio

Los Angeles act Trouble Man - A Tribute to Marvin Gaye focuses on Marvin Gaye’s best-known songs, with L. Young fronting the show and Crystal Starr appearing as Tammi Terrell for the classic duets. The act also offers a holiday production, The Soul of Christmas.

Trouble Man - A Tribute to Marvin Gaye is a Los Angeles tribute act centered on Marvin Gaye’s catalog, with a set built around songs including Let’s Get It On, Got to Give It Up, Distant Lover, and What’s Going On.

The show is fronted by L. Young and focuses on the sound, feel, and spirit associated with Marvin Gaye’s music, supported by harmonies and groove-led arrangements drawn from the Motown style.

Crystal Starr appears as Tammi Terrell, adding the well-known duet material tied to Marvin and Tammi, including Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, You’re All I Need to Get By, and Your Precious Love.

The act also offers a holiday production, The Soul of Christmas. This seasonal show opens with Motown-driven holiday material including Stevie Wonder’s What Christmas Means to Me, The Jackson 5’s Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, and Diana Ross & The Supremes’ Favorite Things, then moves into holiday standards and soul-based reinterpretations.

The Christmas set includes The Christmas Song, I Want to Come Home for Christmas, Otis Redding’s Merry Christmas Baby, Boyz II Men’s Let It Snow, O Holy Night, Silent Night in a Temptations style, and Mary Did You Know. It closes with a Motown Holiday Party Finale featuring Santa Baby, Sleigh Ride, James Brown’s Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto, a Christmas medley, and All I Want for Christmas.

For buyers, the format is straightforward: a Marvin Gaye tribute anchored by familiar solo hits, iconic duet material, and an optional holiday version that expands the show for seasonal programming.
