"I'll Be Doggone" is a 1965 song recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye and released on the Tamla label. The song talks about how a man tells his woman that he'll be "doggone" about simple things but if she did him wrong that he'd be "long gone".
It became his first million selling record and his first number-one single on the R&B charts staying there for two weeks and was the first song Gaye recorded with Smokey Robinson as one of the songwriters of the record.The song was co-written by Robinson's fellow Miracles members Pete Moore & Marv Tarplin. This song gave Marvin his third top ten pop hit where it peaked at number-eight on the pop singles chart, with that number matched by his follow-up record, "Ain't That Peculiar".
