'''''When I'm Alone I Cry''''' is a 1964 album by [[Marvin Gaye]], one of several attempts of the singer to make a name for himself as a [[jazz]] vocalist. [[Motown Records|Motown]] chief [[Berry Gordy]] had never cared for Gaye's [[smooth jazz]] renditions, which also did not go over well in concert.

After ''When I'm Alone I Cry'' was unsuccessful upon its release, Gaye finally balked under pressure to record more [[rhythm and blues|R&B]] and [[soul music|soul]] material. By the end of the decade he had become one of the best-selling and most revered soul artists of his generation.
