released his solo album, Let's Get It On, that August. Both albums brought huge success as both peaked in the top ten with Gaye's album eventually selling more than three million copies, becoming his best-selling Motown album ever surpassing What's Going On. Motown decided to issue the long-awaited Diana & Marvin album in 1973. Assured that the album would be a success, Motown billed it with Diana Ross' name in front of Gaye's. Gaye recalled he smirked and chuckled at the decision. Gaye tried in vain to get Gordy to allow him to name the album Marvin & Diana and give him production credit; since the album was not issued on Tamla, the producer refused Gaye's demands. Despite a huge promotional push, the album was only a modest success in the U.S. reaching number 26 on the Billboard 200 and number 7 on the R&B albums chart, selling over 500,000 copies in America. It was far more successful in the United Kingdom, where Gaye and Ross had substantial fan bases, reaching number 6 on the UK albums chart and was certified gold for sales in excess of 100,000 copies. In the States, Motown issued three singles: "You're a Special Part of Me" (number 12 pop, number 4 R&B), "My Mistake (Was to Love You)" (number 19 pop, number 15 R&B) and "Don't Knock My Love" (number 46 pop, number 25 R&B), the latter song went to number one in Brazil. In the UK, two singles were released and they were both covers of Stylistics songs. The first, "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", reached number 25 there (the original Stylistics single failed to chart there), while the second, "You Are Everything", became a smash reaching number 5. Despite their initial problems, both Gaye and Ross would tell the press that they enjoyed working on the album, with Gaye telling Soul Train host Don Cornelius on a February 16, 1974 episode that he'd love to work with Ross in the future. The artists would eventually reunite to sing together for two duets to be featured on the Berry Gordy Sr. tribute album, Pops We Love You in 1978, including the title song, "Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father)" along with Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, and a pop-gospel tune, "I'll Keep My Light in My Window". Unlike most of the sessions for Diana & Marvin, the two stars recorded
