Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) is a song written by Marvin Gaye, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, and first recorded by Gaye in 1962. Nearly two decades later, Paul Young's version of the song was a UK No. 1 single for three weeks in July 1983. The Paul Young version, from the album No Parlez, is stylistically notable for its use of fretless bass, played by Pino Palladino. Though a major UK hit that broke Young as a star, the song fared less well on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 70.
