The Many Facets of Roger is the debut solo project by Dayton, Ohio-based funk musician Roger Troutman. The album went platinum based on the R&B successes of "So Ruff, So Tuff" and his cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It through the Grapevine". In the album, Troutman featured two instrumentals, "A Chunk of Sugar" and "Blue (A Tribute to the Blues)", which was recorded inside Detroit's United Sound Studios. In 2002 the album was re-released with three bonus tracks: "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (single version), "Do It Roger" (single version), and a cover of the 1969 song "Superman" by the American sunshine pop band The Clique, which Troutman recorded in 1997.
