What the...You Mean I Can't Sing?! is the fourth studio album by Melvin Van Peebles. Released in 1974, this album marks the first traditional music effort by Van Peebles. Previously, Van Peebles released the experimental spoken word albums Brer Soul, Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death and As Serious as a Heart-Attack.
What the...You Mean I Can't Sing?! largely derives from funk and soul music, much as Van Peebles had featured on the soundtrack to his 1971 film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.
