Marvin Gaye – What's Going On

Marvin Gaye – What's Going On

The album that changed what soul music could say. Released in 1971 against Motown's wishes, What's Going On was Marvin Gaye's bold, deeply personal response to the Vietnam War, racial injustice, poverty, and environmental destruction — nine interconnected songs that flow like a single piece of music, lush with orchestration, jazz harmonics, and Gaye's layered, aching vocals. Rolling Stone named it the greatest album ever made. It remains as urgent and heartbreaking today as the day it was released. This 2021 Tamla/UMe limited edition reissue comes pressed on green translucent vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with a poster — a collector’s edition worthy of its place in history.
