It was the title song of a concept album about a Vietnam War vet returning home and finding nothing but injustice and hatred, and Marvin produced it himself. The Funk Brothers, who had driven the Motown sound for years, finally got album credit. It’s one of the most important Motown recordings ever made and a landmark in American popular music. There’s nothing quite like it. It came in at #2 this week.

Marvin Gaye: “What’s Going On”

[luvie]

You’re very welcome, Kathy! (((hugs)))
