What's Going On
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2022 180gm Gatefold Reissue Of This All Time Classic In Gatefold. Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a masterpiece of soul music, released in 1971. The album reflects Gaye's social consciousness and his attempts to address the political and social issues of the time. It is considered one of the greatest albums of all time and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Against the wishes of Barry Gordy Marvin persisted on making "What's Going On," which is a poignant reflection on the state of the world and the need for love and understanding. Gaye's voice is smooth and soulful, and the instrumentation is beautifully arranged.

The album's themes of social justice, love, and peace are present throughout, as seen in tracks like "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" and "Save the Children." "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" is a powerful track that addresses the struggles of urban life and the need for change.
