I was a young man when this album came out. " Whats Going On " I was in the Preverbal "Shit hole" at the time. A place called Viet Nam. Marvin was with me, not the man. But his music. I always felt at that time, as well as today. This was one of the most prophetic albums ever written. This is one of the songs from my favorite singer of all time. Marvin Gaye and my favorite album of all time "What's going on" This entire album is amazing from start to finish. On vinyl, it was a rarity, One of those rare albums you dropped the needle on, sit back and you could listen to every song from start to finish on side "A" without ever having to get up to pick up the needle and skip a song. Side "B" had some awesome tracks on it as well.
The History behind this album was as equally as amazing as the Man himself. Mr. Marvin Gaye. In short, This album was Marvin's "Baby".
Motown at the time, felt it was to out there ( Extemporaneous ) too political and it would not sell . Marvin wanted it produced. it was very near and dear to him. This led to Marvin leaving Motown.
if you listen to side "B" 2nd track "Flying High In The Friendly Skies " In this song, listen closely, it is Marvin Gaye, describing his personal battle and experiences of his addiction to Heroin. Amazingly put to music and words. The album has other Great Songs. "Mercy Mercy me, "God is love".
This album is truly an insightful walk through the mind and soul of the man, the artist, we all know as Marvin Gaye.
Barry Gordy Believed it was too out there this album would not sell. Marvin left Motown and the album was produced and the rest, is music history.
Marvin, you are truly remembered. Thank you Marvin, for being there for me. As I, a young man of 18, walked through the valleys, of the shadow of death.
Rescate En Pace. Mr. Marvin Gaye.
Semper Fidelis

People.. this is not the first time we see this. I woke up to one of these songs in my head and throughout the day I remembered other similar songs of pain and protest. So I put this list down here to share with you all. I hope you listen to them all, enjoy, and hopefully it sets your mind in a place to *think*.

Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on

Yeah, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

That's true. Berry and the label's executives didn't want Marvin to record a protest album due to them fearing that it would damage his sex symbol image. Marvin didn't like being a sex symbol and stood his ground. Berry came to his senses and released the single and album which became a classic but earned the label millions of dollars. Marvin also got the opportunity to continue writing and producing his own music

Such a lovely song that reflects on so much that isn't so lovely, as is Mercy Mercy Me. He asked the question "why?" with such agonized beauty.

This song was written and released by Marvin Gaye in 1971. That was 51 years ago. It topped the charts in almost every genre of music and around the world.

Originally, it was written about a Vietnam vet coming home from war, but as the video shows, the narrative is still the same, but the sentiment still applies to so many people no matter who you are, TODAY!

I miss this singer and man every time I hear his songs and those songs written about him. This video deserves more than 86k in likes.

Thank you to the wonderful keepers of Marvin Gaye's music for putting this video together.

At the time that the artist Marvin Gaye wrote the song, he felt the need to express the pain and tears that North American society suffers as a result of racial intolerance, police violence, carrying weapons, drug use and selfishness. He experienced firsthand the humiliations, physical abuse, psychological violence of his father. He was an artist with great sensitivity.

Motown ended up produced and releasing "What's Going On", but the execs at Motown saw it as just a way to keep one of their biggest stars happy, so he would keep producing music for them. They expected it to be a total flop. Barry Gordy was leaving town, so he told another exec at Motown to tell Marvin that he had to redo the record, and that it wouldn't sell as it was. The other exec decided to release it anyway, but also expected it to flop. They were shocked at how well "What's Going On" did, and they never encouraged Gaye or their other singers to produce more music like it, even though it had great sales.

Although "I heard it through the grapevine" is far more famous, I consider "What's Going On" to be one of the greatest albums ever created, but its message was far too subversive for the record companies. I don't think I ever heard it being played on the radio when I was a child in the 70s and 80s. I only recently discovered it on YouTube. I often wonder what else Marvin Gaye could have produced if he hadn't been so hooked on drugs and had more stability in his life. We would probably think about him in the same way that we think about John Lennon.

Ooh, you opened the Pandora's Box. True that! It's more tragic than amazing, though for anyone who believes most people are good, it should be amazingly sorrowful we have not beat all the Injustice, social and environmental, back into the deep reaches of the cave. Marvin spoke to us back then when we were very worried about the future and we've been trying ever since to not allow all that crap to carry through to now. Some things have improved, and we know so much more now, but other things have not improved or become worse even though we know better.

The sign of a prophet is a poet who writes about what he sees in his heart and soul about the future of humanity. Beloved Marvin was our prophet during that time. His voice is still relevant to people because he spoke about their issues with life, not just his love life or romance. There were many prophets in the music of the 70s. WE need to return to that to open the blind eyes, disconnected from their souls. Where we are going being closed off to one another is a very dark, destructive and lonely place.

I cannot explain this to you, why, but something just popped in my brain. The Dear Reverend Billy Graham said, in one of his sermons where there were many Black Children of God in attendance, “Did you know that the man that helped Jesus carry the Cross, was a Black Man.” I’m not sure why, but that has stayed with me for Years. Just Respect for the Man I guess.

That’s the difference between the music then and music now. This kinda music will last decades and is still impactful today. Today’s terrible music doesn’t even last a year until it’s deemed irrelevant and no one will listen to it. Most of today’s rap doesn’t revolve around social issues or anything important, only money and drugs. Don’t get me wrong there are some amazing songs from recent years but none are as great as this kind of stuff.

Katykeema, James Brown is literally the King of Funk, that’s what the most people get wrong. He Created a special Funk Sound and danced to it like no one does before, so that was not soul typically , and they called it Funk.

James Browns biggest hits are the ones who are Funky and quicker,

Marvin Gayes biggest hits are the ones about problems in the society , and deep love songs, and that’s what i call Soul !

Not long ago I was standing outside a local YMCA waiting for my husband to come pick me up. A woman came out and stood near me, waiting. We started talking, because I had seen her in the pool earlier. As it turns out she was living out of her car with her partner. She had been laid off work during the covid pandemic and shut downs and could not pay rent, so she lost her apartment. The YMCA had been generous to let her use their facility and take a shower. I wanted to say a prayer for her but I felt too self conscious and I wasn't sure if she believed in God. All I could do was listen to her. I wished her the best and then hurried toward my husband's car as he pulled up. As I passed by her, she called out "God bless you!". We are all in this together my friends....

Marvin Gaye's brother, Frankie, had come home from Vietnam and Marvin wrote "What's Going On" about what was happening from his brother's perspective.

Marvin cut the song 'What's Going On" and Motown refused to release it. So Gaye said he said he'd boycott recording anything until "What's Going On" the single was released. It eventually was and became a #2 hit. The rest of the album was recorded in about 10 days.

"What's Going On" is a classic and timeless.
