8 - Marvin Gaye - What's Going' On?


WHAT"S GOING ON?
What's going on?/What's Happening Brother?/Flying High (IN The Friendly Sky)/Save The Children/God Is Love/Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)/Right On/Wholy Holy/Inner City Blues Make Me Wanna Holler)

Partly inspired by the early death of singing partner Tammi Terrell, Gaye moved into an area of social and political comment. And came up with an album of great emotional weight, perfectly summing up the era in which he and his peers lived. Or rather, endured. Not only should this be in the list on grounds of taste but it should be part of the national curriculum...
