What’s Going On is Marvin Gaye’s eleventh studio album, released on May 21, 1971, by the Motown Records label Tamla. The album is a concept album, with a circular structure (the last song is a reprise of the introduction’s theme). Additionally, each song flows into the next one. The storyline is told from the point of view of a veteran returning home from Vietnam to find a country full of injustice, violence and oppression. Sonically, the album features soulful and passionate vocals, pulling influences from gospel and jazz. Although it spawned three hits, this was Motown’s first true album

What's Going On is not only Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, it's the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices, a man finally free to speak his mind and so move from R&B sex symbol to true recording artist.

Marvin Gaye: A Retrospective. Part One of Seven What’s Going On. In our society, true artistic visionaries are frequently undervalued, manipulated, and taken for granted - until they’re gone. Today, April 2nd, would have been Marvin Gaye’s 77th birthday. To pay tribute to the Prince of Soul, starting today and throughout the month of April I will be looking back on the albums that cemented his status as a creative force: his late-career body of work, from 1971’s What’s Going On through his final album, 1982’s Midnight Love. Today, I’m tackling the album that began Marvin’s creative renaissance: What’s Going On. For Marvin Gaye, the late 1960s were a period of great success and great turmoil. After years of churning out recordings as both a solo artist and as a session musician for various Motown artists, he was beginning to gain a following outside of the United States for the first time.
