Description
This limited edition 180 gram Vinyl LP is called What's Going On and is the eleventh studio album by the American soul singer Marvin Gaye. It was released in 1971, by the Motown Records subsidiary label Tamla. This was Gaye's first album to credit him as producer and to credit Motown's in-house session musicians, known as the Funk Brothers. What's Going On is a concept album with most of its songs segueing into the next and has been categorized as a song cycle. The narrative established by the songs is told from the point of view of a Vietnam veteran returning to his home country to witness hatred, suffering, and injustice. Gaye's introspective lyrics explore themes of drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War. He has also been credited with promoting awareness of ecological issues before the public outcry over them had become prominent ("Mercy Mercy Me").
