Marvin Gaye – What's Going On
Marvin Gaye – What's Going On (1971)
The undisputed soulful masterpiece. Ranked #1 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
What's Going On represents a revolutionary departure from the Motown hit-machine, where Marvin Gaye fought for artistic freedom to deliver a unified, socially conscious masterwork. Blending soul, jazz, and gospel, the album flows as one continuous stream of consciousness. It matters as one of the most important cultural documents ever made. On vinyl, the suite-like flow of the music is perfectly preserved, with the analog warmth heightening the intimacy of Gaye's silky vocal and the richness of the orchestral arrangements.
Album Highlights:
- Voted the Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone
- Landmark socially conscious recording; essential for every collection
- Lush, orchestral soul production with unmatched analog warmth
