Marvin Gaye - What's Going On? ( 50th Anniversary 2xLP, 180 gram)

What's Going On is the eleventh studio album by American soul singer, songwriter, and producer Marvin Gaye  Gaye recorded the album between 1970 and 1971 in sessions at Hitsville U.S.A., Golden World, and United Sound Studios in Detroit, and at The Sound Factory in West Hollywood, California. It was his first album to credit him as a producer and to credit Motown's in-house studio band, the 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 album ends with a reprise of the album's opening theme. 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.       TRACKLIST: 1. What's Going On2. What's Happening Brother3. Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky)4.
