LOS ANGELES, April 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — On May 21, 1971,
Motown Records released an album unique to its vast, already classic
catalog: a suite of protest songs, railing, albeit softly and with an
undeniable groove, about the planet’s woes and the pain of war. With What’s Going On, Marvin Gaye
forever changed the sound and subject matter of popular music,
influencing and inspiring every generation since. Formerly Motown’s
reigning smooth-faced, smiling, mass-appeal artist, this album was
Gaye’s departure for the bearded, brooding, reflective, angry artist he
would become. His first self-production, the album was written, sung and
solely produced by Gaye. To continue, please click “MORE”!
