iTunes Review
Personal tragedy and professional frustration combined to lead Marvin Gaye into an extended period of inaction. When he reemerged, it was with a new kind of soul record, one that gave voice to his (and many others’) anger and worry. The Vietnam War, widespread ghetto drug abuse and a damaged environment all fed What’s Going On, an orchestrated suite that reflected the influences of jazz and rock more than those of the Motown hit machine that had fed Gaye’s career up until then. Famously, the label initially balked at the title single, but after its hit potential was proven, Gaye quickly completed the accompanying LP. The first in his long line of concept-driven albums, the vocally gorgeous What’s Going On is still many listeners’ favorite among Gaye’s albums – and all albums. This remastered edition includes two alternate bonus versions of “God is Love” and “Flyin’ High (in the Friendly Sky)” (“Sad Tomorrows”) from original 45-rpm releases.

Flawless, perfect.
by Mr. Old-SchoolWhat's Going On is an absolute classic album for Marvin Gaye, Motown, R&B, and music in general. Nobody will ever craft an album this fantastic again. I can't recommend the album enough, buy the entire album and play it all the way through.
Transcendant
by MohaskiI was aware of Marvin Gaye during the seventies, and enjoyed his music whenever I heard it, but never really appreciated it fully until sometime in the late nineties- that's when I read an editorial piece in a computer gaming magazine of all places, in which the writer expounded on why he thought Marvin Gaye's 'What's Goin' On' was the deepest, most soulful, most meaningful, most significant, and just plain best album of it's time. He also used the word "transcendant". That editorial caused me to purchase the CD, and I found myself deeply moved by it, and in one hundred percent agreement with the writer. My taste in seventies music mostly consists of classic/hard rock, but I consider this to be one of the very best records to come out of that decade, if not the best. If I ever had to go live on a desert island and could only take one record with me, this would be it. It's beautiful.
A great piece of music.
