what's going on - marvin gaye (instrumental)

[thevidiotkid]

Reportedly, the last sessions ever done at Motown Studio A in Detroit were for this album. And, in typical record industry style, the musicians were not told their jobs were permanently outsourced to others in L.A. until after these tracks were completed.A great send-off for the Funk Brothers,wasn't it?

And, is it only me and lots of other fans that feel SOMETHING was never quite as good in those L.A. Motown releases compared to their Detroit output?
