What's Going On is the eleventh studio album by soul musician Marvin Gaye, released May 21, 1971, on the Motown-subsidiary label Tamla Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in June 1970 and March--May 1971 at Hitsville U.S.A., Golden World and United Sound Studios in Detroit, Michigan and at The Sound Factory in West Hollywood, California.
The first Marvin Gaye album credited as produced solely by the artist himself, What's Going On is a unified concept album consisting of nine songs, most of which lead into the next. It has also been categorized as a song cycle, since the album ends on a reprise to the album's opening theme. The album is told from the point of view of a Vietnam War veteran returning to the country he had been fighting for, and seeing nothing but injustice, suffering and hatred.
What's Going On was the first album on which Motown Records' main studio band, the group of session musicians known as the Funk Brothers, received an official credit. The album features introspective lyrics and socially-conscious themes about drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War. What's Going On was both an immediate commercial and critical success and has endured as a classic of early-1970s soul. A deluxe edition set of the album was released on February 27, 2001, and featured a rare live concert shot at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center where the singer was given the key to the city.
In worldwide critics', artists' and public surveys, it has been voted one of the landmark recordings in pop music history and is considered to be one of the greatest albums ever made. In 2003, the album was ranked number 6 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

  • je kan mooi zingen :)

  • @Combinia :D

  • @Smargiasso33  well i have a tip: place the guitar on the floor with the neck facing the ceilling, now grab the barre position and lift it from the floor with one hand, you will hear all the notes are pretty sound when you play em , now just flip it horizontally and you have the perfect position :) ( i hope you understand this explanation if not ill show it on video one time its a real easy little trick ^^)

  • @Combinia thanks dude!! Blessing year to you :)

    How much did it take to play any barre correctly for u? clear notes apart, i mean to make it sound correctly and not with sharp notes (for pressing down too much some notes more than the others) ?? cheers mate :)

  • @Smargiasso33 heeey my friend! happy new year :D

    and indeed, its a left hand killer xD

  • great job Davy! this looks tiring for the left hand since it's all barre chords ;)
