Marvin Gaye: What's Going On (180g) LP | Vinyl

The eleventh studio album by American soul musician Marvin Gaye is titled What's Going On. Tamla, a subsidiary label of Motown Records, released it on May 21, 1971. The record is a concept album that may be described as a song cycle because the majority of the tracks flow into one another. The songs create a story from the perspective of a Vietnam veteran who is returning home and encounters injustice, sorrow, and prejudice. Gaye delves on themes of poverty, drug misuse, and the Vietnam War in her reflective lyrics. Additionally, he is acknowledged for having raised public awareness of ecological issues prior to the public's protest over them becoming widely known ("Mercy Mercy Me").
