What’s Going On is Marvin Gaye’s eleventh studio album, released on May 21, 1971, by the Motown Records label Tamla. The album is a concept album, with a circular structure (the last song is a reprise of the introduction’s theme). Additionally, each song flows into the next one. The storyline is told from the point of view of a veteran returning home from Vietnam to find a country full of injustice, violence and oppression. Sonically, the album features soulful and passionate vocals, pulling influences from gospel and jazz. Although it spawned three hits, this was Motown’s first true album

What's Going On is not only Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, it's the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices, a man finally free to speak his mind and so move from R&B sex symbol to true recording artist.

Marvin Gaye my fav black singer ever. This is the greatest soul record of all time. Although the powers-that-were Motown didn’t even want to release the record, the unexpected success of What’s Going On, issued in 1971, inspired Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, and just about every other black artist on the planet to take greater responsibility for their music and its meaning. Gaye co-wrote the songs and produced the album, flavoring it with layer upon layer of his own multi-tracked vocals, oceans of hand percussion, strings, flutes, and jazzy horn solos. Spacey and loose as a spliff-fueled Sunday afternoon jam in the park, the nine songs all played like a hit single

Elaine from Waldorf, MdThe album "What's Going On" is in my opinion, one of, if not the best album of all time. The themes are timeless-war, poverty, drug addiction. I loved Marvin Gaye and I don't think there's another performer who comes close to him. Brian from Melfort, Sask, Canadaydur from Knoxville is not totally right, He Married Berry Gordy's Sister Anna from 1961-75, and he wasn't shot on his birthday, it was a day before his birthday
