The What's Going On album takes on many issues, including the environment ("Mercy Mercy Me") and poverty ("Inner City Blues"). It was the first album Gaye released that sold a lot of copies. Until then, like most Motown artists, he had lots of hit singles but album sales were secondary. According to the book Mercy, Mercy Me: The Art, Loves & Demons of Marvin Gaye, Motown head Berry Gordy initially refused to release this song, calling it the "worst record I ever heard in my life

What's Going On, a song cycle focusing on the shattered American dream of the early 1970s, melded a darkly atmospheric, jazzy sound with heartfelt lyrics about the country's military plight abroad and socio‑economic problems at home, to create what many still perceive as the apex of artistic musical expression. Released in May 1971, Gaye's 11th studio album cast the singer‑songwriter‑musician with the four‑octave vocal range - who had spent the past decade recording sensual R&B hits - in the role of a disillusioned Vietnam War veteran

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.

1 What's Going On. 2 What's Happening Brother. 3 Flyin High (In the Friendly Sky). The album, unveiled on 21 May 1971, was hailed by Billboard as a cross between Curtis Mayfield and that old Motown spell, and outdoes anything Gaye’s ever done. What’s Going On entered the magazine’s album chart very cautiously, at No. 187, but went on to reach No. 6 and spend a year on the bestsellers, fuelled by further major crossover hits with ‘Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)’ and ‘Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler).

The album, framed as a long lament told from the perspective.
