Número 1 da lista de 500 Melhores Albuns de sempre da Rolling Stone, o incrivelmente influente What's Going On de Marvin Gaye é puro génio soul e um documento intemporal sobre as questões urbanas, laborais, preocupações ambientais e responsabilidade social que são tão relevantes hoje como no seu lançamento em 1971. Gaye revolucionou a Motown e elevou a fasquia para todos os seus colegas artistas.
