Reseña
Considerado unánimemente como uno de los álbumes más importantes y revolucionarios de la historia, What's Going On es la obra que en 1971 transformó a Marvin Gaye de estrella del pop a profeta social. Este disco es un álbum conceptual sublime, una meditación profunda y conmovedora sobre la guerra, la pobreza, la ecología y la injusticia social, todo ello narrado desde la perspectiva de un veterano de Vietnam que vuelve a casa. Por esta razón, rompió todas las reglas de Motown.
Musicalmente, el álbum es una proeza. Marvin Gaye fusionó el soul con el jazz, la música clásica y los ritmos latinos, creando un tapiz sonoro sofisticado y etéreo. De hecho, las canciones fluyen una dentro de la otra sin interrupción, creando una suite musical de 35 minutos que debe escucharse como una única pieza. La producción, a cargo del propio artista, es exquisita, con arreglos de cuerda y viento que envuelven su voz multicapa.
En contra de la opinión del dueño de Motown, Berry Gordy, quien lo consideró "no comercial", el disco fue un éxito masivo. Además, su mensaje sigue siendo tan relevante hoy como entonces. En consecuencia, "What's Going On" no es solo un álbum; es un acto de conciencia, una obra de arte total que elevó la música popular a una nueva dimensión de profundidad artística y compromiso social.

(Al Cleveland/Marvin Gaye/Renaldo Benson)
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin'
Flowers won't grow, bells won't be ringin'
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try to save a world
That's destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today are really gonna suffer tomorrow
Oh what a shame, such a bad way to live
All who is to blame, we can't stop livin'
Live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, let's save the children
Let's save all the children
Save the babies, save the babies
If you wanna love, you got to save the babies
All of the children
But who really cares
Who's willing to try
Yes, to save a world
Yea, save our sweet world
Save a world that is destined to die
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh dig it everybody

(Marvin Gaye/Anna Gaye/Elgie Stover/James Nyx)
Oh don't go and talk about my father
God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
He made this world for us to live in, and gave us everything
And all he asks of us is we give each other love.
Oh ya
Don't go and talk about my father
Cause God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
He loves us whether or not we know it
Just loves us, oh ya
And He'll forgive all our sins
Forgive all our sins
And all He asks of us, is we give each other love.
Oh ya
Love your mother, she bore you
Love your father, he works for you
Love your sister, she's good to you
Love your brother, your brother
Don't go and talk about my father, He's good to us,
God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
For when we call in Him for mercy, Mercy Father
He'll be merciful, my friend
Oh, yes He will
All he asks of us, I know, is we give each other love,
Oh ya

Hey baby
That's alright people
I know that's alright
Oh, when we love each other
I know that's alright
Oh feel it, feel it
Oh everybody feel it
God know that's alright, yes
Some of us were born
With money to spend
Some of us were born
For races to win
Some of us are aware
That it's good for us to care
Some of us feel the icy wind
Of poverty blowing in the air
For those of us who simply like to socialize
For those of us who tend the sick
Ah, and heed the people's cries
Let me say to you
Right on
Right on, feel it
Yea, oh, oh, Oh Lord, Lord, people
And I say, Right on
Honey right on
For those of us who live
Where peace is craved
For those of us who live, uh-huh
Where hatred is enslaved, alright
For those of us who live a life
Yea, surrounded by good fortune and wealth
Talk about it
Those of us who live a life
Hey, hey, hey enjoying ourselves
For those of us who got drowned
In the sea of happiness
For the soul that takes pride in his God
And himself and everything else
Love
That's all it is
We need love
That's all it is
Oh, oh
Love, love
Love's the thing
Love, love, love, love
Sweet love, love
Wonderful love
Ah, true love, love
Love for your brother
Love, for God
Pure love
Love can conquer hate everytime
Give out some love and you'll find
Peace sublime
And my darling, one more thing
If you let me, I will take you
To live where love is King
Ah, ah baby, baby
Ah, ah, ah, baby
People, people
People who love and care
That's alright
Alright
Ah....

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long
