What's Going On (1971) is the landmark album by Marvin Gaye, known for its soulful blend of social consciousness, smooth melodies, and jazz-infused rhythms. The album, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, addresses issues such as poverty, war, and civil rights, all through Gaye's deeply emotional and introspective lyrics. Tracks like "What's Going On," "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)," and "Inner City Blues" became anthems of the era, blending personal and political themes in a way that resonated deeply with listeners. The album's production, which featured lush orchestration and a seamless flow between songs, marked a departure from Gaye's earlier Motown work and helped to redefine soul music in the 1970s. What's Going On remains a timeless masterpiece, influencing generations of artists and listeners.
