  • In this video series, sit at the mixing console with Motown historian Harry Weinger and Questlove of The Roots as they unpack the tracks of Marvin Gaye’s 1971 chart-topping hit, “What’s Going On.”

    it's a mix of eeriness and beauty hearing Marvin's piano. He's gone but the emotion he played through the piano is very much still here.

    The most organic album ever produced by Motown, and in my top 10 albums of all time

      from a musical standpoint, Kind of Blue is a record you can listen to 1000 times. And Yellow Brick Road being a double album has a lot more variety on it. Ranking masterpieces is not fruitful. Also, Mr. Gaye considered his Trouble Man soundtrack to his greatest achievement; probably because he had never worked in long form before. If you like Marvin Gaye, be sure to watch the Koln orchestra tribute to Curtis Mayfield.@@HelloSpyMyLie

    I have never associated Marvin Gaye with a piano so when they played only that part of What's Going On, I thought in my mind of Marvin possibly sitting down in front of perhaps Berry Gordy and first playing the piano solo and it brought tears to my eyes! Then Quest Love stating that it made it sound in his opinion even a different song! Simply amazing! Wow 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵💜😘💙

      Should have gotten one of the OGs that was around. Paul Riser the motown string arranger is still around.
