Summer of 1972, graduated from grammar school, and starting Freshman year of Highschool come September. Forced bussing just starting. What a first two years of highschool I was about to have. Riots for about 2 years or so. People tryin to stop the bussing. In 2023, race relations pretty much as volatile. I never would have believed it. I know this whole album by heart. I can sing every word. It's inside of me. Real life problems between Father and Son, leads to tragedy. Marvin lost. I sometimes wonder what music of his would have followed. Rest in Peace, Marvin 💙🎗️🕊️✨
Marvin was on a mission from a higher power,his music will be forever,his love for humanity was something that he really wanted to make this world a better place for everyone, especially for our children,and more importantly our world,rest in peace my brother, you're gone, but never forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is the most prolific song ever written. Mr. Gaye was way ahead of the times. This song is more relevant more today than ever. You and your music are so missed.
Amen Amen Amen...imagine what the world might be, what our own lives might be, if the focus of "adults" was helping our children be the physically, mentally, and spiritually best they can be? What would we be doing with our own lives giving all for their lives and their children's lives for seven generations and more to come????
Yes, the music stands the test of time. But, the greatness of the "What's Going On" album, is how it was Outstanding in a period of great music, of many genres. Lots of great music in the '70s.
MARVIN GAYE'S ALBUM WHATS GOING ON Should be in every BLACK HOME TODAY ! This is the REAL BLACK ALMA MATER! I can remember when this ALBUM came out in 1971. Every window, juke Box etc. Was all that you heard Marvin Gaye,What's going on. During that time there WAS LOVE in the NEIGHBORS, People danced in the streets from the music because it blared out of the Windows of the MAJORITY of homes. It was those Beautiful summer days and nights. You could party without being threaten. There was Nothing but Love and joy no matter what folks were going through. The smell of Fried Chicken, Collard greens and you knew That Potato Salad was also on the menu. Folks would invite you into their homes just to eat,get your Lil drink on and party! It was a beautiful time with Beautiful people. I had to replace the album twice because I wore the vinyl off of it. Now I have the disk and CDS. My how I long for those good times but there gone and I THANK GOD that me and the people that enjoyed those had and still treasure them. This Album should be in every home because it told of the times then back in 1971 and now. Nothing has CHANGED ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR. MARVIN WAS BEFORE HIS TIME AND LEFT A LEGACY. THIS IS DEFINITELY A BLACK ALMA MATER! GOD BLESS YOU, MR.GAYE BECAUSE YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH THEN THAT WE'RE STILL LIVING NOW!!,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look around the world Marvin Prosperity this Album listen to the wordswhen i hear these songs it bring tears to my eyes God we need you now help your children's please 🙏 ❤
💕💯.the man was a musical LEGEND still have this album here I am once again playing"what's going on" Well Marvin if you could see the world we live in today we are right back where we were about 40 yrs ago how relevant this song is today.With the riots happening right now in america racism still present, and this whole pandemic you can ask again whats going on A LEGEND YOUR timeless music lives on💕💯 A Musical Genius Rest In Heavenly Peace Marvin gaye.🎤
He was concidered to be a rebel of secular music of his time., Going against the grain. With such a silky smooth voice the music producer's wanted him to be what they wanted him to be, . But you have to be chosen by GOD to be so vicarious and conscience to put your heart into songs like that. Thank you to the the late great Marvin Gaye.
This song makes me cry when I see kids crying when they wonder why their houses and schools are being bombed in Ukraine. God give the people of Ukraine STRENGTH. AMEN!
Your sentiment is shared and appreciated. It's encouraging to know that God does in fact give strength to any of His creation by way of knowledge, accurate knowledge of Him, his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, and His long ago foretold words He via holy spirit inspired man to write in a compil ation of 66 books from Genesis to Revelation called the Holy Scriptures (Bible) The up evil in the Ukraine is tragic indeed, yet believe it or not it's a part of prophecy. As you're probably well aware of, we humans are living in the "last days" as also foretold biblically long ago.
@@paulgilbert8326 Mr Gilbert, are you aware that posting the two words, "no comment" is in fact commenting? Simply not replying at all is synonymous with the with the words, "no comment". However, if someone asked you for your opinion on a certain topic or issue, then you replied "no comment"... just something to contemplate.
Wars are happening globally and it shows us simply how evil our so called leaders really are . Murdering our children, brothers , sisters , parents . Pure evil .
How “did” these beautiful people who had so much knowledge for life which sustain you in a blink of ‘an” eye artistry never reached its full potential if we learn from the things that was said by him then he have completed what he was trying to do .true music
Each day Marvin’s lyrics live on. When I watch the World News these words ring out in my mind with echoes of Mercy, Mercy Me, Save the Children and God is Love are forever mounted in my heart. Like non other this Artist was before his own time. God’s Returned Child!!
Tears in my eyes listening .. Taking me back to when I was a little girl, when flowers grew beautifully in the cities and now the flowers have all gone astray along with the many grasshoppers and butterflies we used to see. OH MERCY MERCY
Listening to Marvin music today; it hasn't failed the music industry and it hasn't failed society. It will to be played and listen to by all generations for many years to come. Marvin Gaye was a Godsend. His music is a blessing to our souls. As someone wrote he left us with enduring gifts. Good looking too. He was a winner 💯% without a doubt. Thank you Mr. Gaye for allowing us to meet you. Miss you and love you Mr. Gaye
Marvin’s What’s Going On album was a game changer in the music industry. Many tried but never duplicated the overwhelming success of this masterpiece. Marvin is the GOAT
J Henderson, Marvin What's Going On album is a superlative endeavor, indeed. The tracks entitled Save the children and God is love are Nice! It's interesting, however, that many feel as you expressed... that he's the Greatest Of All Time. It's nice to know that Marvin is asleep as brought out in the bible book of Ecclesiastes 9:5. Then he will be resurrected again according to the Bible book of Acts 24:15. It is interesting however that the son of God, Jesus Christ, will be assigned by his Father to do the judging again according the Holy Scriptures or Bible at Matthew 25:33 ..where he ... will put the SHEEP on his right, but the GOATS on his left. The point is that while Marvin Gaye was indeed a good vocalist, the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) doesn't Marvin.
Marvin’s handlers never wanted him to do these message songs but Marvin did it anyway. Thank God. These types of songs were his very best. The moguls in the music industry didn’t GET IT. That’s Why Marvin went to Belgium for over a year. He was fed up.
@@laraoneal7284 I appreciate your historical insight regarding the career/ life cut short for the vocally versatile Marvin Percy Gaye.. I'm from the Bay Area and was residing there when the What's Going On, and Let's Get On albums were released. Yeah prior to the release of those two master pieces by MPG, I though, a kid, also enjoyed other melodies and ballads such as his collaboration with the late Tammy Terelle and can even vaguely remember listening to Pide & Joy, Stubborn Kinda fellow, and Hitch be Hike on Motown's Tamla label. But in terms of lacking the insight you shared, I never knew that MPG took a sabbatical of refuge overseas in another country for an entire year!
@@judyrobinson8681 Classic yes. I consider it the top album ever. So glad I was alive when he released it, and content knowing the fact it will live on for man many generations to come, as in eternity. 😊
God Bless you Dan; for putting this "WORD OF TRUTH" OUT THERE. VERY RELEVANT TO THIS WICKED ERA WE LIVING IN ; HERE & NOW"!!? AMEN....REVELATION KNOWLEDGE IS TO " THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR"!! AMEN
Tears in my eyes beautiful but Marvin had GIFT of seeing the things to come. The gift was a blessing and curse,so he grieved himself into addiction. Listen to his soul cry!!!
I'll Always love ❤️ Marvin's Music. Our generation has been Blessed with the Best that God could give us. The Rest is left up to Us. Thank God for all Great artist like Mr. Marvin's Gaye. ❤️ 😍
Sitting here in the nursing home dining area knowing my energy is almost gone. I didn't do much to try and save the children. God is my friend though 🖤
SWEETHEART 💖 JUST KEEP ON PRAYING AND BELIEVING 🙏 AND HAVE STRENGTH! BECAUSE I'M SICK MYSELF LIVING WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS! BUT ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD 🙏 HE KNOWS EVERYTHING AND HE GIVES ME MY STRENGTH! AND HE'S THE ONE WHO STRENGTHENS ME!
God is my Friend, he loves us all. Too bad many are not loving Him back. I love the Lord, Amen, and thank Him for Marvin Gaye who He loaned to us for a little while. God Bless All.
MLW, may I please ask you a question to ponder or think about regarding friendship or being considered a friend of another? Can two people be friends if the hardly know each other? Or can two people have different understandings of the definition or meaning of friendship and still be considered "friends? Or if two individuals have lifestyles that the other does not condone, can they still be considered friends? Also, does knowing another person for a long time - years - does that automatically make them "friends"? Believe it or not, many people around the world have different meanings/ideas of what comprises true friendship. Contrary to what many people around the world believe, GOD is not friends with everyone, especially those who haven't learned what God Iike's and doesn't like, and why. I've learned that friendship is a mutual arrangement. So if one person considers another to be a friend, yet the other person doesn't feel the same way, then there is no friendship. Real talk.
I cry off this Album this far by the best in the World My brother brought it back from Vietnam. He had to go to Vietnam! Those were hard times for my family with my brother being gone in 1972 I lost another brother he was 20 I was 10 that almost killed my family he was 20 with two year old daughter who never got to spend time with her she missed out on her father! Yall all stay blessed I said enough didn't mean too.❤️
What the hell was Marvin Gaye on when he made this album ? It just makes me cry........such a musical genius, such magical songs, The choir, the musicians, the instruments. The album has to be one of the best albums ever made....just has to be.
😍🎶 These are my top 3 favorite songs of all time. He was truly blessed! Have listened to them all my life since he released this album, Best & most sincere lyrics ever! 🎶 Save the Children, 🎶 God is Love, 🎶 Mercy Mercy me! So thankful for his music! He was best! 💯🙌🎶🎤👍💔❤️
“All he ask of us is to Love each other” save the children, sad world. Live for Life, Mercy Mercy me. God is my Father. Love you and Miss you Marvin. 😢 🙏RIP you will always live in our ❤️. Thank you so much for uploading this song. Sending everyone reading this Blessings and Prayers and much Love ❤️ Hope and Faith to you and yours. 🙏 Amen 🙏 xxx 🙏🤗❤️🌹🙏 💫God Bless💫
Ms Jeanette, I too enjoy listening to this song and the entire album. I vividly recall when it was released in 1971. Lyrics are important to truly listen to and comprehend more so than the melody, beat, etc Many songs are DEBASING. If back then when listening to such volcalist as the Dramatics, Bobby Womack, Johnny Taylor, Wilson Picket, the Temptations, etc, many of their songs had wonderful musical production. Yet the lyrics were another story. In Marvin's song " all he ask of us is to give each other Love. Do you know that a plethora of Humans around the world do not accurately know what the virtue of Love actually is? An individual who truly knows what the virtue of LOVE is should therefore know what the types of LOVE are, the origin of LOVE, the epitome of LOVE is, and most importantly what the Personification of LOVE is.
He was way ahead of his time gone too soon, and look at the world today, such a bad way too live, as he says in one of his songs, I listen too Marvin Gaye songs every day. He was such a CLASSY man, we will never here music like Marvin Gaye again I love me some Marvin Gaye, he was so talented,❤️❤️❤️🥰😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Marvin was the best to ever do it, hands down! But what many don't know is that Marvin didn't write the lyrics to his many outstanding songs, although I'm sure he collaborated with Leon Ware who came up with the lyrics. Marvin did however do all the vocals. Lead, background, and any voice that you hear is all Marvin. He was a genius...ahead of his time. Creating background melodies with his bad self. He was the only voice. So friggin amazing. There will never be another Marvin!
Phenomenal Music taught Children 41 Years in Miami Loved My Job & My Students, Yes Jesus is My Best Friend , I'm 72 but I can Holy Ghost Walk Everyday 👣🙏💗
It seems like every time I listen to these songs I have to make a comment. This time again must state that this is the greatest album in the history of recorded music! I must add there is pure genius in the arrangement of the individual songs. If so much genius, love, prophecy and devotion could be placed in all music maybe we would live in a far better world!
The music people that handle the radio stations need to put Marvin music out here so people will listen and do what right as far as saving the children and see what's really going on.
Omg my mother played this all the time....way back in the 70s!!!!!! dang mama you're gone and this old world is all messed up,Marvin knew and you did too mama!!!!!!!
This was Marvin’s vision. If this album turned out the medley that he wanted this would be the greatest piece of work of the 20th century. It sucks that Berry Gordy put a governor on that.
HIs music is just as true today as when he recorded it. So what are we gonna do people? We got to save the babies!!!!Give them a better world than the one we live in now!!!
There are songs that God can dance to. Marvin made such songs. For you see God's dance is no small matter. All heavens stand up. Souls of all mankind gather up. Life in its pure form take shape.
THANK YOU MR.GAYE FOR GIVING US INSIGHT ON WHAT WAS TO COME . YOU EDUCATED US ON LIFE AND IT'S EXPECTATIONS BLESS YOU AND ALL THE OTHER PROPHETS FROM YESTERYEAR SOUL NEVER FORGOTTEN 🌹🌱🌈💜📜⚔️😍🧔🏾🙏🏾....
