50 years later; little has changed. The question is,
"What's Going On?"
nothing...the world is the world
Society is brainwashing
Charles, amigo, yo me hago la misma pregunta...¿que nos está pasando como sociedad?...por Dios...
One big mess hatred violence and killing for what stupid is as stupid does peace to all all forever marvin gaye RIP ❤❤
🤞 I am turning 70th iam showing my grandchildrens about great black music with love passion truth understanding we will never forget🤞
No need for fancy videos. Just a turntable and a great album. RIP Marvin.
Music that we should listen to in these days
100 years from now this will still be relevant
It's halfway there already, and still relevant.
Sadly, it will
The peak of SOUL...1970 to 1974...this was the CROWN JEWEL...
still is amirite?
a guy I know worked in one of the big record stores in downtown DC when this record came out .. Motown wasn't expecting much in terms of sales, especially in "white" areas ... they sold more than 300 copies in their store on the first Saturday the record was released, and he said for the rest of the summer, " you couldn't go anywhere in DC without hearing this record blasting out of windows."
The first time I heard Marvin I was dancing in a Pub in London with my sister, I was 16, I said to her who’s this? It’s beautiful, we were both musically educated that day, I am now 66 and still listening to Marvin, he will always be my favourite artist and hers too. When I eventually get to the pearly gates I’m going to find Marvin and thank him for giving me so many years of lovely memories. 😊
50 years old today, the best record of all time
it only gets better after 50 bro, congrats! or Happy B'day :0)
@@andrefecteau voted Rolling Stone's # 1 album of all time
When we were very young, my cousin, sister and I listened to this over and over and over again. Every single day for years. We knew every note change and every word. Today I play it and cry with great memories and to see that nothing much has changed.....What a masterpiece.
You are always in my ❤ to the end.

Yes
Someone called this the greatest album of all time.....no argument from me.
it was smokey robinson

In Juli 2023 The German Rolling Stone voted the 500 best albums of all time. Nr. 2: Marvin Gaye Whatś going on. 🎉❤☮️✌🏻🤟🏽
👋🏽🥂🎉👍🏽💞
SERIOUS TURNTABLE ✨🪂✨🪄
My favorite 20min of music, I always come back to this
This is music with a message, still relevant today. Marvin made you feel it way down deep in your soul. Marvin is now singing with the Ancestors!
INDEED & AMEN!!!
He was one of a very few lyricists that spoke about what we were doing to the planet, and the poisons that we were putting into the earth, air, and sea. Such a strong spiritual side to him.
@@giovanna722 😊❤pz p
Memories come flooding back!
I feel like I'm back in the 70s
Beautiful, timeless music. One of the greatest albums ever made.
HE SINGS OF "EVERYTHING " GOING ON TODAY "INCREDIBLE " TALENT " MISSED " NO OTHER " 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼"BLESSING'S
Yes. One of the very best and my favorite album of all time since 1971
Thanks bunches! Love you to all listening in 2021
This album is so spiritual.
I sent it to all of my children.
One of the rare albums where each track is better than the one before it
Except Save the Children. It is as if he had to plant a blob of blight in the middle of a diamond. One of the worst songs ever made in the middle of one of the best albums ever made.
@@hanstun1 I gotta disagree, its a powerful message mixed with strings and James Jamerson (In my opinion) it is one of the best songs on the "A" side of the album. Obviously you can disagree but man those vocal runs by Marvin along with the bass playing by James really make this song shine.
@@sethunderwood5525 Production is superb and musicianship amazing, no argument from me there. The tune is alright. The lyrics and singing is what I take issue with. It comes across as syrupy, insincere and melodramatic. I used to own the LP back in the day and could put the needle down to exactly where he had stopped yelling "save the babies."
@@hanstun1 that makes sense to be honest, he does say "save the babies" a ton of times and it could be seen by some as kinda crazy.
@@sethunderwood5525 yea i would say side b gets better and better each song.
The music is stilling relevant after all these years standing the test of time listening 5-24-2021.
50 years ago #OnThisDay 21st May 2021
Everything Marvin did was a masterpiece. He was a genius ❤
Listened to this side almost daily while at school in DeKalb Illinois back in 1994. Great times with my best friend Pete.
PERFECT ALBUM
Agree. One of the few albums I'd consider perfect(others are Ziggy Stardust, Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zeppelin IV, 36 Chambers)
Whose listening in 2021 after the ca pitol inserrection police brutality and killing of people of color it's sad.
Paul Herman I've been listening to this album for over 30 years I'll still feel like it's the best album I will put on tell your kids to listen to this if they do you won't have to worry about you
when you think about singers you got to give it up marvin gaye was the best that ever did it
Genius. Marvin's legacy👏🏾
one of marvin gaye masterpiece
speaking about speaking about got to give it up that's another good song by Marvin Gaye
No artist can compare too Marvin Gaye and hell it’s been 30 years ago taken to soon but trust me never forgotten
Oh man, this brings back so many memories. Cool evenings standing in crowds with a lit candle, sitting “in” so you felt your voice was being heard, watching SO many boys and girls come home in a box. Marvin had it right…✌️😎
Just love this album! Still playing it on cd today ❤
I love to hear the static when the needle touches the groove in the beginning
same here
Is there even any on that which looks like a reference quality turntable?
@@Rhythmicons yeah it's mystical...like a V12 Ferrari 250
@@Rhythmicons I can hear it all through the track. IT adds 'warmth' ... a little roughness makes it sound better. Like sprinkling salt on a watermelon.
@@agnidas5816 It was a rhetorical question just commenting on the quality of the platter. I always wanted to hear those laser-equipped vinyl players that were 10K when they came out that looked like a huge CD player and supposedly got the laser down in the innermost reaches of the groove where the stylus couldn't reach. Additionally, the "warmth" probably is present without the pops and crackles. It is like modern tape delay emulators where they market wow flutter as a feature.
What's going on to our world our people???
ALL we need is love and peace this includs Brazil!!!!
I was 7 years old when I heard this song my favorite song
Woof, I didn't know this version, woof, that is really indescribable, I feel it deep inside me ... the new peaceful world, it will come! * God protect you!
Flying High, without ever leaving the ground. Dope
The Boy who makes slaves out of men…….
Marvin is right.we must save the children I live in Chicago where kids is being killed in drive by shooting daily. We must save the children..Marvin way ahead of his ⏲️..3..18..22
3 year old shot in Chicago..12..1..22 what's happening brother..save the children
Such a sad way to live
I loved this hold album since it came out In the early 70s and I still enjoy it today ( 2021 ) Amen.
Loved it then and love it now .. What sentiment and what words - Marvin the master of soul .. RIP
Totally awesome! Agust 2021 and still can't get enough of this!
The BEST song ever!!..bar none!!🎶🎵🇬🇧

My all time favorite. Marvin, what a gift. Thanks for uploading. Blessings.
This album reminds me of my youth and the inner city blues.
Funny how nothing really changes, some 30 years later.
MLK had a vision of change, but not much has really changed. The rich still pit the poor against each other with the usual tropes/ same ones over and over again. While they rob us blind and we fight each other.
Nobody can rob you unless you let them.
Yeah we had 8 years of a half black half white president and race relations actually got worse. I guess progress in history progresses and regresses. Ebbs and flows. The pendulum swings. But it is important for us to keep MLK and his dream in our hearts and minds. He was definitely "progress". Not these dividers in washington.
@@thomasball1933 There was backlash from racist who just couldn’t tolerate a black man as PRESIDENT, and started the whole birthism, Muslim crap. Every time blacks are making progress the jealous racist attack. As a whole I found different races more United under Obama, never seen anything like it in this country before.
As for ebbs and flows the racist are always racist that doesn’t ebb or flow. They’re just vocal in front of everyone now, and not just other racist friends, family, and people who stay silent, cuz that’s Trumps base and he was always dog whistling. Btw MLK is not the only black person who brought about progress, more currently. That includes OBAMA.
@@shellecapos8574 Obama just continued the Bush wars. He droned more people than W. Don't put your faith in these people. I am from Maryland where Thurgood Marshall was from. He is a very big figure in this state. While MLK was in the streets, Thurgood Marshall was riding trains all night across the south teaching black people Law. He was just as important, if not more, than MLK. Both were necessary. You needed both. So I agree with you there are many, many more black people who brought about progress. I always say we owe these people a debt of gratitude, they did all the heavy lifting. All we have to do is live the dream. Just stop bickering and live the dream. I think we did make progress with integration here in MD-DC-VA in the 60's such that my generation (born in 74) was bequeathed all the hard work of the previous generations, all the "revolutions" (civil rights, sexual, communications, etc). For us racism was obviously false, we grew up in an integrated world. (Plus here in MD we have ALL the races...literally everyone from the whole planet...very cosmopolitan here...probably because of the embassies in DC). The only ones who retained their racist ways had to be taught by their parents. And those people get less and less with every generation. So it does ebb. But then we have all this "divide and rule" tactics in the media...always trying to divide us. I always said the powers that be will have to work overtime to get the next generation to hate. But it sure looks like they are working overtime to divide us! It feels like it. So back to basics...back to MLK...back to the fundamental american dream...to live in peace. I was a tour guide on the mall in dc for several years. And Jefferson is my guy, defined America. Well the Jefferson Memorial on the mall is placed such that the statue inside is facing the white house. So TJ is keeping an eye on the president. The MLK statue is facing TJ, keeping an eye on him. MLK completed Jefferson's American ideal. And MLK was a true christian, a christ-like martyr. These guys handed us this country. All we have to do is live their dream...which is pretty good. We have this rich multicultural world now. All we have to do is explore it. We learn so much from all of these cultures. I also think there is nothing wrong with one people staying among their own kind, their own culture. Nothing wrong with that. It's when you start hating other cultures that problems arise, excluding them, dehumanizing them, etc. We are the great melting pot here. But also nothing wrong with preserving your own culture either. We are a nation of immigrants. We are all from "somewhere else". But once you get here you strive for the American ideal set forth by Jefferson and MLK. The declaration of independence and the bill of rights. That is America.
Excellent, nothing better than vinyl.
Here you can listen to this tune in best possible sound quality using original 1970s gear: ua-cam.com/video/mrRqViTfkvc/v-deo.html
Open Reel (7.5, 15, & 30ips) is better than vinyl :D
True, but when you think about it, we ARE listening to this in digital now. For me, it depends more on the sound system. Mr. Jamerson's bass is incredible on this.
Masterpiece.
Thank you.
God bless you.
PEACE
The small sound imperfections make it just perfect!
Brother Marvin helped through some insane times for a lot of us lit up Surviving teen soldiers running through the jungle flyin hi under the unfriendly sky .
Mis respetos Carl....
Want to thank you for uploading this. I worked in radio, as a young teen, back in the late 60's/early 70's & this was one of the many promotional album's (the record promoters use to give out) I was blessed to have received...kept it (& others) in pristine condition as you have it was "stolen" by my ex..when we divorced...along with many others...
(had to finally purchase on CD), but just not the same for some reason)...
Thank you...brought back so very many wonderful memories (I also was blessed to work for Motown, shortly after leaving KGFJ early 70's...) So much is said within the lyrics of a song... in each line, as well as between them. God bless you for this treasured find today!♡
The Most played album in Vietnam! When it came out! No matter what color you were. Everyone listen to it
Classic.
ALOHA FLYING HI IN DA FRIENDLY SKIES IS SO SAD CAUSE MARVIN ACTUALLY WAS SINGING AND CRYING OUT FOR HELP WITH HIS OWN LIFE SUCH A TRAGIC LIFE NOW HE SINGING WITH DA ANGLES FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST GOD BLESS ALL

This will always be one of the greatest of all time songs.
This is not only the best Motown album but IMO one of the greatest albums of all time. The whole record has a very poignant message that is still relevant today and the music really goes deep into your soul. A timeless masterpiece from an absolute genius.
