One of the greatest albums of all time.
I would say the greatest, given the times.
Anti war, anti hate, anti racism, anti cruelty and pro- human
We could sure as hell use a lot more of ALL of those right now.
@@atimtambaby I AGREE.......Concept is very simple.....unfortunately hard to create.....
@@trutymeproductions5478 I'm not perfect by any means (he last guy who was, was nailed to a cross), but though I'm an old fart, I gotta keep trying to see all of us as of the same race (human), to be kinder, less cruel, realize war-what's it good for? Huh Absolutely nuthing!
In my opinion, one of the ten best records ever made. Just perfection from start to finish.
That is a classic amongst classics and a piece of history! A great choice Verdy!
Best song/album........EVER. Hope you like it half as much as I do. Thanks for sharing.
Peace, love, great message, and good music; great album!
You’re gonna love this. Some of the best soul music of all time.
Thanks for this, so good! Greetings from Detroit, founded by the French, where this music was made. Barrie Gordie the head of Motown records had the best backing musicians, jazz players and the best arrangers anywhere. Yes Verdy, you heard a whole violin section playing perfectly. This album came out at a wild, creative and pivotal time! Marvin Gaye was a genius well ahead of his time!
Great album choice! What a classic and still relevant today!
Always relevant
This is an iconic album. Glad to see you enjoying and appreciate Marvin Gaye’s music.
An album that shook the foundations of the world.
This album is filled with powerful messages of hope and dialogue that reaches everyone. They don't make them like this anymore and sadly, the world suffers from the poorly made repetitive music from today's greedy and deaf music industry.. No real color or creativity anymore. Marvin's voice is beautiful in these soul, R&B and funky urban grooves.
fantastic. Try
The 5th Dimension ...
Aquarius....
Let the Sunshine In
Ed Sullivan Show
Marvin introduces us to the reality of the moment. Great reaction, Merci. RIP Marvin.
All these songs tie together like a long medley. It´s quite an experience to listen to it without a paus. Highly recommended. Also, very important lyrics. Marvin Gaye hadn´t done political songs before this, but he wanted to speak his mind. This was frowned upon by his record company Motown, but in the end it was allowed, and this is the album that came from it.
Grew up near Sacramento in the 60s and 70s with an fm station called KZAP, a Cheshire cat was the mascot. they played rock, fusion, blues, folk, and depending on how stoned they were maybe jazz and classical. Also a station out of San Francisco that I can't remember the call letters of. It played all of the Motown stuff, RnB, Marvin, Al Greene, Aretha, James Brown, tons of great stuff. A cheap transistor raidio and those stations are some of the greatest gifts of my life.
Whatever genre you and I enjoy, we can come to an agreement that this is a masterful piece of music. ✌️ ❤
2:20 "The bass!" And of course, Verdy is right. It's the great James Jamerson on bass, playing as freely and imaginatively as he ever did.
Ugh, such a loss, shot and killed by his own father. 😮💨🥺😓
Try his duet songs with Tammy Terrell
Greatest album ever.
Vietnam Era. Riots in the black communities. That's the backdrop. Thanks. I appreciate You appreciating.
I Remember those days
"What's Going On" is such a beautiful song. How sad it's just as relevant today.
Great to see verdy again. Great to hear this peaceful classic again❤
Love watching you discovery great music.
Mostly, that is the great, the most excellent, James Jamerson on the bass.
Strings. At that time keys weren't capable of mimicking other sounds.
I think Bongo Drums is the instrument you are trying to describe.*
*spelling mistake
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell from Philadelphia, were a force to be reckoned with. Tammi passed at the age of 24 from a brain tumor, she was a little Queen ❤😊
Brings back such fond memories !!!
Check out the soundtrack for a movie titled "Leaving Las Vegas" some good jazzy pieces in there. Horns, strings and everything. It's not a bad movie either, though its probably not for everybody. Slick.
The Funk Brothers, and the legendary James Jamerson on the bass
Unfortunately after 50 yrs little has changed. This album was sent from the heavens through Marvin to us. The greatest to ever pick up a bass James Lee Jamerson on bass... word is, he played this laying down on the floor in the studio. He was unable to stand but could play the hell out of that bass.
Killer choice! 🔥💥
He was amazing. Thank you for this choice.
The title track is one of my favorite songs of all time.
It's refreshing to see young people appreciating what came before them as we did. Great reaction to a Classic album. Check out Stevie Wonder "All I do".....
Marvin sung all the background vocals in this track as well as the lead.
It was the first time that sort of layering of sounds was done on a studio album. The magnum opus of a truly great artist.
Fantastic album... Churr..
I'm enjoying your natural groovin' to this album , james jamerson as one with the bass! Try " for once in my life" by Stevie wonder.. enjoy all the motown songs where he gets his groove on!
If I remember correctly, (I’m 73, so maybe not 😊), Berry Gordy didn’t think this album would sell. EVERYONE LOVED IT!
One of the great works of art of the 20th century.
The bass player was the great James Jamerson . one of the best bass players of all time
This is considered the first R&B concept album about life in the USA after the war in Vietnam, that's why each track flows into each other. James Jamerson was the bass player on this album and he was famously drunk during the sessions but was still so focused. I've watched numerous album reactions from you and I'm always impressed with your listening ears. Even though you may not know the instruments. you can hear perfectly what the producer doesn't wany to miss. Love that you're doing this album. Cheers.
Masterpiece album ✅✅💯💯👍🏾👍🏾
I so love this album but the best track has got to be inner city blues one of the all time greatest tracks ever
Legendary bass line by the immortal James Jamerson! (on What's Going On, What's Happening Brother, Flyin' High, Save the Children and God is Love. Mercy, Mercy Me has Bob Babbitt on bass.)
The Great Funk Brothers Rhythm section, with the incredible James Jamerson, and Bob Babbitt playing Bass guitar.🎶
Thank you Verdy. I find this wonderful album brilliant, but also heart breaking.
Very cool that you pointed out 2 very significant ingredients right in the beginning, actually 3: the incredible & legendary electric bass work of the late James Jamerson, who played on some of Motowns’s greatest hits. The other being the and hand drums called congas, as they are played by hand.🪘 Of course, the way Marvin’s voice fits is the swinging light as well as the icing. He was one of the leaders of multi-tracking, which is recording his voice on top of what he had already sang, almost as a counterpoint, and along with the real strings, yes violins, violas cellos & contrabass, it becomes a magical work that remains artistically & socially valid today. Very good reaction!👍
Jamerson was pioneer of the electric bass. The 'bass players bass player' in the sixties
Ive seen Verde play whole albums by Boston, Ban Halen and Led Zeppelin and completely love them. Its nice to see her check out the late great Marvin Gaye.
Lyrical content verdy?
imagine his sorrow for children today
Although you appreciate the musicianship, this album is deep, please take some time and listen to the words.
Perfect record
A true masterpiece.
When this album came out, it was so uniquely different than all he other music of that time. It was just phenomenally mind-blowing.
Class
There is a separate mix to What’s Going On, called the Detroit Mix, that was intended to be the release version. However, 2 weeks before its release, Marvin completely remixed it in LA. The two versions are quite different: the percussion in the Detroit Mix is typically much further up front in the mix than in the original.
Keep smiling Ari.
Great album. Great reaction!
This is one of those albums that is a historical event. Like Led Zeppelin IV, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon, Stevie Wonder's Innervisions. This never gets old.
Can't wait for your reaction to side 2, especially "Inner City Blues." Crushed me the first time I heard it, and I've never really recovered.
Oh, that's a thought. Would be great for Verdy to react to Innervisions or Songs in the Key of Life.
Verdy ....this is the funk bros backing up Marvin with the great James Jamerson on a Fender Precision Bass known as the "hook" as he used on his right index finger to pluck notes on the right hand and would drag it across the strings in a run down the scale and was so tight and funky..........what a record.........among the best albums ever..........
At the height of the Vietnam war. This Song is Beautiful & Haunting ❤
The bass by the legendary James Jamerson
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and interpretation on what Rolling Stone Magazine says it's the NO#1 Album of all time. Side note of this. Genius Marvin Gaye is the first person on an album to have Layer his Vocals into having inter thought conversations. Very unique at that time in 1971.
Dope reaction...not sure how it came up in my recommended ...but im glad it did :)
Verdy, I subscribed and keep coming back to your channel because I love the way that YOU love music. Unlike some reactors, you don't just enjoy what you hear, you really appreciate it. Music is the #1 passion in my life, and it seems like it is for you too. Stay true to that.
I think you missed the meaning with the words of the songs and what they represent it.Yeah the music was great but I think the songs themselves when over your head
If you love the sax, check out New York State of Mind by Billy Joel!!!
When we were coming together as a nation. Don't let them divide us.
First time I heard What's going on I cried so hard. The whole album is perfect from start to finish.
Absolutely wonderful!!❤
As said below, you have to hear the album in one go, as a lot of it is one whole song. Also, check this track out from the deluxe edition. Absolutely gorgeous. ua-cam.com/video/KYdlXn5YbT8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MarvinGaye-Topic
Real Violin's, real Cellos, all strings etc.
Would have loved to hear your thoughts on the lyrics. Very powerful even for today.
Play it again sometime and let the tracks run into each other - amazing musical transitions.
I saw pure joy on your face. Good job. ❤
Inner City Blues video is fantastic by Gaye.
One of the greatest albums ever made, from its lyrics, music, vocals, engineering, mixing, cover design--the complete package!
This album is pure magic
she has so much natural beauty ❤ 😊
The instrument that you were wondering about is bongos .
That is the second part of the first song what's going on
Hi!! can you react to "Pneuma" by Tool? :)
You’re hearing real strings and horns.
Jezzzzzzzzzzz... You've got SOUL....
Just as relevant an album today as it was the day it was released. Timeless beauty.
Just pure perfection. ❤
One of his most memorable live performances was singing the National Anthem at the NBA all star game. ua-cam.com/video/p2KYZ1BritY/v-deo.htmlsi=QeSLaVuey8MCZ0c6
I love your channel and what’s going on by Marvin Gaye is my favourite album of all time👍💚
As a mostly rock/indie fan this is one of the few albums that I don't need to skip AT ALL. So good, so ahead of its time, still relevant.
French Jaws channel
Have this album. Whats going on is a great song! Los lobos covered yhis song and they did Marvin Gaye proud 👍
Great songs
❤
This was the great studio band , the funk brothers . they were the backbone for all the great music from motown .
I think the bass is James Jameson one of the all time greats from the funk brothers
The bassist is the legendary James Jamerson. He influenced so many bassists, contemporaries and those who followed. This album has a very interesting history -- worth investigating just how it got made.
