Before WHAT'S GOING ON, R\u0026amp;B albums were collections of singles, with\r\nsecondary \"filler\" material rounding out the LPs. Marvin Gaye changed all\r\nthis by releasing a concept album that went beyond the usual boy-meets-girl\r\nscenario, weaving together an aural collage of societal ills. \"Crime is\r\nincreasing\/Trigger-happy policing\", from \"Inner City Blues (Make Me\r\nWanna Holler)\", is as potent a line today as it was over 20 years ago, and\r\nwith the country still divided over the Vietnam War, the title track became a\r\nrallying cry for peace.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDark, mercurial, and jazzy, WHAT'S GOING ON was as radical musically as it was\r\nconceptually. Layered with lush orchestrations, heavenly background vocals, and\r\nloose, fiercely grooving arrangements, WHAT'S GOING ON so surpassed anything\r\npreviously known as soul music that it virtually reinvented the genre. The critical and\r\ncommercial success of Gaye's opus also enabled other artists to break free from\r\nthe creative shackles imposed by Motown and other companies, and to experience\r\nmore autonomy in musical and thematic expression, thereby changing the industry.\r\nIn short, the musical and historical significance of WHAT'S GOING ON cannot be\r\noverestimated; it was Gaye's masterpiece, and still stands as one of the\r\ngreatest soul albums of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
