Hearing the multitracks of any song is always enlightening!

Often, yes. Especially with black music.

The beauty is the simplicity of each part creates the complexity of the song. Phenomenal!!!!

Hearing Marvin on the keys.. beautiful.

It's got to be one of the best songs ever written, as good a song by anyone you care to mention. The recording and the arrangement is stunning, nothing complex, no showing off, all simple parts that serve the song. Yet, when you put them altogether, it sounds dense and satisfying. Magic, that is what you are listening to, a wee slice of pure magic all captured on a wee spool of magnetic tape. The man isn't dead, he's just not here. BIG difference.

Al long as humans have the ability to hear, MARVIN WILL NEVER DIE

This particular song is a masterpiece. My favorite song of all time.

I sleep to the album its on almost every night. Incredible masterpiece. Never gets old and its deep too in terms of the messages in it.

Quest really appreciates music and knows what to touch and what not to touch, that Congo just touches my soul

Agreed! (Btw it’s “a”)

Any of us Marvin fans should be allowed to do this thing once in life.. C'mon that'd be a dream.. Wouldn't it? Can you imagine what a thrilling experience? Green with envy for the great Quest.. Mike

Imagine if there were a library that allowed you to do this. That I imagine would be a.musician's dream

it would be interesting to hear Questloves take on it today. he's always evolving musically . so cool to hear this

It’s cool that quest can hear at this level of detail!!

One of my top 10 all times albums and songs.

One of my favorite records. My sisters had it when it came out on 8 track I think. 69'? I would crawl under my sisters bed and just listen to the whole conceptual piece. I was 9 years old. They had the Beetles etc. But this record had soul. Thanks Marvin. Resting in Peace.

Jay John 1971 actually!

Questlove looked like he was going to cry there at the end. So cool!

Really beautiful song texturally and compositionally..

I could watch this all day, everyday.

You can find the master tracks online. You're able to do everything they are doing. It's surreal.

+Kola Aina Do you have a link? I would love to have those tracks.

Phenomenal breakdown of each instrument, the simplicity of each combined became an intensely profound powerful artistry, that will continue for many generations. Brilliant 👏

This is the way to sit and listen to you favorite song,,,, just Take it apart, and put it back together slowly

Hearing this for the first time makes me feel sad and great sad because Marvin is no longer here and great because I was around when this great if not the greatest MOTOWN composition to be made came out in 70 and I drove as fast as I could to buy this masterpiece and listen to it for 48 hrs pretty much straight. Thank you GOD for letting me live to hear it.

Goodness this is beautiful stuff to hear.

Could listen all day to this break down

Damn, all these parts alone sound great.

I desperately need more of this!! 😩

This is beautiful. 🥰

Very cool.

Maravilloso.

I never noticed a Rhodes piano. I thought I knew every sound in this song. The final mix was painstakingly meticulous. They rode the faders till the wheels fell off. It must’ve taken forever to mix this masterpiece. Marvin was in no rush.

I don’t hear it. Can you tell me where it is

These fellas will be digging for Marvin's gold forever, and they won't get enough time to do it all. Marvin is too precious, too deep, too soulful. That album specifically, and many by Bob and the Wailers, are tributes to the spiritual powers of the roots music. Unmatched works. 💪

i have the multitrack to this and its just amazing , breathtaking

Dude just made a beat at the end, it was probably what he was thinking about the entire time

I would love to have that multitracks to listen to them all one by one!

The most incredible album to me. It's like a progressive Motown R&B album. Like what Prog Rock does blending one track to the next. Absolute brilliance.

Goosebumps throughout.

As a conga player, the conga pt. Appears different than the way I was taught to play it!. 🤯

Listen to the Detroit mix and you get the best of both worlds with more horns in the intro like in the album version and more congas like in the single mix.

Wish we got to hear more James jamerson

That's really interesting! It could be many different songs. 😊

Check KZread for the 11:50 minute version of Whats Going On. Someone has extended the song to include all of these parts separately. The bass section is so outstanding it could be a song all on its own. This is one of the most well orchestrated songs ever written. Listen to that acoustic guitar, there is nothing better on earth, not Beethoven, not Bach or Mozart.

My Father played the sax opening on that song. R.I.P. Dad.

Well as talented as JD was he obviously had to get his inspiration somewhere, and this record is just THE one that will stand out forever

I love this video but damn, the audio mix was really messing with my head! Harry Weinger's audio was coming out of the right channel only, and Questlove's audio was coming out of the left channel only but looking at them from out perspective, the audio should have been swapped to match where we were seeing them in the frame. Either that or they should have put their voices in both channels instead of just one.

Genius

3 guitars, electrics, acoustic, Vibes with Piano, 2 drums+perc, and this type of layering, sounds influenced by Phil Spector. But then what isn’t? Spector was MIDI’ing sounds before there was MIDI.

Whoever mixed the video down did that dumb ish.

Why is this panned hard right and left?

This video is missing the famous Motown fade.

Questlove just gets all the luck huh lol

One name. James jamerson.

haha YUP

this video is 4:20 minutes long. heheheh...

Quest love should be able to make original beats and compose beats from scratch. I don't think he need to sample.

WTH!!! OMG #thatisall

Questlove made Marvin Gaye's song sound better right at the end there. With just 2 instruments...
