Unpacking the Tracks: Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" (part 1)
In this video series, sit at the mixing console with Motown historian Harry Weinger and Questlove of The Roots as they unpack the tracks of Marvin Gaye’s 1971 chart-topping hit, “What’s Going On.”

it's a mix of eeriness and beauty hearing Marvin's piano. He's gone but the emotion he played through the piano is very much still here.
I could listen to this dissected for the rest of my life ❣️
The most organic album ever produced by Motown, and in my top 10 albums of all time

from a musical standpoint, Kind of Blue is a record you can listen to 1000 times. And Yellow Brick Road being a double album has a lot more variety on it. Ranking masterpieces is not fruitful. Also, Mr. Gaye considered his Trouble Man soundtrack to his greatest achievement; probably because he had never worked in long form before. If you like Marvin Gaye, be sure to watch the Koln orchestra tribute to Curtis Mayfield.@@HelloSpyMyLie

@@edwarddejong8025 I believe there are fruits from truth. I will check that out. But let’s not mistake lower art for higher art
I have never associated Marvin Gaye with a piano so when they played only that part of What's Going On, I thought in my mind of Marvin possibly sitting down in front of perhaps Berry Gordy and first playing the piano solo and it brought tears to my eyes! Then Quest Love stating that it made it sound in his opinion even a different song! Simply amazing! Wow 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵💜😘💙
Just toured Studio A last week. Just amazing all the history and perfectly preserved. ✨
Amazing!!!! Love how music comes together...especially done by a genius named Marvin Gaye

Hmmm.. No mention of the vibraphone? Orchestrated and arranged in with the piano trackS (multiple = Fender Rhodes, Acoustic, AND vibraphone)?
Oh I hate how the audio of this video was recorded
Is that Marino?

Someone took down the greatest mix of all time during covid by questlove, all marvin songs. I don't suspect it was this guy
Why is Quest Love there....he only plays drums, so what can he offer to the chords and progression played.....nothing....shoulda got Stevie Wonder instead.....

Should have gotten one of the OGs that was around. Paul Riser the motown string arranger is still around.
