‘What’s Going On’ — Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” release, politically motivated in 1971, was actually rejected as non-commercial, but was finally able to achieve No. 2 on the Hot 100 board and became one of the stars’ most successful Motown tracks. “An exquisite plea for peace on Earth” is described by Rolling Stone and placed fourth among the best songs ever. “The peerless voice of Marvin Gaye sent a message to millions,” the Guardian wrote.
