MARVIN GAYE: "WHAT'S GOING ON" Medley
marvinWH..jpg

When Marvin Gaye originally recorded this groundbreaking LP, he used many different recording techniques.


He used 2 sets of vocals and separated them: falsetto on one side and tenor on the other.


He also brought the rhythm section to the front with accent on the bongos.


Motown bosses (Berry Gordy & Company) did not like the result and remixed it more conventionally for the 1971 release.


Thirty years later (2001) they finally released the original mix now called "The Detroit Funk Mix";
(after The Funk Brothers, the Motown rhythm section who played wonderfully in this session)


In 1971 as a 15 year old I made a medley of the songs from this LP on a cassette.
Recently I was listening to all the remixes from this LP and decided to re-create the Medley I did but NOW using The Funk Brothers versions and a
great Jimmy Michaels mix on "Mercy Mercy Me".


It came out just as I wanted!!
Medley includes:
"What's Going On", "What's Happening Brother", "God Is My Friend", "Mercy Mercy Me",
& "Inner City Blues"
