Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On" label_Rostrum Records all smooth lines and softOriginally released in 1971, this album is widely considered to be Marvin Gaye's master work. A social commentary on American life that remains poignant 30 + years later. However, executives were initially dead set against it's release, calling the single "uncommercial".
