Fifty-one years ago, Marvin Gaye released his album titled, What’s Going On that included the hit single by the same name. The album was released on May 21, 1971 and was hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as a thematic approach to social and political issues. The song was a response to violence and riots in the United States related to the war in Vietnam, as well as race relations.
