Marvin Gaye: What's Going On (Tamla Motown STML 11190).

Penny Valentine, Sounds, 6 November 1971

THE BEST album to come out of the Motown for longer than I care to remember comes in fact from Marvin Gaye's own "first". First in the sense that it is totally HIS album, something he's never done before in his long musical history. All the tracks have been written by Gaye and he's produced the album himself.
