Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On – HD – What’s Going On is the eleventh studio album by soul musician Marvin Gaye, released May 21, 1971, on the Motown-subsidiary label Tamla Records.

A deluxe edition set of the album was released on February 27, 2001, and featured a rare live concert shot at Washington, DC’s Kennedy Center from May 1972.
