When his brother Frankie returned from Vietnam, Gaye noticed that his outlook had changed. He put himself in his brother's shoes and wrote a song that stands among the most tuneful works of consciousness-raising in American music.\n\"What's Going On\" looked at the forces shaping American culture at the beginning of the 1970s, that moment when hippie-era idealism crashed into the realities of poverty, of mystifying war, drug abuse and racial misunderstanding.: https://www.npr.org/2000/08/07/1080444/npr-100-whats-going-on", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
