What's Going On

Written by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland, and Marvin Gaye, the title track from Gaye's 1971 concept album hit number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the top position on Billboard's Soul Singles chart for five weeks. The album made Gaye the first male solo artist to place three top ten singles on the Hot 100 from one album, and in 2020 and 2023 revisions, Rolling Stone listed What's Going On as the greatest album of all time.
