'What's Going On/What's Happening Brother' — Marvin Gaye

Reader Joe Peach sent me a link to the video above, writing, "It seems so dated, so yesterday on the social comment, and yet still so now... but what a brilliant performance by Marvin Gaye and his group. Long at nine minutes, no, not long enough....

Concur.

That is so great, for the performances of everyone and especially James Jamerson's bass line. If you want to hear more of that, you could listen to this beautiful version of the Temptations singing "You're My Everything" -- according to the info at the beginning of the video, the bass was recorded two months apart from the vocals, making it even more remarkable.
