What's Going On is the most personal protest song I've ever heard. It's like Marvin Gaye sent a message straight to our souls. Chaka did great justice to this song!

I went to see Standing In The Shadows of Motown at the cinema. The story is remarkable; inspirational and almost heart-breaking at the same time. The music has changed the musical landscape. So wonderful that the remaining Funk Brothers had this moment. There is something about this moment that is transcendental. Marvin song with Chaka's performance here is from somewhere else ...and I've got pretty much every album of hers ...I've watched hundreds of videos and seen her in concert around 5 times. I remember watching it in the cinema and when she started the improvs being transported somewhere else. I went home and in my dreams the song and performance were being replayed. This moment and everyone involved in it from Marvin's original, the Funk Brothers, the backing vocalists, the use of film archive and the breathtaking magic that Chaka brings to it. One of my favourite musical moments and one of the most special video clips on KZfaq I've ever seen.

This is just pure magic - music at its best !! … THAT'S What's Going On !!

I have the VHS tape and DVD and have watched the whole thing many,many times. Closest thing to a time machine. Though "What's Going On" was performed a bit fast for me, it is still as good as it gets. Superb Vocals, and what can you say about the Funk Brothers? The Quality and smoothness is almost beyond imagination. Babbit playing that Jamerson bass line as close as could be at almost twice speed.

Standing in the Shadows of Motown is a great video, a must see for any music lover. James Jamerson is the greatest bass player of all time, and Babbitt did a great job filling in. Just wanted to see more of him playing it in the vid, instead of the constant shot of the xylophone. Great vocals by Chaka, tough to take on such an iconic classic and not get slammed for it.
