Hear BJ The Chicago Kid & Marvin Gaye Duet On 45th Anniversary "What's Going On" Release

Celebrating 45 years since the release of the classic 1971 album What's Going On, Motown has brought current soul star BJ The Chicago Kid into a beautifully executed posthumous duet with the late, Marvin Gaye, singing the album's politically-sharp title-track. The song is released today in conjunction with a commemorative 10-inch vinyl release, holding the original mono recording, as well as the B-side, "God Is Love" and today's duet. You can hear BJ The Chicago Kid and Marvin Gaye bring this still-relevant classic back to life down below and head over to Respect The Classics to grab your copy of the vinyl release.
