Rewind Button- Marvin Gaye, What’s Goin On

19 Apr

Marvin Gaye’s album Let’s Get it On was one I listened to way back in February on a road trip.  This was a difficult album to listen to. I am not a smooth R&B kind of person and many of his songs revolved around sex.  It definitely had a 70s sound but was not my cup of tea.

I did a little background research and it turns out this is Marvin Gaye’s 11th album.  I also read that this album features introspective lyrics and socially-conscious themes about drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War. Say what? Was I listening to the same album? Perhaps I tuned out the lyrics and only heard what I wanted?

I can’t wait to read what the other bloggers think because I think I missed the boat on this album.  Next week is Exile on Main Street by The Rolling Stones.

Also, we have a new blogger! My buds Keirstyn at her blog Be a River With Me will join the group. :)

See what the other bloggers from this project thought!
