It’s been 45 years since the release of Marvin Gaye’s momentous album, What’s Going On, May 21, 1971, on the Motown subsidiary Tamla Records. To mark the occasion, Universal Music Enterprises has released “What’s Going On” a 10” vinyl EP.

The EP contains the original 7” mono single versions of “What’s Going On” and “God Is Love,” as well as two “Motown: Re-imagined” versions of the title track: a “Coffeehouse Mix” and a posthumous duet with Motown signee BJ the Chicago Kid. Premiered on Pitchfork, we have a stream of the duet. The funky track, sounds fresh in a new mix that uses the original instrumental parts and adds only new vocals by BJ. The mix is by John Morales, of M+M Mix Productions fame.
