I always get a kick when you get to the moment when you various band members nodding to themselves - and to each other - thinking "Yes - thank you Lord for this singer who can SING", lol. Seriously, only Marvin and Chaka ever told the story of this song right. Bless great musicians - vocal and otherwise.
Remember the first time I heard Marvin do this, and it set me back on my heels. It wasn't the usual boy-loses-girl stuff, and it really hit me. Has been my favorite song for 50 years. Didn't think anybody could do it justice until I heard Chaka do it- with, of course, the Funk Brothers!
Somehow they all found each other in Detroit in the 1960's. Berry Gordy musta had something to do with it. Yeah, brilliant musicians working together. We shore need their like again today!
i just saw this doc last night. between muscle shoals and the wrecking crew, this one's equally great. it's amazing how SO MANY hits were made by session players and were given close no credit back in their day.
My God, where has the real musicianship gone! We need real music with a real message in this day and time along with real singers and musicians! Simply bful rendition of the great Marvin Gaye song! Thank you for the upload!
Genial interpretacion sobre una de las canciones que han pasado a la historia entrando por la puerta grande. Si duda Marvin Gaye debe estar muy orgulloso donde quiera que esté por esta actuacion. Felicidades al creador y a la intérprete!!!!!!!
Vocal perfection….. no other way to describe this…. Chaka is by far one of the best singers in history….
No other way to describe it, you put it perfectly.
Can you imagine if Marvin and Chaka did an album of duets?!
The way she did this is just gold
Right!
@@dariustidwell6411 I'm here the world is crazy
Best rendition of the song in my opinion! No one compares to Chaka!
I totally love Chaka Khan's longevity. And she's always working. Chaka Khan never starves her fans for new songs and performances.
Absolutely agree ❤️
Aside from Marvin, natch, but as other renditions go, for pure unbounded soul and feeling, no one can compare.
Donny Hathaway, best. period
@@martyemmons8692to be fair she’s only released two albums in 20 years
im happy i live in a world where Chaka Khan is in

These aren't just various band members..these are the remaining Funk Brothers..responsible for more number one hits than anyone we've ever heard.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best covers from the movie, I love how she made it her own. I'm sure it would have earned huge praise from Marvin Gaye himself!
With the fabulous Funk Brothers Chukka's live version of Marvin's haunting song is so unforgettable, a musical era gone but not forgotten.
So true!! Chaka and The Funks were clearly having a blast creating a Grammy winner!!
This woman is beyond amazing.
ALWAYS CHAKA......BLACK QUEEN OF CHICAGO......CHAKA COME TO BRAZIL...WE´RE WAINTING YOU................
The best singer ever, love Chaka Khan. Long live the Queen. She minds me of Ella Fitzgerald
She's AMAZING!!!! Can't stop listen to this
Me too
The One and Only. Chaka.
She's amazing. Fan for a few decades.
Chaka kill it, always making her own. She's great. Love this.
I've never taken been addicted to any drugs and never will be but this music is probably the closest I'll ever get to heroin
This is the most heartbreaking song. I love Chaka's interpretation!!!
The funk brothers must be the greatest bunch of REAL MUSICIANS ever played music
David Taylor Had not thought of it that way before, but I believe you are right.
Somehow they all found each other in Detroit in the 1960's.
Berry Gordy musta had something to do with it.
Yeah, brilliant musicians working together.
We shore need their like again today!
They are and were the Best. They were very underrated. They were the sound of Motown. Those Cats could really play.🎶🎵🎼🎹🎷🎺🎸
Her voice is rich, tone, reminds me of beautiful horn. My Goodness Chaka can "SANG'.
Chaka always copied and followed instruments with her notes. A fact.
omg. by the end of this video, tears were streaming down my face. painfully haunting
How can this piece of transcendent music, performed and sung by real artists, have so few views?
I don’t know 🤷♂️
Sitting down Chaka. Tearing the walls down!. That's Chaka. Won a Grammy for this.
I play this at least once a day , she is so beautiful and amazing , and this song is incredible.
Someone needs to put this video on Facebook and that everyone can see and listen to it
Remarkably arranged with melodic vocals and tones and colorful skins tone
Masterfully sung. Chaka Khan is a gem.
All I can do is smile and enjoy this version of Chaka Khan singing What's Going On!! She's a TRUE FUNK DIVA!!
You gotta respect the instrumentation and DNA in this song.
And those flawless background singers bring it all home!!
YES!!! Don’t forget to give props to the backup singers. Just beautiful. “20 feet from greatness “ indeed.
What band has had the largest number of No1 hits?? YES! It´s the Funk Brothers. Just think who they have backed!
It is just so sad that most of these musicians have left this earth, and us, forever.
i love this version
One of the greatest performances ever.
Chaka Khan is a beautiful talented, SEXY lady!!!!! What a great job she did on this!
What should Motown do without The Funk Brothers Luuuuv these guy🎶❤️👏🏽And Chaka did a wonderful job on Marvin’s song!
The Funk Brothers are still making hits. No one's more deserving of this band than Chaka Khan.
Marty Emmons Except, of course, Marvin Gaye
ab-so-lu-te-ly.
Très très chic! Chaka was born to sing this tune.
This song always hits me hard, words that will resonate for countless generations.
i just saw this doc last night. between muscle shoals and the wrecking crew, this one's equally great. it's amazing how SO MANY hits were made by session players and were given close no credit back in their day.
There´s no other better than Chaka. My favorite.
Está feiticeira não tem piedade, sou cativo.da sua.voz, de seu sorriso, de sua angústia e de ser charme inigualável. Ladie, meu curvo diante de ti.
My buddy Babb (Babbitt) Man do I miss him!!
I cannot love this song enough.
these guys are pure legend.
I am watching this while Ukraine is being torn apart by the Russians. Really, What's Going On man!
My God, where has the real musicianship gone! We need real music with a real message in this day and time along with real singers and musicians! Simply bful rendition of the great Marvin Gaye song! Thank you for the upload!
Chaka Khan super DIVA
All right CHAKA,ace sound!
A fantastic track. I'm speechless.
This woman !!!!!
When she sang this,somewhere in Heaven,Marvin was composing or fishing or whatever when suddenly he turned and said:"Who is THAT?
FANTASTIC INTRO;
Chaka sings this song beautifully love her voice .
Genial interpretacion sobre una de las canciones que han pasado a la historia entrando por la puerta grande. Si duda Marvin Gaye debe estar muy orgulloso donde quiera que esté por esta actuacion. Felicidades al creador y a la intérprete!!!!!!!

Marvin wrote a song for everyone
Marvin didn’t write it Renaldo Benson of the Four Tops wrote it
Donny hathaway version way up there
Excelente que vos.. Desde Monterrey n. L. Mexico
What’s Going On was the first Motown record where the musicians were listed in the liner notes.
STAY PRAYERFUL PEOPLE. SATAN IS EVERYWHERE FOR SURE BUT HE WILL NOT WIN. QUOTING DR. KING, "WITH THIS FAITH".
Chaka put that “Chaka scream” stamp on this one!!!
She owns this one now!
I keep waiting to hear from the fire to the wall.
Beautiful version!!! What the eff IS going on these days? SOS, apparently...no, it's getting worse... Unless...
