This offbeat episode of END ZONE INSIGHT profiles Marvin Gaye, the smooth voiced star of 1960s and ‘70s Sweet Soul Music. The Detroit-based superstar had a love for football and befriended Lion NFL stars Mel Farr and Lem Barney. The pair of Lions were invited to attend a recording session at which Gaye created one of his most famous and emotional songs, “What’s Going On?” The song’s opening is ad-libbed both musically and with over-dubbed spontaneous conversation, and the voices of the football stars ended up on the recording. When record sales went gold, Gaye gave each of his friends their own gold record awards.
