Late last year Devon Gilfillian shared his take on Marvin Gaye’s 1971 album What’s Going On. On the next World Cafe, we revisit that session. Gilfillian talks about the emotional moment that led to the project and discusses how the themes of Gaye’s record are still current, half a century after it was released.

Throughout February DJ and music journalist John Morrison is helping us celebrate the music of black artists with a series called The Black Roots of Rock and Roll. On the next World Cafe, we’ll move out of the ’70s and into the ’80s and ’90s with music from the proto-punk band Death, British duo A.R. Kane and a song by Dionne Farris that I know you’ll probably know.
