What’s Going On (Gaye)

Join us this summer for a special series on songs with Josh Condon, AZMF’s Resident Artist. Each session weaves together music history, thoughtful analysis, active listening, and engaging discussion—all designed to deepen your appreciation and enjoyment of great music. Come for the songs, stay for the coffee, conversation, and community, and rediscover some of the greatest music ever written!

Smooth on the surface yet deeply urgent beneath, this song blends soulful textures with a powerful social message. Its flowing arrangement and layered vocals create a sense of conversation—both intimate and expansive. We’ll examine how groove, orchestration, and vocal delivery work together to communicate empathy, concern, and a call for understanding.
