"What's Going On?" Motown and Soul in Alameda

"What's Going On?" Marvin Gaye's passionate song from the 60's describing urban decay, crime and police brutality had a revival at the Harbor Bay Landing Summer Concert Series. A very fitting song considering present-day unrest with political and social extremism. His iconic song was featured in a three-hour concert with vocalist Wendy backed by her soul and motown trio. There were other classic hits from disco diva Donna Summer, and "What's Love Got to with It" by Tina Turner,  and songs by Roberta Flack, Aretha Frankin, and Natalie Cole.

OK now, "Rock Steady" by Aretha Franklin
