From the woefully obscure 1973 concert film SAVE THE CHILDREN, here's a complete version of a staple of Motown documentaries; Marvin Gaye and the Funk Brothers playing "What's Going On?" I remember footage taken from this film in somesuch documentary was the first time I had actually seen James Jamerson in action after reading a ton about him shortly after I discovered his genius by cranking the bass on my power-amp while listening to a Best of The Temptations LP. Even now, seeing him, The Funk Machine [his workhorse '62 Fender Prescision Electric Bass] and Bongo Eddie in living color is a real treat. Enjoy:
