Karla Bonoff, with guitar accompaniest Nina Ge**er, performs Karla's Grammy-Winning song, All My Life, made famous by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville. One of Karla's most successful songs, it's been part of hundreds of wedding ceremonies for three decades and always a staple of her live performances. Originally recorded on her New World album, when Karla sent the album to Linda Ronstadt, it was another Karla song that Linda decided to cover and the rest is music and Grammy history.

This week in 1971, the Marvin Gaye LP “What’s Going On” debuted on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart at #187 (June 12)

Marvin Gaye's eleventh studio album was his first album to credit him as a producer, and to credit Motown's in-house studio band, the session musicians known as the Funk Brothers.

The concept-style album is from the point of view of a Vietnam veteran returning to his home country to witness hatred, suffering, and injustice.
Gaye's introspective lyrics explore themes of drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War.

The song “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” also brought ecological issues to the fore, long before the modern “Green” movement…

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Marvin Gaye discussed what had shaped his view on more socially conscious themes in music and the conception of his eleventh studio album:

“In 1969 or 1970, I began to re-evaluate my whole concept of what I wanted my music to say ... I was very much affected by letters my brother was sending me from Vietnam, as well as the social situation here at home.

I realized that I had to put my own fantasies behind me if I wanted to write songs that would reach the souls of people.
I wanted them to take a look at what was happening in the world.”

“What's Going On” stayed on the Billboard charts for over a year and became Gaye's second #1 album on Billboard's Soul LPs chart, where it stayed for a massive nine weeks.

In 1985, writers on British music weekly the NME voted it the best album of all time.

In 2003, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

In 2020, it was ranked #1 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

The title track, which had been released in January 1971 as the album's lead single, hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the top spot on Billboard's Soul Singles chart for five consecutive weeks.

In 1988, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called the recording studio at 3 a.m. and said he had to record a song right away. 15 minutes later, Israel arrived at the studio. The studio owner, Milan Bertosa said, "And in walks the largest human being I had seen in my life." A security guard gave the 500-pound man a large steel chair to sit on. Milan said, "Then I put up some microphones, do a quick sound check, roll tape, and the first thing he does is 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' He played and sang, one take, and it was over."
Today, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version, is the most requested one of this classic song.
