"In the CNN Special: Whats Going On: Marvin Gayes Anthem for the Ages airing Sunday, May 9th at 8pmET, CNNs Don Lemon explores the impact and genius of Marvin Gaye, his unprecedented album and the anatomy of several iconic hits from the record that reflect some of the most significant challenges and divisions in the nation today.
Whats Going On became a landmark of American protest music made even more powerful because it came from Motowns legendary sex symbol, who was not known for being a political figure. Gaye triumphed by landing a platinum album and transforming the most troubling social issues into an emotional appeal.
In this documentary, Lemon conducts rare interviews with music legends Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and speaks to other Motown musicians who were there with Gaye as he recorded Whats Going On, inside the iconic Hitsville studio in Detroit. Lemon also sits down with others who were inspired by this work, such as performing artists Maxwell, Sheila E., singer and actress Andra Day, and filmmakers Spike Lee and Lee Daniels."

(3,282 posts)than either one of their shows are on their own. The best part of that block is the few minutes where Cuomo is handing off to Lemon. They are also tossed together a lot on breaking news, especially later in the night.
