From a recent Monday Night Jam at San Francisco’s Tupelo on Grant Avenue, Amity Rose and friends delivering this rendition of ‘What’s Going On’, captured half way through – still a thing of beauty. ‘What’s Going On’ was written by Marvin Gaye in 1970, in hopes people would “take a look at what was happening in the world.”
