Ray BLK performed her own version of Marvin Gaye's 1971 track "What's Goin' On" while appearing on BBC 1Xtra last night (25 May).
As part of yesterday's (25 May) 1Xtra Talks: Pain, Power and Progress two-hour special coinciding with the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death, Ray BLK delivered her rendition of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On", originally released in 1971.
Her reimagined version of "What's Goin' On" follows Ray BLK's most recent single "Dark Skinned" that landed earlier this month.
Ray BLK's rendition of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" is available to watch on YouTube now.
