When Motown’s Barry Gordy refused to release Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin On” because of the album’s political nature, the artist went ‘on strike’ to achieve its release. Almost immediately, it became Motown’s biggest single, and one of the greatest albums of the 20th century.

Cobra Records was founded in 1956 in Chicago, Illinois, capturing a slice of the golden era of blues with Otis Rush, Sunnyland Slim, Magic Sam and even a young Buddy Guy. The label folded after the founder was discovered dead at the bottom of Lake Michigan under mysterious circumstances.
