"What’s Goin on?" with Grace Potter, Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley and the Tonight Show Band

As we previously noted, last night The Tonight Show with Jay Leno featured a performance that was billed as Rickey Minor & Friends. Minor, the musical director and bandleader for the show drew in Grace Potter, Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley and the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles for a tribute to Marvin Gaye. The musicians then collaborated on a version of “What’s Going On?” The clip appears above and can be seen in larger form over on Relix.com.
