Há 40 anos, Marvin Gaye, compunha What's Going On, uma de suas músicas mais famosas.
Marvin naquela época já cantava sobre as dificuldades de viver na cidade grande, com um estilo elegante e muito soul, jazz, funk, conseguia falar sobre política, sexo, diferenças culturais, paz mundial, entre outros temas.
Passaram os anos 50, 60, 70...nos anos 80, Marvin estava atolado em dívidas e drogas. Morreu em 1984 após uma briga violentíssima onde acabou sendo morto com um tiro disparado pelo seu próprio pai.
WHAT'S GOING ON - Marvin Gaye
Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
You know we'ver got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, hey
Father, father, we don't need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh what's going on, what's going on
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
Ahhh....
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cos our hair is long
Ah you know we'ver got to find a way
To brind some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, yeah what's going on
Tell me what's going on, I'll tell you what's going on
