The R.B.D. Black History Month Song o' the Day

Marvin Gaye, "What's Going On" from Motown 1's (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:

"Mother, mother,
There's too many of you crying,
Brother, brother, brother,
There's far too many of you dying,
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, yeah!

"Father, father,
We don't need to escalate,
You see, war is not the answer,
For only love can conquer hate,
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, oh!

"Crooked lines (Sister),
And picket signs (Sister),
Don't punish me (Sister),
With brutality (Sister),
Talk to me (Sister),
So you can see (Sister),
Oh, what's going on (What's going on),
What's going on (What's going on),
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on),
Oh, what's going on (What's going on)…"
