One of my favorite recording artists of all time is/was Marvin Gaye. His tragic death in 1984 at the hands of his own father was very troubling. Marvin was frequently billed as a ladies man by Motown Records and I’m sure he was. Marvin also had a deeply spiritual and religious side which began to come out in his recordings in the 1970’s. Here is a link at Crooks & Liars blog which has the music video of one of my favorite Gaye lyrics “What’s Going On?”. What’s Going On came at a time in America when the Vietnam war began to become extremely unpopular. A time that is similar to now.
Peace.
