I have such a big smile on my face! I love seeing people of all ages, race and creed enjoy this magnificent artist who will not be forgotten! What's going on y'all? R.I.P. Marvin Gaye!
THIS ALBUM WAS ENJOYED BY ME AND REGULARLY PLAYED FOR MY LOVELY FOUR DAUGHTERS "AS A MUSICALLY BLESSED GROUP OF WOMEN BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY AS AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALES IN AMERICA AND AMERICAN INNER CITIES. OR JUST MULTI CULTURAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY GREW UP TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTISTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS LIKE MARVIN GAYE, SAM COOKE, DONNIE HATHAWAY, STEVIE WONDER AND GROUP ARTISTS AND COMPOSITIONS BY EARTH, WIND AND FIRE. AFTER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPROPRIATE TRUSTED PEOPLE, FAMILY AND FRIENDS....... THERE WAS WHAT I CALLED"EXTENDED FAMILY ". OF RACE, COLOR, CREED AND EXPERIENCES. SOMEONE AND SOMETHING REALISTICALLY TANGIBLE AND RELATABLE AND NOT OVERBLOWN. AND ONCE THAT PERSONAL FOUNDATION OF VALUES, PRINCIPLES AND MORALITY WAS ESTABLISHED........ EXPANSION WAS NEXT. OVER THE YEARS, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE EXPERIENCES OF LIFE AND CHOICES. CLARIFIED BY THE REALITY OF "THOSE THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, PER VIEW, BUDGET, MORAL INFLUENCE, PUBLIC REACH, ETC. GET EMPOWERED. LIVE EMPOWERED. REMAIN EMPOWERED OR PROACTIVELY SEEKING TO BUILD UPON YESTERDAY'S WISDOM OF WINS AND LOSSES. AND ESPECIALLY NOT JUST MONETARY. OBSERVE AND UNDERSTAND"WHO" AND "HOW" PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS GET ACCESS THEN LINKED UP........IN YOUR DAILY EXISTENCE. THIS HELPS YOU TO RECOGNIZE "THE HONEST ORIGINS" OF THE IMPACTFUL CHOICES AND DECISIONS THAT LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN THE WET CEMENT OF YOUR LIFE TRAVELS. BECAUSE. ONE. IT HELPS YOU TO RETRACE OR RETRACT YOUR STEPS, DECISIONS AND CHOICES OR ADD TO THEM. TWO. AND THE MOST POWERFUL. TEACHING BY EXAMPLE IN LIFE. WITH YOUR LIFE. AND ABOUT YOUR INTERACTIONS IN DAILY LIFE THAT IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE CHANGING OR ESTABLISHING AND SUSTAINABILITY OF "OUR FUTURE". BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT LEARN FROM THE ERRORS, MISSTEPS AND TRAGEDIES OF THEIR PAST............THEY ARE DOOMED REPEAT THEM OR REMAIN IMPRISONED BY "THE POWERS" THAT BE. NATURALLY. SPIRITUALLY. EMOTIONALLY. ECONOMICALLY AND SO FORTH.
Thank you for this. It's still healing, after all this time. The compassion, the cool hand on the fevered body, the glorious wash of musical understanding still transcends. We're hearing a glimpse of heaven.
To understand this album, you not only need to understand his musical genius, but you also need to understand the context of this time - and I do believe God was writing the album! Just listen to the whole album and you’ll know it
Black music was not being dismissed as intellectual music. Stop it. How old were you at that time? 13. I was 17 and people were accepting the black acts. They were on all the major television shows like Ed Sullivan. All these false narratives.
This is THE GENERATIONAL ANTHEM of my BOOMER (the Greatest) Generation!!!! (the 'song' & entire album)!!!!!
When this was out my mother played this all the time!!
I have such a big smile on my face! I love seeing people of all ages, race and creed enjoy this magnificent artist who will not be forgotten! What's going on y'all? R.I.P. Marvin Gaye!
Greetings from Poland.
Marvin Gaye is in my heart.
What's going on is on the first position.
I was 17 when this came out. All my life, one of my top 5 desert island albums. Masterpiece.
Me too.
I was proud to be named Marvin because of him.. Marvin and that Motown sound was impeccable.
One of the best & most timeless songs of all time. Marvin was THE MAN.
Stateof the World Today!! WORD!! Please VOTE for everyone!!
