    The words in this song from 1972 are totally relevant today in 2024. This song ranks in the top 5 of most important songs Berry Gordy did not want to record this song because he thought it was too controversial . Marvin persisted and it remains the classic that it is today. About a year ago CNN actually did a special on the significance of this song. Thanks for your great reaction to this. 👏👏🥰
