“What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye
(Words/Music: Al Cleveland, Marvin Gaye, Renaldo “Obie” Benson, Album: What’s Going On, Tamla 1971)
themesong: your soul saver
One of the greatest songs and singers in the history of soul music, there is something about this particular song which makes me think of salvation and redemption and just generally makes me feel good about people. It’s the perfect combination of a slow jam and poignant, thoughtful lyrics. And no matter what you may have done wrong in your life, if you start believing in lines like “only love can conquer hat,” I have to believe that you’re on your way to being saved.
What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye - Such a powerful and moving song. Sit back, clear your mind, and just take in the words.
