‘WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR ONLY LOVE N NQUER HATE’ ~ MARV GAYE

Amerin soul sger Marv Gaye’s tle track om his 1971 album, “What’s gog on” is a glowg example. Although the 47-year-old song was wrten at the height of the Vietnam and Cold Wars and ultimately viewed as an Amerin social anthem of the time, do not tract om the fact that the issu unrlyg rema as relevant today as they were back the time Gaye, and Motown lleagu, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Al Cleveland, wrote the song. Marv Gaye’s classic ‘What’s gog on?

He scribed the cint to mic wrer Ben Edmonds the 2001 book, What’s Gog On: Marv Gaye and the Last Days of The Motown Sound:. Fortunately, Gaye was very keen.

Inspired by the harrowg stori told to him by his younger brother Frankie over his Vietnam war experienc, Gaye would eventually make the song his own. The label’s boss, Berry Gordy, was on holiday the Bahamas when an exced Gaye phoned him about the new prott song. However, Motown was sperate for new mic om Gaye and released to massive cril and mercial acclaim.
