ALTHOUGH GAYE DID NOT PERSONALLY SERVE VIETNAM, HE CRAFTED AS A KD OF NCEPT ALBUM OM THE POT OF VIEW OF A SOLDIER RETURNG TO UNRT AND UPHEAVAL BACK HOME. THERE WAS ALSO A FAY NNECTN. “MARV GAYE’S BROTHER, FRANKIE, DID THREE TOURS VIETNAM. HE WAS A RAD OPERATOR. AND HE WOULD WRE MARV ALL THE TIME, SO MARV WAS GETTG A FIRSTHAND ACUNT OM HIS BROTHER ABOUT THE HORRORS OF THE WAR,” LEE SAID. “THOSE LETTERS WERE REALLY THE IMPET OF ONE OF THE GREATT ALBUMS OF ALL TIME, SO I WANTED TO CLU MARV’S SONGS.”THAT BACKSTORY ADDS ANOTHER LAYER TO THE LYRIC, “BROTHER, BROTHER, BROTHER/ THERE’S FAR TOO MANY OF YOU DYG...”RATHER THAN PLAY THE CLASSIC RERDG DURG THE FILM’S TENSE CLIMAX, LEE CID TO E A LTLE-KNOWN A PPELLA VERSN. FTGLY, WAS TRODUCED TO LEE BY HIS YOUNGER BROTHER. “YEAH, NO ONE’S HEARD ‘WHAT’S GOG ON’ SUNG LIKE THAT,” THE FILMMAKER SAID. “MY BROTHER CQUé [LEE] FOUND THAT ON THE TER.” IT’S PRENTED THE FILM WH ONLY SOME SLIGHT ENGEERG. “ORIGALLY, YOU HEAR A LTLE BLEED-THROUGH, THROUGH MARV’S HEADPHON, BUT WE TOOK THAT OUT.
