LEAN ON MEMARV GAYE LYRICS

In the years surroundg Marv Gaye's 'What's Gog On, ' artists like Stevie Wonr, Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, and the O'Jays all joed a new wave of socially nsc R&B mic. But the sight of Marv Gaye’s 1971 What’s Gog On atop Rollg Stone’s 500 Greatt Albums of All Time list is a formidable remr that socially-nsc pop was very much alive durg that perd — jt not rock & roll. Gaye was hardly an outlier this way.

Marv Gaye, “Cloud Ne” (1969). Two years before What’s Gog On, Gaye tted the social-nscns waters wh this versn of the Temptatns’ psychelic-soul h om the prev year.

Gaye didn’t pletely make the song his own, but he clearly nnected wh the imag of a large fay growg up a slum, wh ltle food and ltle the way of an pe plan.

In a sign of how eply Gaye’s song impacted on pop right after s release, the Oh Players — normally given over to lasciv funk hs like “Fire” and “Love Rolleraster” — rolled out a warm, reverent ver of the song a year after Gaye’s own. If Gaye’s versn felt personal and timate, the Oh Players’ rendn turned the song to a multi-voiced claratn of munal spir, and heavier on the backbeat, too.

Their “What’s Gog On” was a tribute to both Gaye and to the healg power of the mic, pecially at that time.
