Recently, I had the opportunity to again listen to Marvin Gayeâs Whatâs Going On album. His scores are soul-stirring, and his lyrics touch the highs and lows of the human experience. Â
What is more, thereâs no debate that Marvin was, and through his music, is a modern prophet.
Listening to âWhatâs Going On,ââ and including âMercy Me (The Ecology)ââ and âInner-City Blues,ââ one wonders if Marvin had a crystal ball or whether humankind is so deeply entrenched in dysfunction that thereâs no endto it. Â
Although his music reflects the â70s, his lyrics outline our current dysfunction.
