Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy begins donating 5% of royalties to social justice causes I don t have all the answers, said Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy. I just wanna do my part.
In a statement after the killing of George Floyd last summer, Tweedy wrote, The modern music industry is built almost entirely on Black art. The wealth that rightfully belonged to Black artists was stolen outright. He called for an industry-wide plan to address this enormous injustice.

In 1967, Marvin Gaye was the reigning prince of Motown, belting out chart-storming love anthems alongside duet partner Tammi Terrell.
