Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, fatherWe don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right onRight on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
OhPicket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going onI'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye
"What's Going On"
Back in the '60's there was Motown and in Motown, there were famous R&B and Soul singers, such as The Temptations and Diana Ross. Today, I'm going to tell you about Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye was a small three year old boy in Washington DC when was singing and playing the organ in his church. Then he started singing groups with his friends, such as: The Rainbows and The Marquees in 1937. Marvin is mostly famous for his very spiritual lyrics. He's also famous for his hit songs: "What's going on", "How Sweet Is It (To Be Loved By You)", and "Sexual Healing".
Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr.) was born on April 2, 1939 in Washington DC, and lived to April 1, 1984 in Los Angeles, California. He writes R&B and Soul songs. His best song, "What's Going On" was about the Vietnam War, drug abuse, poverty, and the loss of one of his best friend's: Tammi Terrell.
Marvin Gaye was talking about drug abuse in "What's Going On", doesn't mean that he didn't mess with drugs. Marvin Gaye messed with drugs which leaded him to him and his parents arguing about bills and his own father shot him twice(once on shoulder; once on chest) for self defense.
