So far ahead of his time and his people. A prophetic song. And beautiful to boot.
Obama is just getting on message with the ecology some 40 years later...

at the time this was playing ( came out) it was not that good to me
with time it Marvin just seemed to get better and better
it's just sweet
but that was really a short version

Stevie was receiving some music award and upon taking the stage, invited Marvin up, and reminded the judges about Marvin's two recent songs: Mercy Mercy Me and What's Going On. He told the judges that Marvin deserved the award more than he and walked off stage, leaving his award with a slack jawed Marvin. ??? Gotta love Marvin at his best.
I couldn't find anything about it with a brief Google search, but I did turn up this gem: Stevie and MarvinI really do love the internet sometimes... |
