Radio Paradise (mobile)

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
Father, father
We 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, oh (oh)
Picket lines ''(sister)'' and picket signs ''(sister)''
Don't punish me ''(sister)'' with brutality ''(sister)''
Talk to me ''(sister)'', so you can see ''(sister)''
Oh, what's going on ''(what's going on)''
What's going on ''(what's going on)''
Yeah, what's going on ''(what's going on)''
Oh, what's going on ''(what's going on)''
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines ''(brother)'' and picket signs ''(brother)''
Don't punish me ''(brother)'' with brutality ''(brother)''
Come on, talk to me ''(brother)'', so you can see ''(brother)''
What's going on ''(what's going on)''
Yeah, what's going on ''(what's going on)''
Tell me what's going on ''(what's going on)''
I'll tell you what's going on ''(what's going on)''

WonderLizard Dec 08, 2012 - 18:14	Johray63 wrote: Check out the bassplaying by James Jamerson. He's responsible for all the great, unique, very influential bassplaying, on most of the sixties and early seventies Motown records, together with the other "Funk Brothers", as these studio musicians named themselves. At the time studio musicians didn't get the credits like they do today. What's Going On was in fact the first Motown album that listed musicians credits. Marvin Gaye (and many others) called Jamerson a genius and said a prayer during a concert when he'd heard Jamerson died. Shortly after that, Marvin Gaye died too. Just like Jamerson, very tragical, as we all know. Jamerson's bass on this track is iconic. The story is that he came in from a night of carousing, hung over, read through the charts once, and played the most amazing bass track ever. Years later after Motown moved to LA, a local wise guy—having heard the story about how it was invented—bet Jamerson a good deal of money that he couldn't recreate it on the spot. Jamerson collected.

And perfect for this day - it's hot, the sky's clear blue, the birds are singing and the butterflies are exploring every blooming flower they can find. No loud engines, no barking dogs... It's scary-good, as if the music of Marvin Gaye were controlling the environment. Well, maybe it can.. . I knew Cynaera would have commented on this Godlike track. Trying to keep her posts on the front page. RIP Ann [ Reply ]
