Great song, but this is a shortened version that cuts out the haunting keyboards at the end. Please play the entire song!

You got  that right, jimmpy.  He died way too young, right at the peak of his career.

I never appreciated this song when it came out, but now I can relate.  Mercy, mercy.

In Bill's defense: any song would sound bad after the perfection that is Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)

Oh, my yes.

That whole song cycle that this is part of is so incredibly brilliant. It's more than a single pop song. Much more.

 
Roger that.  There's a flow to that album you just gotta hear all the way through.

So far ahead of his time and his people.  A prophetic song.  And beautiful to boot.

seconded, thank you for that...not something I might have ordinarily sought out, but you had such a great review I couldn't resist :)

  it's  just sweet

 but that was really a short version

Can someone confirm a story I'd heard about Stevie and Marvin?
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.
