Lyrics of "What's Going On"
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, 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
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 on
Right 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
Oh
Picket 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 on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Artist Biography
Marvin Gaye
Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., known as Marvin Gaye, was an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist with a three-octave harmonic range. Marvin Gaye's unusual career matched his extraordinary life, a mixture of blessings and curses, stunning success and enigmatic pain.
Marvin Gaye started as a member of the doo-wop group, The Moonglows, he endeavored into a solo career. Motown process is very prominent for combating the hit-making but also restraining; where performers and songwriters and producers were kept extricate. Gaye proved that he was able to generate music without relying on the system with albums like his What's Going On in 1971 and his Let's Get It On in 1973. The title track of the album “What's Going On”, despite of no backing from Motown became a hit, peaking at number-one on the Billboard R&B charts for five weeks.
Gaye attained his first hit single in 1961, "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", followed by his first Top 40 singles out of which "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" became his first signature song. Due to his solo hits including "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and his duo singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, he was head dressed, "The Prince of Motown” and "The Prince of Soul".
His mid-1970s work which included the Let's Get It On and I Want You albums helped persuade the quiet tornado, urban adult contemporary and slow jam kind. In late seventies after a self-imposed European exile, Gaye revisited on the 1982 Grammy-winning hit, "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album prior to his death. In 1987, he was posthumously included to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2008, the American music magazine Rolling Stone positioned Gaye #6 on its list of ‘The Greatest Singers of All Time’, and ranked #18 on ‘100 Greatest Artists of All Time’.
