What's going on?
Now, what's going on?
People, hurt and tired
Falling in love again

Now, what's going on?
People, now what's going on?
I wanna know right now what's going on
Telling you right now, what's going on

Lots of corruption in the government
Who can you trust?
Oh, understand
Oh, baby

You said you wouldn't mind being
What's that you say?
Now, what's going on
Tell me, baby
What's going on
Now, what's going on
What's going on
Going on now
Wanna know now

People getting tired
Want a little love and justice
Make you feel
Feel my love is real, sugar
Please tell me, lord
Now, what's going on

Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye was one of the most consistent and enigmatic of the Motown hitmakers, with a career that exemplified the maturation of black pop into a sophisticated form spanning social and sexual politics.

Blessed with a mellifluous tenor and a three-octave vocal range, Gaye was among the most gifted composers and singers of his era. His life ended tragically one day before his 45th birthday, when he was shot to death by his father, an Apostolic preacher, after a violent argument.
