What's amazing is when asked about the lyrics that he was writting, he told his co partners that it was God that was writing the lyrics and not him. If you've listen to what was being said on this album back then and comparing to whats going on in this world in this day and time, To be honest, It had to have been God allowing him to see in to yesterdays, today as well as tomorrows future. Now to top all of this, Barry Gordy wanted to trash the album because he thought it wouldn't sell. WOW!
