My goodness! Why doesn't eveyone know about this song? This song is motivational and keeps it real! Thanks Mike, great song! It's helping me to hang on in there.
It's great that John Legend and The Roots did a cool cover of this, if only to draw peoples attention back to this original version which is the true gem...
@XavierNarez You talking to me fam?...The name of the Baby J /Shade One track that used this sample is "Let them know"....I cant find it on youtube though..
The first time I heard "Hang On In There" I thought who is this? I didn't think it was Marvin Gaye, but it sure had his "What's Going On" social commentary feel. This song has found itself on numerous compliation cds. Mike James Kirkland was an over achiever and under appreciated west coast singer. This song is a classic.

Forgive my ignorance seeing as I only discovered this from the John Legend/Roots collab, but this is very nice. Why can't music be like this anymore.
