On this day the 40th Anniversary of the release of this great album I still hear people greeting each other saying "What's Going On" - Anytime I'm greeted with "Hey Sam What's Going On" I respond "Marvin asked that same question in 1971 and we still have not figured it out Yet." Great Song - and the Music is timeless... Take care and God Bless. Sam Lawrence S. 56 years old....
I'm glad you honored a lot of blacks in your video, who served in Vietnam. Especially that black woman. The documentaries ALWAYS show a ton of whites and you need to strain to see just one black. My dad was a Vietnam Veteran.
Tthis is a bad...-ass video! (that's old skool for something very very good..in case the youngins didn't comprehend) I felt like I wanted to hear this..today.. MLK day 2011. thanks for the upload hyperboymedia)
This song written so long ago still reminds me of today with Iraq/Afghanistan. I have no words to express how much this song means to me, even in my darkest hours.
@KarmicBastard Well agreed my brother! REVOLUTION IS IMMEDIATELY NEEDED. OUR WAR IS NOT WITH AFGHANISTAN, ITS IN THIS VERY COUNTRY. WARS ARE ONLY A BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS TAXES. WE NEED TO TAKE A STAND! ACTION IS NEEDED. NO MORE TALK.
Shame you didn't include a picture of Marvin's brother, Frankie Gaye. Frankie's picture was included in the Soul Soldiers exhibit at the Heinz. After all, this song was created from the stories Frankie told Marvin when he returned from Vietnam. Besides missing (my dad) Frankie , I think your video is really cool.
man it seems like people were more togather and had pride back then.... to bad I was born in the 80's.... Ive never got the chance to see a time when people were united and pridfule. Now everybody has the "Fu*k you pay me" attatude
Absolutely the greatest album ever. Ever song on this LP stands up after all the years. The album is just as prophetic today as it was when it first came out.
What happen to the brotherhood We once possessed. It sad because, today we sold eachother out to achieve the American Dream ( wealth, material gains, and feable-mindlessness). WE need to love and embrace eachother like the brothers and sisters of the past.
@1983CHAMPS Back in the 60s and early 70 the Lord was just waken us up, of course the head tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel, so-cal negroes of the tribe of Judah was heading the revolt and in the process wakening up the rest of the tribes, so-cal puerto ricans of the tribe if Ephraim, so-cal Mexicans or Chicanos of the tribe of Issachar, Gad so-cal Native Americans, against our #1 Enemy the the so-cal white race. These type of uprising of our people against the white race would never work,
@1983CHAMPS Thus saith the Lord in Zephaniah 3:8 "Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms,to pour upon them indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy". Knowledge is going to get us out of these Hell, thru Repentance, by keeping the Laws that we've been breaking. WE R Hebrew Israelites. Shalam

The world needs to be brought up by "human beings", but this is impossible, and equality is a myth, especially due to the world we're living in
