Nobody is born with hate , only love . Its not hard to love your brother and sisters . PEACE and LOVE to everyone .
Peace and Love ✌️
....every infant who fails to get his/her bottle on time demonstrates something akin to hate. Of course hate is natural, however undesirable and potentially destructive it may be...
I was born in 1955. I was in third grade when a Birmingham church was bombed, killing four innocent girls. Then a couple months later Pres. Kennedy was assassinated. Five years later I was in eighth grade and Bobby Kennedy and Dr M L King where assassinated. In the meantime poor young men were being drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. In 1971, when I was in high school this song was a protest anthem, as some of my brother’s friends were drafted and killed in Vietnam. Fifty years later we haven’t gained much ground.
Me too. I remember waiting in line to see my teacher with my mother and we saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV!
So true!
This was Marvin's public transformation from entertainer to artist activist.
And then he got killed. Weird huh.
Perfectly said
@@theoneandonlybubblebass817 yes, and he was killed by his own father. Poor Marvin. God bless his soul
Tom Breden: I never realized that truth until you stated above. Think it was Marvin's call. To bring attention, an in depth awareness to the politics/turmoil of the time. And the wars still go on. ( Sad ). Berry Gordy did not want Marvin to record any of these activist songs under The Motown Label, too political.. But, Marvin had integrity and followed his conscience and his heart. Sweet Marvin taken too soon. But all of our leaders ( as mentioned/named by poster below, Jon Snellstrom ~ Thank You ) were assassinated in their prime, taken from us. And John Lennon. "December 8th 1980. Why?"
Such a Powerful Song. When I heard the news of his death by the hands of his father, I could not get this song out of my head... Father, we don’t need to escalate. RIP.
I am a white person approaching 60 yrs old l am glad you are opening your eyes! I am disgusted to say things are not only as bad as you say but more fucked up than most know!..stay strong, keep your eyes open, and listen to as many songs from the 60'S as you can.. marvin...one of my favorites!
also a lot less fucked up than most of history, lets not lose sight of that
@@elysehfm8797 we can try a bit harder to be truthful, that isn't so hard
@@elysehfm8797 you are living in the best of times for humans, if you do realise that it's just very sad, there is no excuse for ignorance any more
@@elysehfm8797 ooh, a cliche, nice move
Hey, Sherry, white woman here who turned 60 last August - I totally agree with you -- when I was a teenage and in my early 20's, I lived in Milwaukee - had plenty of friends of different ethnicities.. and even though I was told to beware of certain neighborhoods, I never felt threatened by "black people" - yeah, some guys would give some catcalls, etc. but so did the white guys... (yeah, when I was 18-20 I used to be cute - lol) -- I moved to Boston area and was really surprised by the racism there... I just figured "well, the midwest is much better about that..." imagine my shock a decade or so later about how far BACK we had gone... makes me very sad and frustrated -- I now live back in Wisconsin in a small town between MKE and Madison -- around here, it's VERY white -- and I occasionally hear off-hand comments -- I confront the people that I know who make such ignorant statements... I like to think in a way that doesn't challenge them intellectually - but makes them, perhaps, think a bit... ? IDK -
I am a 69 year old white former educator. Marvin Gaye’s album came out when I was in college. That was a very tumultuous time in our society. His album was a statement of our times. It is so very sad that we are still in turmoil. Your statements are very profound. Thank you for sharing your views.
The word to this song still burn. 🎶” only love can conquer hate. You know, we’ve got to find a way. To bring some lovin here today “ 🎶. Gives me chills. I was a senior in Hugh school.
@Connie Weltha the good news is that we are raising a whole generation of people who are smarter and better and will change the world. Change happens slowly and little by little, but it does happen.
Ikr? Is this what people mean when they say "what comes around goes around"? Cause it seems like we're back where we started. And this 50-year-old song is still perfectly relevant, perfectly resonant.
@@dianegoldeneye7207 Yes, beautiful words and they were like a deeply healing potion of care and comfort at the time
Even in preschool, I am a hippie baby born in 68, I loved his records. I named my beloved doggo Mercy from his song.
what is so sad is that this song is still relevant! Hate is taught. Love this artist,so much soul!! Great reaction. Be safe!
This album is 50 years old this year. And I only recently realized that this song was not a question but it was a statement.
Well said.
Mother mother there’s too many of you crying
Brother brother brother there’s far too many of you dying
This song came out in 1971 and unfortunately is still relevant today
A sad world we live in
Words that burn ....also “ only love can conquer hate “ I was a senior in high school when the song came out. It’s sad that it is STILL so relevant today. He’s still singing to us. If only some would listen. 😞
Marvin Gaye was a prophet...sadly few had ears too listen. His music appeals to the good and just in our species, plus his tone and rhythm are contagious.
Marvin Gaye - One of the absolute greatest!
Marvin Gaye was a very talented artist whose music still has relevance today. What's Going On is my personal number one favorite song. As a teenager when this song first came out, it moved me then, and it moves me still. Please take a listen to the song without the video...the original song that begins differently than how it was played in this video. It's a historic piece of music and a masterpiece all on its own.
there is a reason this tops many lists of best songs ever. Its still applicable today.
Amen!!
Thanks Twon. ❤️ I haven’t seen the song with this video. The song was relevant when I was young and NOW. Marvyn Gaye is one of the greatest. Sorry the video took you there.. but everything you said is true. Sorry for where it took you. But it needs to be said. Hope you will appreciate more of his music. He was tragically killed at a very young age by his father. Deep. Thanks for listening. Much love 💯🙌
…and he died a violent death by his father. The world lost such a beautiful and talented man. What a tragedy…
There was no video on the original song. The optics on the video don't actually fit the true narrative of the Song, of Marvin's words. "...simply 'cause our hair is long" referred to white hippies. The black community of this song's era wore a bush/an afro, and proudly. The bigger, the better, the more beautiful. They did not wear long hair/extensions. The images captured in this video are from today. And the only black folk who did wear long hair during this era were the Rastas. And they were never really a part of the the "Marvin Movement". But they always rocked some bodacious dreads, no doubt. Just a little factual back story.
I had never seen this video.
The GOAT MARVELOUS MARVIN GAYE. THIS MAN WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME. WHAT'S GOING ON IS STILL AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME. RIP MARVIN MISS YOU DEARLY😔😪😘🙏❤❤❤❤.
R.I.P. Marvin This song seems more relevant today. You're right, this is the craziest time I can remember too, and I'm almost 67.
It is crazy times. We have lost our footing with so many tragedies back to back to back. Over 500,000 dead just from the virus. We are living in times of trauma. We need messages like Marvin's in our lives so badly right now. Voices of love and unity.
I have always loved Marvin Gaye. His music is iconic. His sound and lyrics were so important in the era of civil rights, Vietnam protests, women rights, etc. Gender and the color of skin wasn't important. Marvin Gaye was wonderful man. He's a treasure. Thumbs up to you Twon. 💗
This album was out 50 YEARS ago - and the relevance of this song is sooooo REAL TODAY!!! SMH😒!!! You shld listen to the whole album!!!
Marvin Gaye was a genius; his music will never die; he's still very popular
Born in 61. The thing we have not learned is that only love will conquer hate.
It would be great if today’s artists would become the torch bearers of that message. We all belong .
This song makes me so sad. Marvin asked, Whats Going on in the 70s and here we are today.....sigh.
As many protest signs said,
'I cant believe I'm still protesting the same shit after 40yrs'.
Marvins words, unfortunately are timeless. I'm counting on y'all to fix it.
Cheers!
Signed,
Pissed off Grandma.
Marvin warned us all those years ago and we still haven't found our way. 😥
We are All People, We are All Touched by Injustice and crimes against humanity. We have to look beyond color. I was born in the ghetto of Southern Louisiana and raised in poverty in rural Texas. Never witnessed racism. In 2003, had to move to Ohio and work in Cleveland, and heard and felt racism for the first time at the age of 50 and it was towards me. A white Southern Lady. Can we ever get back to just People.
Wow, I can't say it enough, I love this man!. He sang with so much soul in everything that he sang. Amazing musician❤❤❤❤
Young man Marvin Gaye would be so proud of you that's his song. Over 40 years old. Something like that. Would have you talked about so many different issues school shootings racism Trump Administration. Keep the faith young man. Have a great Community by your side as you do. Enjoy your time on this planet. Do some good. Lay low and stay safe. .
I have to tell you, This track is and will always be my No 1 till the day I die, Marvin Gaye is my No 1 Artist till the day I die ❤️ So relevant today more than ever 💔 I am a white 56 year old female from the UK, couldn't live without Soul Music ❤️
One of the greatest protest songs of all time. A classic. And still timely! Keep speaking truth to power. I’m so sorry you experienced racist hate and childhood trauma. Know that so many of us love you!
Did you see Elvis TV 68 comeback special 50th anniversary singing “If l can dream” is talking about people coming together. Elvis sang it from his heart. Elvis didn’t see color and that’s why he was loved by all.
Love how they are playing in context with TODAY'S reality
I’m 66 and this has been the craziest time in my life also. A different experience from you that’s for sure but my eyes are wide open though. This song resonates today. Timeless.
Isn't it interesting that a song written nearly 50yrs ago is still relevant today? Just shows you as much as we change, just as much stays the same
No matter your race, we all need to stand together in these most difficult times. I'm 61 years old and for the first time in my life I'm scared because of all the hatred and division amongst the people of this country. Everyone's lives matter. Marvin Gaye songs always had a message from his heart.
@@dianegoldeneye7207 protests have stopped. It's not prevalent in the news. Sadly, i don't think it was a teaching moment. He didn't give his life for it, his life was taken.
@@krylesangerbeaver not my place to speak to this maybe. Sorry.
@@dianegoldeneye7207 No need to be sorry, I'm not attacking you by any means. I just think it is sad how quick the news can turn around and people "move on" from these events (not you, I mean in general)
So so great Marvin Gaye❤️
Thanks for your POV and experiences. Song is nearly 50 years old and it still applies today. That's how deep Marvin Gaye was. RIP. Peace.
OMG this is so beautifully done!!!!
Your reaction was perfect in my opinion.
I'm so sorry you have had so much to deal with already in your young life. You are a sweet spirit and a special man. ♥
I was confronted with racism in a place I thought I was safe. I ask My pastor if I should speak on it. He said something that still resonate with me. He said you must ask yourself are you strong enough?
Loved Marvin Gaye!!😊
I am a white woman in my mid 50's.This song touches my heart so deeply!Don't want to focus on politics,but I do want to share that I voted for Trump for a few reasons,and did not care for Hillary.That being said,I just want you to know that I am vehemently opposed to racism in any form.We have to be careful to not put people in boxes.I think there will always be hate groups,and we need to rise up against that.As Marvin says,ONLY LOVE CAN CONQUER HATE❣You and I,all of us,are children of God,and so precious.You spoke about George Floyd,and I want you to know that I would not have just stood by and watched that brutality! We must always speak the truth ,in love,and call out evil every time it raises its ugly head.I stand with you in love,peace,and solidarity!👏🏿👊🖤☮
I believe you💯❤️..people will twist my words around so fast I never said I think ALL trump supporters are racist🤷🏽♂️..I was going to vote for trump this year but I was too late
@@NLTwon Ahhh nah!!! This Nation would not have survived four more years of hate. Well 81M+ of us did vote and thank God Conald trump lost... you're welcome
@@Xcris_crosX nah. I’m with you. He caused a lot of the hate. I erased what I wanted to say here. Lost enough sleep the last 4 years. Done ✅ people saw it with they’re own eyes and refused to believe it. Smfh.
I am white. Most of my family and friends were Trump supporters, as was I. They are not racist and are against racism. I have family who married blacks, who were also Trump supporters. To equate Trump with racism is to misunderstand Trump. The media kept hammering this for the entire time he was president until most people believed it. It is well well known that most of the media are Leftists. Leftist ideology generally views everything through a racial lens whether it has anything to do with race or not. The Trump supporters I know just want what's best for this nation for everyone, not just one color of skin. They are also for equitable and just law and order for everyone. Trump got the most non-white support in the last election than a Republican president had in 60 years.
@@elysehfm8797 Vote 🌊🌊 🌊 2022
This was my first album in 1971 a 78 vinyl I bought of Marvin Gaye, Whats Going On, play it regularly, it means just ass much to me in my 70's than in my 20's.
Most important song of whatever you've known songwise in your lifetime. This song always means most.
it is amazing how pertanent this song written decades ago about our time back then and recent events and yeah i lived through those times and i am part black and other things and i hate no race and am a trump supporter and i live near pearl harbor and have many good people around me whose forefathers and my forefathers did bad things to each other. peace out my young man.
This classic written and performed by Marvin Gaye was done as a protest against the Vietnam war. Ironic that it still can stand today.
The thing is this song was written back in the day now we realize that we found out, we really haven't progressed as far as we thought we had in a lot of ways.
Discover you today and glad you are checking out my generation of music. We had the best singers from the 60's -2000 era.
Love your channel bro .. in a big marvin gave fan .. send you my love and respect . From Nicaragua
Marvin wrote this song in protest of injustice in America and the Vietnam war (1970s). You can see it's the same s$$t different day.
Listen to it without the video and enjoy his Marvelous vocals.
I think the biggest problem, the definite root of our problems in society today, is the breakdown of the family. It breeds poverty, which breeds resentment, crime, addiction, you name it.
I'm not saying a young woman can't successfully raise outstanding adults by herself because it obviously happens all the time and I'm in awe of them. All the respect in the world for that.
But when you have a man and a woman, (or any gender combo) loving each other and putting their children above all else, the odds are so much better for all involved.
The key though to more strong families is more (much much more) better, good paying jobs and affordable housing.
Marvin's lyrics are just as relavant as they were all those years ago when it was recorded. If only people would just stop, listen and then think! I watched the tanks ( complete with soldiers holding guns) roll down my neighborhood street during the situation in Detroit in 1967. Things like that have a way of sticking with you.
Twon! A follow-up to this must be The Commodores - Night Shift. Tribute to Marvin.
Marvin was ahead of his time and He really had a social conscience that his record label didn't want to promote. I think it's on the same album this song mercy mercy me and inner city blues make me wanna Holler. Teddy swims does M incredible version Of this song and mercy mercy mercy me. The proceeds Went to helping Different Charities.❤
Dope video, dope perspective, and i think the best thing about your channel is that you let the music sit and just jam to it. keep it up
I participated in the BLM March in my city when I got home I cried. It was a victorious day but I cried for those beautiful lives that were lost and that in 2020 we had to March to send a message that we r not going to stand back and let it happen anymore, enough! They did not die in vain, and we will expose racism on the spot wherever we see it!
Speak your mind.
Speak your mind.
Speak your mind.
Marvin at his finest!
They took his song for the 60’s and put it to today
Love your heart, voice, and keeping it real. Times r tough. C Rae. 71 yr old white gramma. Love my Black Brothers.
I become emotional whenever I listen to this, and tears begin flowing very soon into it, and continue throughout. I was 10 when MLK Jr. was shot, and when Marvin sang this a few years later, I thought it was a beacon of hope. It was a beautiful call to see a light in the darkness of that time. "We got to find a way..." I vowed to always try, and I often wonder if I tried hard enough. Even in recent conversations with people of color, I hear many losing hope. We must try. Until I die, I will try.
This song was made 50yrs ago in 1971 ans still relevant today
Everything is everything.
Love your commentary. God, I miss Marvin Gaye. That brother was one enlightened soul. We could use more of his music now.
It's one of the greatest things I've ever heard in my 50 years... Please listen to it 50 more times and avoid what you have heard... Just listen to the song and then think about new things... It's OK but when this song came out it was a different time... The challenges in life are similar but just saying it was a different time... Not changing the subject but it's different.. Peace to all be good everyone...
Marvin Gaye, Let's Get it On....
Interesting how this fits into today's reality since this was done in the 70's while the Vietnam War.
This song is a good cover for today's world. My favorite song of his is Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay. Really cool.
Did you know his father killed him early in his career? Such a shame! He was really on his way up.
This is a big song..............................................................it carries a lotta water.
@UCYP02C-6si3mWyRfsRjKCeQ ~ Thank you for being so open and honest with your thoughts and feelings. I'm 64 and have never seen anything like 2020 in my lifetime either. You and your generation will change our future ~ I wish you all the energy, courage and persistence it will take to get it done. Peace and Love to you, my friend.
I am sorry you didn't feel safe at home. Neither did I. Nxo
Much love to you and yours. I promise you there are more people like me than there are soulless heartless people. I wish I could tell you when everything will be okay, but just like I tell my son, all I can do is promise you that things will always change. Things get better little by little. Great song!
I believe you❤️
@No Limit Twon And the good news is that the people like me who love people for their hearts are raising a whole generation of people who are even smarter than we are. My son Kanon (who I named after a piece of music by Johann Pachelbel) is part of your generation, and you are already changing the world for the better. ❤️
I've loved this song for so long - it taps in to the message everyone with wisdom rests on - without love and striving to come together there is only violence and misery. I don't know why I've always loved Black American music (I'm a freckly lass from Wales, UK) of this era - Otis Redding, Little Richard, Nina Simone, Soloman Burke, to name but a few, but it must be part of why the UK loved Blues and Rock n Roll from the moment the records came off the ships we couldn't get enough, and all our best bands were obsessed from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc etc etc to our very own Tom Jones, 20th century music was born from Black American music. Thankyou for reacting to this music so I can experience it afresh, it was very moving - I travelled from a difficult start to good place now and let music be my guide (I judge people by their music and tend to know who the good guys are as a result) A big Cwtch (hug) to you, and all the good people in USA at this time
That song was from very difficult times in the 60s and 70s I lived in the US at that time racism was a it’s peak riots the Vietnam War . The message in this song if you really I mean really listen to it . It reflects those times but the only thing that help us make it at the end was music. Music for me was the thing that kept me focused 😞Marvin Gaye was a excellent singer I always had and will have great admiration for his talent and music 👍👍👍
ALL TIME GREAT,BY FAR HIS BEST ALBUM.
it meant just as much when he wrote it, but know what you mean with what's going down today. Human beings never cease to amaze, no matter how old you become, how low some will go, treat with respect, love and understanding, its not hard
One of the best protest songs of my generation.
They reworked this video from the 1970s. I like it even though it made me cry. You said this is the craziest time in your life. I'm 49 and it's the craziest time in my generations as well. The last 6 years have changed everyone. 😢 There's so much anger and hate in our society now it's heartbreaking.
Marvin Gaye was a genius.
People saying we haven't gained much ground. I can understand that point of view. As a history student, I think some amazing change has happened in a relatively short amount of time on the timeline. Most people didn't think the world would look like this in 50 years. That people would be talking about this stuff so much. That the pendulum would swing and people be (properly) shamed and cancelled for their prejudices. Sometimes it doesn't feel like enough. It isn't. It isn't perfect or all right. But it's moving. People are changing.
Humans will never stop finding ways to be cruel to each other. We also will never stop finding ways to lift each other.
Peace.
This is The Song of my BABY BOOMER Generation! Says it all; the most beautiful ladies, coolest cars and greatest music ever made!
In college '71; had the greatest brothers as friends. My black brother would say 'what's goin' on nigga?' when seeing me. I would respond 'what's goin' on honkey?' racism? there was none! Never even the word in our thinking. We had the greatest love for each other. Every Friday night in college radio lobby, I was the DJ. We jived, grooved the night away with all the beautiful coeds.
I was 15/16. What an influence!
You are very well spoken. Yes, last year was tragic in so many ways. Injustice brought upon good people too many times to count. As far as shootings, imagine, the day after you spoke here, 10 people lost their lives in Boulder, CO in a grocery store! Sad. I hope the world will heal for better days to come.
He was already Motown's top love man, with many hits. But he wanted to say more. Sad story; several biographies written.
oh, Marvin wish you were still here
This whole album follows the theme of this song and each track on the album flows into one another. Based partly on his observations of the world, and partly on letters his brother sent him while he was fighting in the vietnam war. The whole album is an incredible peice of art. And sadly it still rings just as true today as it did in the 70s.
As a whole album it was incredible.
Love Marvin! Too bad this song was released in 1971 when I was 13 and these are still forefront issues today and I’m 63 😞 I’m tired of so little change 😡 Last year was the craziest, hardest of my life too!
Maya Angelou was my favorite poet. We all have to support each other for what’s right!
I appreciate your perspective on feeling safer at school. I never really thought about it from that perspective. Much respect. Subbed.
I'm 55 and this is definitely the weirdest time I have ever experienced. It's absolutely exhausting. Great reaction and song choice.
I so agree with "exhausting"!! Disturbing, discouraging, disgusting also come to mind. No single adjective can accurately describe this time.🥺
"for only love can conquer hate"
Left us way too soon. Always a favorite.
There is only one race, the human race. There is different enticity though.❤️
Fantastic song
Great song and great artist.
Did your mother ever say," I brought you into this world and I can take you out!" When she was REALLY MAD? Marvin got into drugs and was stealing from his family, so his father took him out. He felt it was the only way left. So very sad.
Great song.
Marvin Gaye was a musical genius-such a voice. Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
I really appreciated your reaction to this classic and sharing your personal story along with it.
All gotta say peace music 🇲🇽
I'm sorry you didn't feel safe @ home. Children should always have a safe place to lay their heads. You are a very smart, caring and compassionate young man. Not alot of men your age possess those qualities. You're a good human. If you decide that children are in your plan, I think you'll be a great Dad.
Lord have mercy .. powerfull song .. what going on ???
Also loved the music of this man. Felt every moment.
The ‘Will Man Ever Learn?’ song
Love the video
