MARVIN GAYE "INNER CITY BLUES [MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER]" . . . . ALONG WITH THE GORGEOUS AND PERPETUALLY RELEVANT "WHAT'S GOING ON", ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING PROTEST SONGS OF THE TIME . . . . GAYE DESPERATELY WANTED TO MAKE A VALID CONTRIBUTION TO HIS PEOPLES STRUGGLE . . . . HE NAILED IT WITH A LEGEND ALBUM THAT STILL FLIES THE FLAG TODAY . . . .

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS . . . . FULLY UNIVERSAL AND TIMELESS . . . . A FUCKING TRAGEDY THAT HIS LIFE ENDED IN THE MANNER IT DID . . . . MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER . . . . AND SHED A TEAR AS WELL.
