What's going on
-Marvin Gaye


Activist music, still so poignant, now as the careless politicians, who will never see the battle front, continuously beat the war drums.

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long?
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today, oh-oh

On this day in 1972, the Bill Withers single “Lean on Me” debuted on the UK Singles chart at #48 (August 12)
The timeless song went all the way to #1 in the US, and stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks, peaking at #18 in the UK, #20 in Canada, and #24 in Australia.
It’s ranked #208 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Interestingly “Lean on Me” is one of only nine songs in history to have reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with versions recorded by two different artists, the other being the Club Nouveau version in 1987.
Withers recalled to SongFacts the original inspiration for the song:
"I bought a little piano and I was sitting there just running my fingers up and down the piano. In the course of doing the music, that phrase crossed my mind, so then you go back and say, 'OK, I like the way that phrase, Lean On Me, sounds with this song.'"
Withers stated in the same interview that he made an effort to keep the lyrics simple.
