It sure did help, music in general brought us together, first with the Jewish young people being drawn to black music - them being a persecuted people too, then bringing non-Jewish friends with them, like Michael Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield in Chicago.

He was godly made in his image otherworldly Im convinced

[@wycliffemontgomery6381]

Absolutely 😊

[@sonofjudah535]

Really! He built a bridge between black & white? This song was out in early 70s.. black men, women and children were being killed and treated horribly by whites. By the police and white citizens. Blacks were being discriminated against, lynched and falsely accused. Let’s not talk about the drugs and alcohol that were being put into our communities. All at the expense of a system of “white supremacy” to destroy the black family. It’s 2024 and NOTHING!! Has changed. Another young black male was found in North Carolina…Lynched!! So where and when was this”bridge” built and what happened to it? If there ever were a bridge. White folks burned it down!

I'm 73 yr old woman and I still tear up listening to this song. The lyrics still have an impact on "what's going on" today ❤

[@solcalderon726]

Inmortal Marvin❤😊

[@if6was929]

"... but who are they to judge us, simply 'cause our hair is long..." has always struck me as an important lyric. It was Marvin's shout out to the counterculture. There was a time when white middle class kids had a taste of what it was like to be treated like a person of color. Back then, if you had long hair, most places wouldn't hire you, you were profiled by the police, pilloried by politicians, harassed by right wing hardhats in the north and rednecks in the south and shot at on college campuses. An affinity was felt between the long haired and young black people, they called each other brother and sister. That one lyric is like a history lesson.

4-Sure. There’s just no real R&B today. Rapp ( crap) is useless. It so disrespectful, and glorifies violence, money and abusing women. Unfortunately it has been a bad influence on so many black youth.

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Not just "Black" music.....

[@studid55]

@@Mark-gg6iy A little out of context Mark. But um @smustipher, I am in agreement! Its like our people slipped into the thing we were fighting... We lost the fight. All my aunts and uncles that were around before civil rights and had to drink from the colored fountains got full educations... all eight of them. they grew up picking cotton. Now, all 24 of their children (my cousins), only some of the females have educations while all the males have no education. My brother and I are the first in the family of men born past 1956 to have taken the opportunity to RISE up! Unfortunantly the music reflects this... Its not a bad thing, its just whats happening brother!

[@bonitaphinney1529]

@@brucebarclay1967 I made that comment, because I grew up in sixties, an era when Black people were fighting for equality and social justice in our schools, and housing. However in 2023 we are still fighting for the same things. In Baltimore, like most urban cities, is plagued with gun violence, drugs , mass unemployment, and poverty, and police corruption. But people were fighting against these problems in the sixties. There were drugs, but not an epidemic. We had strong leaders, who took the bullet for standing up against the status quo. But today young Black men are killing each other , and I ask the same question "What's going on "?

[@beeshor1]

@@beckyperez5282 What keeps me shining? It was a question you posed to sister Mary Siegel. But if you'll allow me, I'd like to add my two cents. What keeps me shining is much the same as you. I, too, have chronic health problems. The product of a life lived recklessly, in my case. At any rate, the cause is less important than the fact that the problems now exist. At least it is to me. Nonetheless, I still find myself smiling and enjoying just the state of existing whenever I hear music from my youth which reminds me of better times. So my answer is much the same as yours. Sorry I took so long to get to where you already started all of this. Thank you for allowing me this chance at introspection.

Best album i have ever heard

[@mickfoskett6629]

@@kevinthomas522 ..Spot on mate..for a whole album to have EVERY track so good and relevant is/was so rare..Marvin was a musical genius!🎵🎶🇬🇧🎷

[@Frostie-e8g]

Almost forgot how gifted a piano player Mr. Marvin Gaye was. Pure heaven.

[@twowaymuir]

So strange that he was shot by his Father. "Father Father we don't need to escalate" One of my most favorite Singer songwriters. Hard to surpass.

[@charlesmoehrke3642]

His father was a "old school" preacher and they got in an argument about the Sexual Healing Album. Great album that didn't sit well with his father. Shame really, 2 lives wasted.

[@locadisa]

@@charlesmoehrke3642 I thought that the conflict was about a disagreement between his father and mother and then he intervened. I also heard that tensions were already high in the household because of his 24hour activity at the home. Marvin was talking off of the top of head because of his drug abuse, paranoid and was potentially suicidal.

[@unc1589]

@@charlesmoehrke3642 uhhhh nah my dude. His father was a “no school” preacher who tried to lay down the law while dressed up in his wife’s clothes. A truly disturbed man who Marvin was ashamed of all his life.

[@locadisa]

@@unc1589 True. It was amazing how all of them in the household tolerated it for so long. Several sisters and a brother stood by and allowed it to continue. Marvin was always the defiant one. If he had not left home at an early age he might have ended up just like the two sisters......struggling.

The Funk Brothers at their peak. And James Jamerson's bassline is one of the all-time greatest basslines ever in any genre. He called it the greatest line he ever played, despite there being dozens of great lines he's played in numerous songs. This line should be in every bassist's repertoire for their own legitimacy as a player.

[@richardseegman803]

The greatest soul singer of all time. Don't know what else to say . . .

[@terrancegolden762]

I'm a 1968 baby, Army veteran. Grew up with parents playiing vinyl records of Marvin G. on Curtis Mathis TV/record player on Saturdays. It was about the hustles on Saturdays card games, dice, numbers, pool, house parties, Black Panthers Organizations, civil rights, our people are enviied and hated at the same time. The struggle is still real.

I heard this song in my teens, it stopped me in my tracks and i listened , i'm a white uk 66 year old i've aged but this song resonates throughout time and changed my whole perception of music and the message it can send, if only they could build trillion watt speakers and hang them in space between satellites so the whole world could hear it in every language across every nation then maybe just maybe millions listening no matter of race or colour would turn to each other and realise we are all distant brothers and sisters gathered together on one tiny planet and within each of us posses the power to love each other.
