Last week. I saw 'Redlands' at Chichester Festival Theatre, based on the Jagger/ Richards/ Faithfull drugs bust in 1967. Very entertaining evening and the cast made a good fist of playing the Stones' version of this Marvin Gaye classic: "Can I get a witness?"

Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

This with 'Mercy, Mercy Me' and 'Inner City Blues' are, for my money, a trilogy of such brilliant songs commentating on the social ills of that time which sadly, are still relevant today.
His voice was incredible but on this track, he was simply sublime. To think, he had to convince Berry Gordy to release 'What's Going On' too.

100% this and indeed a crying shame that almost 55 years later nothing has changed.

Still grooving in my twilight years to this great thread, so many TM tunes that bring back wonderful memories of my teenage years

That's a new one on me, Wood.
Lovely. More rambling than most Motown songs, but it really fits the mood of the tune.
Gorgeous. Thanks.
Generally, I agree that Marvin breaking free of the factory mode was the high point Motown, creatively and musically. Simply sublime music and sentiments.

Got my Motown toons playing on Spotify as I type following the Hoops on the BBC.
Here's a lyric from the Ecology Song: '...Oil wasted upon our oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury...' And he wrote this in 1971, when Sandro was a mere 34 years of age...

He's also got us speaking Gaelic. When folks die now, I knock out what he posts on here. No idea what the f..k I am saying, I could be insulting the dead for all I know, but it has more cache when you say it over, sorry for your loss!
Fair play to him, I've become a big fan of 'Briolingo'...someone should set him up on an app or suchlike.
