In the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press they reported that "What's Going On" was released 50 years ago on this date; in Michigan they have made a "What's Going On" day for this historical event. Marvin's house was very busy during this time, much more than the time after Tammi's death, sometimes I had to walk thru a bunch of people at the house to deliver the newspaper...
I will be frank; I did not like the song back then, I thought it was a weird and too depressing.
