APROPOS
For how i'm feeling tonight.
Sometimes i turn on the news and its just like...
Yeah.
The above is a live performance of What's Going On/Whats happening brother from the "Save The Children" Concert held in Chicago in 1973. Directed by Stan Lathan(Sanaa Lathan's Father)
This song, as well as this production - is a work of art. Marvin recorded the album in 1971, and is relevant as it was then, its even more relevant today. (What's happening brother especially heavy)
If you have nine minutes, watch this video.
The incomparable James Jamerson on Bass (delivering one of the sweetest basslines EVER)
Eddie "Bongo" Brown on the Congas
Marvin on Piano.
Never has socially conscious introspection sounded so exquisite.
(also, i may have to learn how to play bass.)
