“Oh, war, is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction then destruction, who wants to die?”

On this day in 1969, #MarvinGaye was at the top of the U.K. singles chart with this classic song written by #BarrettStrong and #NormanWhitfield

“Ooh, bet you're wonderin' how I knew
'Bout your plan to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday”

Remembering the lyrical brilliance of Barrett Strong

“Vote for me and I’ll set you free”

…But don’t think ‘He’ cares…

…and the beat goes on…
