The soul-stirring, eternal bible of new soul
He looks at the hustle and bustle of the city and the contradictions in society, and offers prayers for peace with his compassionate singing voice.
This is Marvin Gaye's masterpiece. The mellow groove that runs throughout the album and the layered chorus elevate the spirituality of music to the utmost. It is a legacy of humanity that should be listened to now, in the 21st century.
