Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, hey

Father, father, we don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, oh

Picket lines - sister - and picket signs - sister
Don't punish me - sister - with brutality - sister
Talk to me - sister - so you can see - sister
Oh, what's goin' on - what's goin' on, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Heah, what's goin' on - what's goin' on, oh, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Ah ah - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay - right on - right on - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today, oh oh oh

Picket lines - brother - and picket signs - brother
Don't punish me - brother - with brutality - brother
Come on, talk to me - brother - so you can see - brother
Now what's goin' on - what's goin' on, yeah, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Tell me what's goin' on - what's goin' on,
I'll tell you now what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Ooooh - right on - right on - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Soulful music, instead of cheap RAP.

Almost anything but rap.

What has happened to the great soul singers?  I know a few are still around, but they are thought of as classic, not contemporary.  I cannot even stand to listen to the current stuff.  I know that means I am getting old. But still, is Soul a dying genre?  I hope not.  Marvin Gaye, Barry White. Lionel Richie, etc.  Music of love!

There have been a few new soul groups. I can't think of their names right now.

Marvin Gaye, Barry White. Lionel Richie, etc.


I was with you until Lionel Richie.

Exactly.  And we can skip Lionel if you want.  He was just good (at least where I am concerned).

The Commodores pretty much sucked.
