You must own  the special cd commerative edition of "What's Going on"!!!! [remastered]

In September of 2001, superstar artists gathered in New York City to record a new version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," as a call to stop the spread of AIDS in Africa. In the wake of the tragic September 11th terrorist attack in the United States, the artists felt compelled to dedicate a part of the proceeds of "What's Going On" as an inspirational song that calls on all of us to join together to create a world of compassion, healing, and love in all manners of life including AIDS relief.

Nine hot different re-mixes of "What's Going On" appear on this special CD. Source (see lyrics and video)

Next Generation: Nona Gaye (interesting article), (films), Marvin Gaye III, Frankie Gaye

Nona Gaye: "People love my father. They cry on my shoulder because they miss him so much. They want me to be him,"

  • lyrics (az lyrics) - too many popups
    I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
    I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
    I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
    I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
    whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
