How close is this in terms of "What's Going On?"  This was definitely progressive at the time.


"Love Child": late '68
"What's Goin On": early '71

Late '68 is when Motown "discovered" social realism -- Temps did "Cloud Nine" and "Runaway Child" then too.


checked my Whitburn & you are totally correct, the corresponding chart entry dates are: 10/26/68 (my best friend from HS's b-day) and 3/6/71 (MY b-day!)

Makes me wonder why Marvin had so much trouble getting WGO recorded, which is why I was asking.

Jeezus, this news clip about dead bodies is bizarre!

I think the issue with WGO was that Marvin wanted creative (producing/writing) control, whereas "Love Child" was the usual Motown staff creation, "daring" as the lyrics may have been.
