After following the ugliness in Washington all day today, I’m happy to return to Jamilah King’s tribute to the enduring power of soul music, prompted by the drop of Cee-Lo’s latest album today. We’re bringing the day’s two story lines together in today’s love, courtesy of Marvin Gaye. As the man sang, We’ve got to find a way, to bring some lovin’ here today. We figure that watching the first black president approve tax cuts for millionaires while refusing to halt foreclosures or fight for real jobs probably has a lot of you asking, What’s going on? Marvin is with you. He says only love can conquer hate, maybe it works for economic injustice too. Sing Marvin, sing.
