🎶 BROTHER, BROTHER, BROTHER, 🎶
is one of the most recognisable verses from the song What's Going On, from Marvin Gaye's album of the same name, released in January 1971. The song was written by Marvin Gaye, Renaldo Benson and Al Cleveland, inspired by the police brutality witnessed by Benson in California in the 60s. A current reality, not only saw in police forces but also structural, micro and macro. This verse becomes a strong expression, a cry, a manifesto for equality, for brotherhood, a social and political anthem for love.
