The album cover said it all. Instead of the usual smiling Marvin getting ready to sing about love lost and found, here was a man uncertain in the rain. But then as he said, he had a lot to think about. War, enviromental disaster, police brutality, social and racial divisions. The record company (Motown) were nervous, but Marvin got his way. It will be 50 years old in 2021.
