Biggest badass in all of history, I dare you to prove me wrong.

Ok so this gentleman had some hard shit go down in his life. I wont try to summarize his biography here but if you’re interested you should read up (here’s the Wikipedia article). Fortunately he seems to have had the ability to turn some bad shit into incredible music. He made what many people consider to be the best soul album of all time, “What’s Going On.” Only Marvin Gaye can pull off writing a song called “Save the Children.” Peep the videos (check the jacket in “Let’s Get It On”) and if you don’t already have it, do yourself a favor and get the album “What’s Going On.”
