Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (The Hughes Brothers video interpretation) I think this video is the best animated description of Marvin's great message song. I remember first seeing the video at 10 and was taken aback by the images of poverty. "Make me wanna holler..." indeed...! | |

Marvin's best song, IMHO.
But I'm not sure how I feel about the video. The Hughes bros.'s cinematography is beautiful, no doubt, but it's somehow so... obvious.  I'd have liked to see something more stylized and less concrete.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Marvin said it all in that track. | |

Marvin said it all in that track. My favorite is the one done with Nona...It was done years ago. She looked pissed!! "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

The wound was still fresh... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |
