1972 OperationPUSH Expo

So in reference to J's twit about my current employer the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., I did a little research and dug this one up. It's footage from Marvin Gaye's performance at the "Save the Children" concert from September of '72 at the RainbowPUSH Coalition's (then OperationPUSH) 1st annual conference. I always preface any commentary I make in reference to Rev. Jackson with "you can feel some kind of way about Rev. Jackson if you want to" (for many obvious reasons), but at one time, you couldn't deny who he was (and to many, still is) to Black America. The stock Chicago footage in conjunction with this super dope performance make's for (in my opinion) one of the dopest video/live performance montage's ever...and yea, he was bringing them out like no other at this time...Enjoy :-)

They showed this performance on VH1Soul the other night. It was a special on Marvin live performances and I had no idea where it was from. It's coming back on twice tomorrow if anyone is interested. As many know, to me, Marvin is the GREATEST!
