What’s Happening Brother picks up from What’s Going On, strengthening its impact by making its situation more specific: a brother returning from Vietnam and trying to get his bearings on the block again, shifting between questions about old hang-outs and fears that there’s no work anywhere: Say man, I just don’t understand/What’s going on across this. Mercy, Mercy Me is one of the most bearable ecology songs, a genre that doesn’t seem to inspire especially subtle or intelligent lyrics; Gaye’s are inoffensive and the song itself is lovely. Considerably changed from the version that had backed the 45 of What’s Going On, God Is Love still has a strange attraction. It begins, Don’t go and talk about my father/God is my friend, and kinda grows on you. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) ends the album and is one of its finest cuts.
