Original Broadway Cast Of Aint Too Proud -
Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
War
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh, uh-huh
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, yeah
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
That's supposed to be our song, Otis
Norman wrote it for us, didn't he?
The Temps are a crossover group!
Can't use it, Norman
B.G., I'm telling you, it's gonna be a hit!
I can feel it!
Lots of artists have taken a stand against the war
Why can't the Temps?
Because! Once the white audience thinks they know you
You can't go switchin' on them!
TV Black, radio Black - not the same as political Black
You have to serve them music in a way that's digestible
So Norman gave the song to Edwin Starr instead
It was his biggest hit
Comin' in number one on the Billboard charts
One of the most successful protest songs to date
Nobody said I was always right
You want political?
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh, uh-huh
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, yeah
War
Huh

What is it good for?

One of the most successful protest songs to date
Nobody said I was always right
You want political?
