The single paved the way for other Motown artists and helped reinforce the genre’s potential to be a mouthpiece for social justice issues.

But when portions of it were going to be made available for mining, the world stepped in to save it! We THANK YOU for making the petition to save Palawan the "Most Popular" Opportunity (in "Culture").
