Three of Marvin Gaye's songs were political: "What's Goin' on", "Mercy, mercy me", and "This ain't livin' (Make want ta' holler)". Smokey Robinson sang "Abraham, Martin and John". Diana Ross and the Supremes sang "The Happening", but don't remember what 'happened'. Edwin Starr sang "War, what is it good for?", but I'm not sure he was with Motown. ----

The movie is a loose fictionalization of The Supremes and none of the songs were Motown recordings. also see: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Changing
