Best known as a running back for the Detroit Lions and UCLA Bruins, Farr was also a good friend of singer Marvin Gaye. Per today’s LA Times, both Farr and Detroit Lions defensive back Lem Barney were playing golf with Gaye when he came up with his classic “What’s Going On.” Moreover, both sang backup on the Motown recording.
If the two Pro Bowl Lions should be remembered for anything, however, it should be for encouraging Gaye to pare his song’s title down from its original: “What’s Going On? I Saw You Move Your Ball!”
