Goings is no stranger to the music industry. He first gained widespread recognition as the lead singer of Santa Esmeralda, a disco band that was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band’s biggest hits were their covers of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “House of the Rising Sun,” which featured Goings’ soaring vocals and a Latin-inspired sound that set them apart from other disco acts of the time. But while Santa Esmeralda may have been known for their disco covers, Goings’ solo work has a more classic rock sound that harkens back to the music he grew up with.
“World at War” is a perfect example of this, with its driving guitar riff, pounding drums, and Goings’ gritty vocals. It’s a protest song in the tradition of classic rock acts like Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, with lyrics that speak to the political and social issues of our time. What’s striking about “World at War” is how well it holds up against modern protest rock acts like Rise Against. While the sound may be retro, the message is as relevant as ever, and Goings’ delivery is every bit as powerful as the younger generation of protest rockers.
It’s a testament to his skill as a songwriter and performer that he’s able to take on such weighty topics and make them feel fresh and urgent. One of the things that sets Goings apart from many of his contemporaries is his longevity in the music industry. With a career spanning over 50 years, he’s seen the industry change dramatically, and yet he’s still finding ways to stay relevant and make meaningful music. It’s a testament to his talent and his dedication to his craft that he’s been able to keep going for so long.

It’s clear that Goings is still passionate about making music and that he has a lot to say.
“World at War” is a call to action, a reminder that we’re living in tumultuous times and that it’s up to us to make a difference.
