"Can I Get a Witness" was a 1963 hit song by Marvin Gaye. Another Gaye/William Stevenson collaboration, the song was built among gospel settings and heralded Gaye's beginnings in the church even if the message was about "love gone bad". The song featured Gaye on piano, the Funk Brothers in demand, and members of the Miracles and Supremes in the background accompanying Gaye. The song became such a big hit in both US and UK shores that British musicians like Dusty Springfield and a very young Rod Stewart recorded cover versions of the song. It peaked at #22 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart (though the R&B singles chart had a hiatus around this time) and soon became a memorable catchphrase to any other song released since.

Kant made a distinction between the noumenon and the phenomenon of a thing, he denied that we can know the noumenon, i.e., the thing in itself; all we know is the phenomenon, i.e., the appearance of the thing.
Now in fact we get this by testimony; many supernatural facts are part of this race experience; this supernatural part Hume prejudges, arbitrarily declares it untrue, which is the point to be proved and assumes that miraculous is synonymous with absurd.
Can we not believe that, at our prayer, God may cause the conditions of natural phenomena so to combine that, through His special agency, we may obtain our heart's desire and yet so that, to the ordinary observer, the event happens in its ordinary place and time.
