A riveting cautionary tale about the ecstasy and dangers of loving
Marvin Gaye, a performer passionately pursued by all-and a searing
memoir of drugs, sex, and old school R&B from the wife of
legendary soul icon Marvin Gaye. After her seventeenth birthday in
1973, Janis Hunter met Marvin Gaye-the soulful prince of Motown
with the seductive liquid voice whose chart-topping, socially
conscious album What's Going On made him a superstar two years
earlier. Despite a seventeen-year-age difference and Marvin's
marriage to the sister of Berry Gordy, Motown's founder, the
enchanted teenager and the emotionally volatile singer began a
scorching relationship. One moment Jan was a high school student;
the next she was accompanying Marvin to parties, navigating the
intriguing world of 1970s-'80s celebrity; hanging with Don
Cornelius on the set of Soul Train, and helping to discover new
talent like Frankie Beverly. But the burdens of fame, the chaos of
dysfunctional families, and the irresistible temptations of drugs
complicated their love. Primarily silent since Marvin's tragic
death in 1984, Jan at last opens up, sharing the moving, fervently
charged story of one of music history's most fabled marriages.
Unsparing in its honesty and insight, illustrated with sixteen
pages of black-and-white photos, After the Dance reveals what it's
like to be in love with a creative genius who transformed popular
culture and whose artistry continues to be celebrated today.
