kkk"Research at depth and previously unpublished revelations make this adroitly told biography of soul singer Marvin Gaye hard to put down."

From the Publisher
When Marvin Gaye was shot and killed by his own father in 1984, the world lost one of its greatest singers. Although his fans were stunned, the singer's friends, knowing the violence that cocaine had created in Gaye, weren't surprised that the killer was found to have acted in self-defense. In intriguing detail, Sharon Davis charts Gaye's extraordinary, often turbulent career, including his tempestuous relationship with the record company Tamla Motown and its legendary head Berry Gordy. She follows Gaye's struggle for artistic independence and details his successes with singles like "Can I Get a Witness?" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" to the epoch-making album ''What's Going On?" and beyond. A superb biography of one of the most original music talents of his time. Sharon Davis is considered a leading authority on Motown history. She is the author of "Motown: The History" and "Diana Ross: A Legend in Focus."
