Description

After the Dance: My Life with Marvin Gaye A candid and unflinching memoir of the tumultuous relationship between Janis Hunter and Marvin Gaye, the legendary soul icon. In the 1970s, Janis, a high school student at the time, met Marvin, a charismatic performer with a voice that would become synonymous with Motown. Despite their significant age difference and Marvin's marriage, the two began a passionate and all-consuming relationship that would take them to the heights of fame and the depths of personal struggle. As Janis navigates the glamorous world of 1970s celebrity, she must confront the challenges of fame, the chaos of her own family, and the irresistible temptations of drugs. With unflinching honesty, Janis shares the moving and fervently charged story of her marriage to Marvin, a union that would ultimately prove tragic. With sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, After the Dance offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a music legend and the woman who loved him.
