Dear Cary complies with Confessions of any Video Vixen in this searing memoir of drugs, making love, and old school R&B from the partner of legendary soul icon Marvin Gaye. On her behalf 17th birthday in 1973, Janice Hunter met Marvin Gaye - the soulful prince of Motown with the seductive liquid voice whose chart-topping, socially conscious album What's Heading On made him a superstar two years before. Despite a 16-year-age difference and Marvin's relationship to the sister of Berry Gordy, Motown's founder, the star-struck teenager and the psychologically volatile singer began a scorching romance. One moment Jan was studying high school record; another she was accompanying Marvin to functions with other pop actors, lounging with Don Cornelius on the group of Soul Teach, and helping to discover new ability like Frankie Beverly. However the distractions and burdens of fame, the chaos of dysfunctional individuals, and the irresistible temptations of drugs overshadowed the love they distributed and their relationship disintegrated. Silent since Marvin's tragic loss of life in 1984, Jan at last opens up, writing the moving, erotically incurred story of one of music history's most fabled marriages. Unsparing in its honesty and insight, After the Dance shows what it's prefer to ride shotgun over a wave of fame and self-destruction with a tortured genius who helped convert popular culture and whose artistry continues to be celebrated today.
