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.

This book got a 5 star rating from me because it was written very well. But this relationship was so toxic, so all consuming, so draining and chaotic it's unbelievable. As beautiful as his songs were, the ones that spoke of peace and love Marvin thrived off of chaos. It was like a slow torture. And he didn't mind torturing himself in the process. He was a very conflicted man. He was shy but loved and constantly sought attention from others, he hated working and lacked motivation yet he was always in the studio recording, he was a frivolous, impulsive spender who hated to work and make money lol. Although Jan didn't outright say it he seemed extremely jealous of other artist. He was extremely insecure even though he feigned confidence. They were high from the start of their relationship until the end. Honestly he seemed bi-polar or in the 70s and 80s they probably would've said he was manic depressive and the drugs only made it worse and heightened his paranoia. He also was one who liked to cause storms. He would push Jan into situations that she didn't want to be in. Only for her to figure how his mind worked after a while then do exactly what he accused her of doing just to spite him in her own way. And yes it'll probably be easy for some to say "how could he coerce her into the thing's she did? She did them willingly." She was definitely coerced because she was high, she was 17 and he was a 34 year old married man with a child and he drilled in her head how the reason his and Anna's relationship didn't work was because she was too "domineering, controlling and mother-like" and he preferred a more demure, meek, submissive woman. And she really tried to be that for a while. He liked to play mind games with her emotions. Give her love then take it back. Show her affection and attention then deprive her of it. He was a master manipulator. The only person who seemed to have him pegged was his brother Frankie. But then it got bad and they went from having a rollercoaster relationship to a hamster wheel relationship. It just kept going in circles and they couldn't get off no matter how sick it made them. They were both two broken people who didn't need to be in relationships with anyone other than God. They just couldn't seem to get over their failures. Life had failed them both. Their parents failed them and ultimately they failed each other. I started this book and a few pages in I was disgusted with him and his attraction to young girls. I was disgusted with the things Jan was doing at 14, 15, 16 and 17. I was even more disgusted that her mom let her do it. And I finished this book still disgusted but with a better understanding of both of their traumas that drew their dysfunction to each other like a moth to a flame. He liked causing confusion and chaos and creating a challenge because it was the "Berry way" it was the "Motown way" and she honestly didn't feel like she deserved any better because she'd loved him since she was 8 years old and had saw him on tv. She thought he was a prize and shrunk herself and her dreams in order to help him fulfill his. This is a sad, cautionary tale of sex, love, soul, rhythm, blues, drugs, SEX, chaos, SEX, drugs and did I mention SEX!!!! Y'all really out here muting R. Kelly but he was R. Kelly in the 70s #MuteMarvinGaye because all the songs y'all liked from 1973-1983 were about a little girl.
