Mojo Hero: Marvin Gaye And The Last Days Of The Motown - Book

Arguably the greatest soul album ever made, What's Going On established Motown star Marvin Gaye as a unique and maverick musical talent. His determination and vision resulted in inspirational and pioneering works that, in the era of Vietnam and the civil rights protests, challenged America to take a long hard look at itself.

Ben Edmonds examines in detail the making of this legendary work -- initially rejected by Motown's quality-control department -- interviewing many of the artists and record company employees closest to the singer, to arrive at a deeper understanding of what the album means. It is, without question, one of the greatest stories ever told.
