Nowhere to Run

Nowhere to Run: The Story of Soul Music is a unique oral history. Here are the recollections of many of the giants of soul�Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Mary Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Screaming Jay Hawkins, and Wilson Pickett. These and other interviews, many of them exclusive, add up to a brilliant anecdotal portrait of the music and the life.
