Forest Hairston was a Detroit artist who scored a minor hit with 1966’s ‘We Go To Pieces’. He sold his studio in 1967 to the owners of Ram-Brock
Eventually, Hairston would become a songwriting collaborator with Smokey Robinson. In the early 1970s, however, he moved to Los Angeles and was trying to continue his living in the music industry. That’s when he befriended Marvin Gaye, who would open the door to Motown for Hairston.
