Grammy-nominated R&B legend Al B. Sure! tells all in this inspiring survivor’s memoir that reveals the untold story of his near-death health emergency, shocking ties to Sean Combs, romance with the late Kim Porter, and the extraordinary highs and life-threatening lows of being a pioneering New Jack Swing superstar.Days after Homeland Security agents raided Sean Combs’s compounds in a federal sex-trafficking investigation, the multiplatinum R&B legend Al B. Sure! claimed that when people heard how he had wound up in a coma two years earlier, they were “really going to need to call Homeland Security.” Al B.’s remarks set off a media firestorm as he speculated about possible ties between his life-threatening medical crisis and Sean Combs. The connections run deep—Al B. Sure!’s ex-wife, Kim Porter, became Combs’s longtime girlfriend and the mother to three of his children before her unexpected death in 2018. An open letter by Quincy Brown, the son of Al B. and Kim, praising Combs as a father figure sparked a media frenzy, as did Al B.’s calls for an investigation into Porter’s death from pneumonia.For years, Al B. Sure! had been ringing the alarm about alleged gang stalking, surveillance, death threats, human trafficking, and psychological warfare against him and others in his orbit. People called him crazy. Now, back from the brink of death, he reclaims his power and his truth in this inspiring survivor’s memoir about one man’s journey to find inner peace despite what he claims were countless attempts to break him.This remarkable story transcends Al B.’s health crisis. It chronicles his journey from the tough streets of Money Earnin’ Mount Vernon to new jack swing stardom, as well as his influential role at Uptown Records—where Combs got his start in the industry as an intern. But of the small group of key figures who were there at Uptown’s founding, Al B. is one of the few still living to tell the whole story.

In the famous photograph of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, one man kneels beside him, trying to staunch the blood. He was an undercover Memphis police officer who had infiltrated the Invaders, a potentially violent Black activist group then in talks with King. This spy, the kneeling man, was Leta McCollough Seletzky's father.Marrell 'Mac' McCollough was a Black man working secretly with the white power structure. This was so far from Leta's own understanding of what it meant to be Black in America that she decided to learn what she could about her father's life-his motivations, his career with the police and the CIA, and the truth behind accusations that he was involved in King's murder. What would Leta uncover, and did she want to know? How might Mac's story change her own feelings about her place in Trump's America?'The Kneeling Man' is a compelling personal and political tale of alienation and ambivalence; struggle, self-definition and compromised choices. Set vividly in the sharecropper South, on the streets of Memphis and in the halls of power, the twists and turns of this one man's life tell the story of twentieth-century Black America.
