MARK Arthur Miller
“Soul Searching”
*Livestream Available*
“Soul Searching” is an energetic, rhythmic, sexy dive into the music of Detroit, Motown and of Ron Miller, who happens to have been Mark’s dad and writer of the classic, “For Once in My Life,” memorably recorded by Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett and 200 others. While his dad was in Detroit writing music at Motown for Stevie, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and many more, Mark was growing up 300 miles away in Chicago, unaware his dad was a successful hitmaker. Miller weaves a true-life tale of his soulful affair with the music he describes as “part of his DNA.” It was the soundtrack of his life growing up on Chicago’s South Side, where he struck a goldmine of cultural experience. Mark later discovered his dad’s name on a 45rpm record. Reconnected with the elder Miller, a bond was formed, and through Ron’s work Mark frequently found himself in the company of idols Stevie, Smokey, Diana, and more. “Soul Searching” includes the music of Ron Miller, other Motown favorites, and original music by Mark Arthur Miller.
