    Penned by Wil Haygood. Add it to your MUST-READ list. This lyrically-written bio is even better than Sugar's own book.

    You won't be disappointed, G. It's a little light on his formative years 'n the serious mental toll of all his bouts; but you'll get a colorful picture of the world he lived in, and how exciting Harlem was at that time.
