The tracks were recently discovered in London

More than 20 handwritten song manuscripts from Marvin Gaye are set to auctioned off.

The auction will take place at the 'It’s More Than Rock ‘N’ Roll' auction in London’s Sound venue on November 29.

The manuscripts had been given to a friend and forgotten about until they recently resurfaced in London.

Other items set to go under the hammer include Madonna’s bustier, the original artwork for The tongue logo, a Jimi Hendrix guitar and a mohair suit worn by John Lennon.
