Good for him.

[Da Coyote]

He gave “great tunes”.
Hope he recovers and keeps on truckin’.

[Inyo-Mono]

One of my favorite singers.

I’ve listened to a lot of his music and enjoyed it all. Oddly enough, I’ve never the terms “hos” or “bitches” in his love songs. Go figure

I recently saw Otis Williams, the last remaining original Temptation discussing modern music. He doesn’t think much of it.

““You’ve got a lot of young people out there making some really good music,” said Robinson.”

Not really, but other than that this is a nice article and I’m not sure anything negative can be said of his songs or career.

Oh, brother I’m on here for like 10 minutes looking for his new song, “I want to be Beethoven”.

Duh.

So nice to see Mr. Smokey Robinson still going :)

Maybe he SHOULD write ‘I want to be Beethoven’ ;)

A great talent. I am glad to see he is still at it.

[plain talk]

82 years old. Amazing.

He’s one of the great pop lyricists ever to have worked.

[Stosh]

Gonna need a bigger genre (but he is damn good at what he does).

[Trailerpark Badass]

Cruisin” is one of my faves. One of the smoothest songs ever.

Smokey has more talent in his little finger than a 1000 recording “artists” today.

Bob Dylan once called Smokey Robinson “the Poet Laureate of America”. Smokey wrote lots of big hits for other Motown artists including “My Girl” by the Temptations and “My Guy” by Mary Wells. My favorite Smokey Robinson and the Miracles songs are “Tracks of My Tears”, “Ooh Baby, Baby”, and the lesser known but beautiful, ”Baby, Baby, Don’t Cry”.
