Smokey Robinson Essentials

Smokey Robinson Essentials

He was one of Motown's in-house songwriters in the early '60s. If he'd done nothing else, his legacy would be secure. But Smokey Robinson is one of the greatest soul singers of all time with a sweetness and warmth in his voice that few could match. Getting his start as a '50s doo-wop kid, Robinson formed The Miracles with a gang of Detroit buddies, caught the million-dollar ear of Motown's Berry Gordy and history was set. After The Miracles disbanded in the early '70s, Robinson re-invented himself as the king of grown-up soul, and his smoother-than-smooth hits helped launch an entire genre.
