| | Smokey Robinson Quiet Storm Vinyl LP Record Smokey Robinson Discography of CDs
Smokey Robinson invented a style of songwriting and singing that influenced artists as diverse as James Taylor, Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Boyz ll Men and Linda Ronstadt, to name just a few. Smokey's gentle, sensual vocals are effortlessly delivered but completely captivating. No less an authority and devoted fan than Bob Dylan once called Smokey Robinson, "the greatest living poet in a America today." 1975's A QUIET STORM contains all the patented Smokey touches: the sweet irresistible melodies; the slow-dancing ballads; the jump-for-joy love songs. You can't go wrong with a Smokey Robinson record, no matter what it's decade of origin, but this is perhaps his definitive '70s album, defining a smooth, contemporary R&B style that would be emulated for decades to come. As exemplified by A QUIET STORM, Smokey's gift is constant and genuine.
Personnel: Smokey Robinson (vocals); Marv Tarplin (guitar); Michael Jacobsen (electric cello); Fred Smith (winds, horns); Russ Turner (keyboards); Joseph A. Brown, Jr., Gene Pello (drums); James "Aliba" Sledge (bongos, congos).
Q (10/99, p.161) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Motown Records Of All Time - "...sophisticated....the album is...perfect for the witching hour; warmly seductive and suavely sexy without a hint of sleaze, topped with Robinson's high, airy vocal..." Quiet Storm Review

Purchase Quiet Storm CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Black Eyed Peas E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) CD (2009)
Quiet Storm album
 $9.99    
Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's MONKEY BUSINESS, Black Eyed Peas have returned with THE E.N.D. (an acronym for "Energy Never Dies"), their third studio effort. Combining Will.I.Am's thumping 808 kick drum-infused beats with production assistance from a host of collaborators (including vocoder-loving Torontoians MSTRKRFT and French house veteran David Guetta), BEP's infectious party-time rhymes are an easy match for the album's Ed Banger-style of electro rapping and Auto Tune jamming, especially on ...
| | Michael Jackson - Video Greatest Hits - History DVD (1995) Special Edition
Quiet Storm CD music

In connection with the release of Michael Jackson's "HIStory" album--a compilation of his greatest hits which spans the decades of his diverse, spectacular pop career, this release features Jackson's ten most famous short music films.

Included are the videos for "Billie Jean," "Thriller," and "Bad."
This first volume of Michael Jackson's video greatest Hits History features top music videos, as well as a never before seen 18 minute version ...
| | Vince Vance & The Valiants All I Want For Christmas Is You CD (1993)
Quiet Storm music CDs
$12.05 
This album's title track remained a holiday favorite within the country community during the '90s, even as Vince Vance struggled to establish himself as more than a one-hit novelty act. Despite the artist's struggles, his song remains a minor modern classic and received airplay year after year. Nothing else here is remotely worth bothering with. Sure, ...
| | Anthony Hamilton Point Of It All CD (2008)
Quiet Storm songs
$8.99 
Not simply a crooner with a great voice, Anthony Hamilton is also a multi-talented songwriter, arranger, and producer in the tradition of visionary, self-directed artists like Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers, and Curtis Mayfield. THE POINT OF IT ALL is the North Carolina native's fourth proper full-length and it finds Hamilton comfortably ensconced in the same blend of organic instrumental textures, preprogrammed drum loops, and warm `70s soul signifiers that served him so well on 2005's AIN'T NOBODY WORRYIN'. The album's lead single, "Cool," is propelled by a deep bass-drum thump, supplemented by bright guitar arpeggios, an understated Fender Rhodes riff, ...

| | Ultimate Phyllis Hyman CD (2004) Remastered
Quiet Storm CD music
$8.99
Recorded between 1977 & 1995. Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
Out of all the Phyllis Hyman compilations -- of which there were roughly a dozen floating around by early 2004 -- Ultimate Phyllis Hyman is one of the more desirable looks at the singer's career. This works as an abbreviated version of 1996's two-disc The Legacy of Phyllis Hyman, and it focuses on the hits that were most popular, all the while including a handful of album cuts. Since it considers her stints with numerous labels (Buddah, Philadelphia International, Arista, Zoo), it holds an advantage over a number of compilations that rely on a specific era. "Loving You, Losing You," "Can't We Fall in Love Again," "Don't Wanna Change ...
| | Byron Bogues Iiawah M Remixes Vinyl LP (2008) (Import)
 $19.99 | | Nada Surf Weight Is A Gift Vinyl LP (2005)
Quiet Storm music CDs
$17.05
Though it was poised for major-label alt-rock greatness in the late 1990s before being derailed by a novelty hit, Nada Surf truly hit a creative stride after signing to Barsuk Records in the early 2000s. Co-produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla, THE WEIGHT IS A GIFT (2005) shows that indie status suits this Brooklyn trio just fine, as the band runs through an impressive set of highly melodic guitar-driven songs.
Nada Surf have always had a knack for mixing up speeds within the construct of basic indie rock, and its fourth record is no exception. The trio opens with the breezy power pop of "Concrete Bed," creates one of the more sincere ...

Quiet Storm songs
$17.89
Estranged from Dan the Automator, Kool Keith turns to the booming-bass and seething-synth production of Kutmaster Kurt with yet another maniacal alter ego on FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. After icing Dr. Octagon on the intro, Dr. Dooom boldly brings it to virtually every rap artist alive on "No Chorus" and then goes on a masterfully murderous ego ...
