 Smokey Robinson Biography
Smokey Robinson is widely regarded as the original poet of R&B. No less an authority than Bob Dylan has publicly proclaimed him as a uniquely gifted lyricist. In Motown's mid-1960s prime, Smokey wrote hits for a number of the label's artists, and with the Miracles he pioneered a sophisticated brand of soul that made use of pop melodicism and his own sophisticated lyrical sensibilities. From the '70s onward, he made consistently substantive solo recordings, focusing on the soft, romantic style typified by his landmark 1975 album, A QUIET STORM.
