Smokey Robinson Artist Snapshot:

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.

Review

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..."

Title Note

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).

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.
