More proof that Smokey Robinson should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, if he isn't already. I hear he's not a very nice person, but hey, we're only human. One cannot deny his talent and drive. I can imagine he would become somewhat haughty after experiencing such success via Motown.
One of Smokey's greatest songs next to Tracks of My Tears. Here's a great story about how great a lyric writer he was. I heard an interview where they asked him if his mom told him to shop around. Smokey told the interviewer his mom died when he was three.
The Tall & Talented Temptations, y'all!

Smokey Robinson is in the R&RHOF...inducted in the 80s...
DeleteAlso never a Temps member, though he did write a couple of their hits...
