LEGENDARY MR ROBINSON
The triple threat that is Smokey , insures that there isn’t even a second place, Smokey Bill had over twice as many chart hits then even those popular Philly Superstars, The Stylistics. His Legendary run with hit after hits. He served as the catalyst that lead Motown rise to fame in fortune While he added jet fuel to other superstar careers w over 100 penned charted hits,CHECK THIS!!
Who’s Loving You - Michael Jackson ,Mary Wells -My Guy
along w Temptations - My Girl + ..Get Ready those 4 have sold more than the whole
Stylistics catalogue combined.
Throw in the fact he was Motown’s first signed artist and was MOTOWN VP IN addition to being the only soul artist who had such an influential Song they named a nationwide radio format after
it, QUIET STORM
“ when you sigh , Weak am I ,a butterfly caught up in your hurricane lucky me umbrella free ,suddenly, I’m caught up in your summer rain, “
And his tenor had butter in it when we heard the opening to TRACKS “ people say Im the life of the party cause I tell a joke or two” girls would melt for me when I cued that up, and later in same tune , this metaphorical admission of the truth that represented his humility not just as the character in the song , but also as the professional who inspired Bob Dylan to refer to him as America’s greatest Living Poet. I mean, how cool and iconic are these words?
“ outside im masquerading, inside my high hopes keep fading. I’m just a clown. Oh, yeah, since you put me down my smile is my make up since my break up with you.”
Other than that I don’t have any opinion on the subject

- Comment from author about the poem: Next to the Beatles, Smokey Robinson is the most successful songwriter in history this little known, and I don’t know why it doesn’t get any credit, but read it and praise him because that is the guy

They had other plans for him, to parade him center stage, he was so pretty! I’m glad you write with your sharp pen to recognize that he is much more and yet I think the modern music industry is still the same. That’s why I close my eyes or never look up the images of a new artist. Funny the attractive never get respected the same:))

SKY UP
'Cause I'm like the dark in the middle of the night You're the stars, you're my only source of light You're the only one around when it's all falling down You try and you try and you try and you try To stop the crash and you do it every time But I'm a river of tears that'll never dry up Do you ever get tired of holding the sky up?
