"Who's Lovin' You" has to be one of my all time favourite songs

His writing skills were poetic. A true genius.
Even Dylan once described Robinson as "America's greatest living poet."
All time top 10...everytime.

I lOVE Smokey. I have an anthology album with all my favorites. "I Like it Like That" was always a favorite. He was a great producer too. He was very fond of the latin sounds. Alot of great latin touches on Mary Wells' records Smokey produced. One of the greatest singers and songwriters in popular music. Anyone who says different, knows nothing about music.

smokey robinson and the miracles...
 
let me explain something to those of you who don't know...smokey is THE BEST SONG WRITER PERIOD,it doesn't matter what mood you're in smokey has a song for it...you in love[i'll try something new]you lost love[ooo baby baby]you break up with your someone and feeling lost[i can't find]which is the greatest song about lost love ever written which he recorded solo but his many classic hits with the miracles are second to none from his first[mama done told me-1957]to his last[i can't stand to see you cry-1972]he and the miracles lay out a songfeast so pull up a chair and enjoy it all.
