If any artist could brag about his contribution to the pop culture canon, it’s Smokey Robinson. His career is filled with so many “he was there” moments it’s a wonder he doesn’t recall them with the swagger of a conquering hero: songwriting and singing as a teenager in Detroit; co-founding Motown Records with Berry Gordy; creating 26 Top 40 hits with his group The Miracles; helping to spark racial integration of popular music in the 1960s; discovering hitmakers like Diana Ross and the Supremes; penning tunes for a jaw-droppingly diverse group of artists.

Grateful and Blessed Words + Music by Smokey Robinson is excellent. I knew his story and have been a big fan since the early 60's. It's great to hear him tell his own story. I met Smokey outside the Copacabana in NYC in 1968. As a 19-year old kid I waited to ask for his autograph. He asked if I wanted to meet the rest of the Miracles and took him to their hotel room next to the Copa. What a memory meeting one of my idols. Great Story!
