About

Smokey Robinson, a true legend of R&B and soul music, delivered a captivating performance at a recent Tiny Desk concert. At 83 years old, Robinson's timeless falsetto shone as he treated the audience to classics like "Being With You" and "The Tears Of A Clown," a hit he co-wrote with Stevie Wonder. The concert also showcased his new album, Gasms, with tracks like the romantic "Beside You" and the standout sax solo in "If We Don't Have Each Other." Robinson closed the concert with the infectious "Cruisin'," bringing the audience together in a moment of musical connection.

Throughout his illustrious career, Robinson has not only been a key architect of the Motown sound but also a prolific songwriter, record producer, and former record executive. As the founder and frontman of The Miracles, he led the group to success with his songwriting and production skills before embarking on a solo career. Robinson's contributions to popular music have earned him numerous accolades, including induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize, and multiple stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2022, he was further honored with induction into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame, solidifying his status as a true icon in the music industry.
