#SmokeyRobinson hledal, jak má jeho sólová hudba vlastně znít. Na A Quiet Storm si dovolil něco prostého: nespěchat. Obě strany LP otevírá dlouhá skladba a „quiet“ tu rozhodně neznamená bez pohybu. Kritika se přitom neshodla, zda slyší soustředěnost, nebo příliš mnoho sentimentu. O rok později si název desky vypůjčilo rádio WHUR.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #SingInTheChanges. One of my favorite album tracks from the #Motown repertoire:
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles: My Baby Changes Like the Weather (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qw5TcG-L78Unlike most of the other Miracles recordings at the time, this song was not written by Smokey Robinson. It was penned by Hal Davis and Frank Wilson, both of whom were working at Motown's outpost in Los Angeles.

"Two Lovers" is a single released in 1962 by #MaryWells on the #Motown record label. The song was the third consecutive hit to be both written and produced by #SmokeyRobinson of #theMiracles and recorded by Mary Wells, the two previous charters being "The One Who Really Loves You" and " #YouBeatMeToThePunch." The song's cleverly devised lyrics at first appear to be about a girl singing to one lover who is "sweet and kind" and a second who treats her bad.

#smokeyrobinson #smokey #soul #funk #seventiesmusic #seventiessoul #musicsky #musiciansky #smokeyrobinsonandthemiracles #motown Smokey Robinson releases his debut solo album on June 19, 1973. After departing The Miracles, Smokey hitched up with Willie Hutch and set out to create an album that was more smooth soul and funk that his stuff with the band. Smokey could touch on more personal stuff and what was going on in the world in the early 70's.
