Album Description
There are few artists in the world who define a genre as much as Smokey Robinson does for soul. Whether as a masterful singer or hit songwriter, Smokey's talent and importance to world of popular music is unparalleled. The Definitive Collection & Timeless Love - 50th Anniversary edition, released as a double-disc set on October 30, 2006 delivers a showcase of Smokey at the top of his game, as solo artist, and with the Miracles.

A regular fixture on the UK and US music charts for more than three decades (60s/70s/80s), Smokey is regarded as one of the world's greatest songwriters, having penned for various artists under Motown's roster including Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder. However, this album offers a treasure trove of his own classics from his time with 4-piece the Miracles - his very first hit single Shop Around, through to his most popular and enduring tracks, The Tears Of A Clown and The Tracks Of My Tears. His solo output, ranging from his 70s hits such as Quiet Storm through to his 80s repertoire Being With You, Just To See Her and One Heartbeat, this is the defining collection of Soul's leading man.

For those who haven't heard this singer or anybody who has been a die hard Smokey Robinson fan, this is truly a remarkable collection. As an additional treat, this unique package also includes his latest studio album, Timeless Love, released 2006 through Motown. With these tracks, Smokey puts his velvet touch on some of the most romantic jazz, big band and traditional pop standards of the '20s, '30s and '40s. Included are the tracks Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words), Time After Time, In The Mood For Love and I've Got You Under My Skin.

Smokey is set to return to UK shores in 2007 for an extensive British tour - his first for 12 years.

Customer Reviews

Timeless Smokey!
I've listened to Smokey since I was a little kid when my parents used to regularly play their Motown collection, and subsequently as I built my own collection of various Motown compilations. However, I'd never specifically bought any of his albums.

I decided to change that nearly 3 years ago when I bought this particular boxed set. I'm so glad I did as I absolutely love it, and return to it time & time again. A perfect album to put on an unwind to.

I'm looking forward to buying his latest release.
