Bob Dylan once pronounced Smokey Robinson “America’s greatest living poet.” Singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson’s career spans over 4 decades of hits. He has received numerous awards including the Grammy Living Legend Award, NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award, Honorary Doctorate (Howard University), and the National Medal of Arts Award from the President of the United States. Smokey has also been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. Robinson founded The Miracles while still in high school. The group was Berry Gordy’s first vocal group, and it was at Robinson’s suggestion that Gordy started the Motown Record dynasty, of which Smokey was Vice President for many years, serving as in-house producer, talent scout and songwriter. He will be interviewed by David Ritz (Smokey’s collaborator on his autobiography) David Ritz has written biographies of Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and others.
