I'm an old school kind of guy. I love the oldies that my parents would play on the stereo when I was growing up.

Smokey captures this on "Timeless Love"
Some songs will never go out of style. After the Temptations I am a big jazz fan. If you like the Temptations "For Lovers Only" you will really like this one.

This CD is like "Quiet Storm"

Few artists can measure up to the stature of William Smokey Robinson. He is the epitome of a living legend. Whether as a masterful singer or hit songwriter, Smokey's talent and importance to world of popular music is unparalleled. In this special collection, Smokey puts his velvet touch on some of the most romantic jazz, big band and traditional pop standards of the 20s, '30s and '40s plus one of his own songs, I Love Your Face. These are his heart, the tunes he has always wanted to do in this setting. Lush musical arrangements are woven with Smokey's own signature vocal instrument to breathe new life into these wonderful songs.

My favorites are
Fly me to the moon
Night and Day

Oh yeah, now this does sound worthwhile. I can hear Smokey singing these songs easily. "Fly Me to the Moon" definitely.
