Smokey’s still got it!........but it’s a pity the whole thing was such a ‘set up’. It was all too obvious. [[And did he have to swear, rather like a teenager trying to sound big/clever?)

Of course it was a set up! But it was fun [[and it was great to see Smokey in action even if was just a 'comedy sketch'). Also, it's a good promotion for the Motown documentary, Hitsville, coming to Showtime next week.

I realise that Eddie, but it was still a bit too stilted and rehearsed for me.....but as you say, great promotion for the documentary.

This no such thing as "Modern Soul Music".

Indeed! There's no such thing as 'modern soul music'. As Marvin & Tammi said, "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing".

There is no current Soul Music scene. I don't care Smokey said, he did not mean that there was one!
