    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.

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

    Can't agree there. As Smokey says, 'soul music is community'. A wonderful find; thanks!

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