Happy 77th Birthday to one of the pioneers of Motown, the great William "Smokey" Robinson Jr, born February 19, 1940. Throw on your favorite Miracles album or CD Sunday and reflect on the contributions this great man made to Motown, and the music world in general.
Smokey was very deserving of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. If you have not seen the show, catch it on your local PBS station. Such a humble man, and a living legend. Here's to many more birthdays Smokey!
