One of the true masters of American music opens up about his astonishing 50-year career as a singer, songwriter, producer and record executive. Arguably the lynchpin without whom the Motown sound would never have happened, Smokey Robinson has been responsible for many of the biggest and most influential R&B/pop songs of all time, and in this captivating profram he discusses some of them – and sings a couple as well. Along the way, he chares inside stories about Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and many others. Smokey also sings a surprising cover of a newer song made famous by Norah Jones. To conclude the show, Smokey and Elvis collaborate on a duet performance of Smokey’s classic “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me.”
