Smokey Robinson
I still perform because it's a necessity for my innards. And those songs, some of those songs, I have sung, I don't know how many thousands of times. And I promise you, every single solitary night, they're new to me. They are brand-new to me that night.
Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.
Smokey Robinson
