Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist
Smokey Robinson
Image
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.

It kills me to see people think that, show business is sex, drugs and rock and roll. And I have what you call a meet and greet. I do it before the show. But when I was doing it after the show especially, there would be people who would come back and said, OK, Smoke, where's the party?
Smokey Robinson
Image
Now if I appear to be carefree it's only to camouflage my sadness. In order to keep my pride I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness.
Smokey Robinson

As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.

And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey Robinson

People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.
