MORE ON SMOKEY ROBINSON

Today, on OutQ, I spoke a bit about Smokey Robinson, but I don't think I did him justice. He's been covered by so many artists, including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan called him "America's greatest living poet," and here's a list of songs that he's written: "Who's Loving You," "You've Really Got A Hold On Me," "Oo Baby Baby," "The Tracks Of My Tears," "Going To A Go Go," "(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need," "I Second That Emotion," "The Tears Of A Clown," "My Guy," "My Girl," "The Way You Do The Things You Do," "Get Ready," "Still Water (Love)" and "Ain't That Peculiar," to name a few.
