New Smokey Robinson CD - Timeless Love

Heard this on the WPFW today on Jamal Muhammad's Show. "Smokey Robinson Timeless Love" came out on June 20th, 2006. universalchronicles.com

From the 3 cuts I heard, Smokey sounded so good, a review isn't even necessary. Smokey does timeless classics and puts his velvet touch on some of the most romantic Jazz, Big Band and Traditional Pop Standards of the '20's, '30's, and 40s.

*Update - Smokey performed Our Love Is Here To Stay on The Tonite Show with Jay Leno Wednesday night. Nice! In Smokey's words, "These songs were all written in The Era When The Song Was King." Love that quote! The focus wasn't on the artists, it was on the songs! 'Nuff said.
