I had a miscarriage once and it was honestly one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I became pregnant after that and was so nervous the entire time because in the back of my mind I thought I was gonna lose that baby too. 😢 Talk about anxiety through the roof! It was a stressful 9 months but in the end I gave birth to a healthy baby!
In between our four healthy children we had one .....and the heartbreaking thing was the baby was almost full term .....we had already named him Thomas .....and we still celebrate his birthday every year.
Carrying and delivering a child is nothing less of a miracle! If you only knew how much has to go right and the divine timing for a baby to be born. Unfortunately, miscarriages and infertility is very common. 😔❤️🕊️
I heard on another interview Smokey did, he wrote the song "Since I Lost My Baby" because of all the miscarriages he and his wife went through. I love listening to Smokey talk about Motown and all the different artist that came through there. Thank you DJVLAD for this great interview. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing that. I heard that he had written the song “More Love” for his wife, due to the miscarriages. I had no ideal there were multiple ones.
I love the fact that he is speaking on how he felt about those miscarriages in the premature babies, because often times men are discarded with their feelings when it comes to the birth of their children, or losing children
So devastating, but I’m glad they were able to have two kids (Berry and Tamla) after that. Their son Berry is named after Motown founder Berry Gordy, and their daughter Tamla is named after one of the many subsidiary labels of Motown.
Oh my God Smokey I'm so sorry I know this happened years ago but to hear you talk about it it's so heartbreaking and I'm so sorry. While he was telling the story I wanted to hug him so badly ❤️❤️❤️
You never get over miscarriages just learn how to deal with it. It's a feeling you just can't explain to anyone unless they have experienced it. So many questions run through your mind.
All the pain and suffering they went through only for Smoke to cheat and have an outside child later on that eventually lead to divorce almost 30 yrs later! SAD
I thought about myself and my mother with her having me after 9 miscarriages 🤦🏾♂️I was her only child. But the story about the twin girls was DEEP yo 🥺
I swear Claudette is one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen in my life. Even til this very day, she is still arguably gorgeous. The loudest voice in The Miracles too!
Praises to Claudette for putting the needs of the guys first for them to make money over her own health! Just wow! And too all those women that have suffered bless y'all for dealing with such a painful a d traumatic experience. Also got to give it up for Smokey for sharing that!
Like like the fact of how Smokey seems to tell his experiences as though it were yesterday. Sure miss the days when he and the Motortown Revue would come to Philly, and do shows at the Uptown Theater, which was dynamite and within walking distance to our house.
It's so sad that he and his wife had to go through this. And yet so many women just so casually go down to the abortion clinic and dispose of the children like it was nothing
My grandmother has 7 miscarriages before she had my dad and my aunt. And when you look at my dad's birth certificate it States on the birth certificate 7 previous miscarriages, I'm not sure why but it does.
I wonder if Smokey's adulterous conduct, particularly with Diana Ross was one of THE MAIN CAUSES of his wife, Claudette experiencing stress which resulted in some of those miscarriages? 🤔

Congratulations!
First time my mom had a miscarriage was during the Israeli independence Day back in the mid 80s before my two other sibs were born
Blessings to you 🙏🏿
@@terrellhubbard That’s so nice of you thank you so much!
@@AfricanusKing Thank you so much!
My wife had three miscarriages before we had our first child. They were heartbreaking.
It's rough brother. Congrats on your first though. 🙏
I feel you. Toughest ish ever for a couple

@@curtismichael4703 You’re exactly right
Thanks for that information ......never realized the connection.
It would take about hundred life times to live it down ...wear it down ....
It was More Love, not Since I Lost My Baby. Both are great songs though!
I love the fact that he is speaking on how he felt about those miscarriages in the premature babies, because often times men are discarded with their feelings when it comes to the birth of their children, or losing children
This has got to be one of your best interviews Vlad. Smokey always gives great interviews but this one gets really in-depth.
Thanks Curtis
I don’t care what Miracles song you listen to, Claudette’s voice is always heard the loudest. And she was the only woman in the group!!!❤❤❤❤
For 82…He has a sharp mind! Smokey is definitely one of the 🐐’s for sure
So devastating,
but I’m glad they were able to have two kids
(Berry and Tamla) after that.
Their son Berry is named after
Motown founder
Berry Gordy,
and their daughter
Tamla is named after one of the many subsidiary labels of Motown.
That’s heavy. It takes a lot of courage to talk about a situation like that. Salute✊🏿
Claudette is an amazing woman who needs her flowers she always shows love on IG
Yes she does
What’s her Ig?
She is so beautiful too
I don’t care what Miracles song you listen to, you can hear her voice the loudest!
@@dividedsoulsent firstladyofmotown
This man and his woman have been thru many trials and tribulations. I have as well thank God for Jesus.
Shout out to Claudette Robinson. Besides being a singer/entertainer. i have watched interviews from her and she seems like a lovely, sweet lady.
She had the loudest voice in The Miracles
I am loving these Smokey interviews. Thanks Vlad
I'm so sorry about to hear that sad thing I ever hear in my life have 7 miscarriage my heart go out to smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson
Oh my God Smokey I'm so sorry I know this happened years ago but to hear you talk about it it's so heartbreaking and I'm so sorry. While he was telling the story I wanted to hug him so badly ❤️❤️❤️

God bless Smokey Robinson for being so Open in these interviews, & God Bless Vlad. These are So helpful and healing.❤🙏❤
To everyone who went through this my heart goes out to you you can have it. Real testimony from Smokey He's a goat and a real O.G.
All the pain and suffering they went through only for Smoke to cheat and have an outside child later on that eventually lead to divorce almost 30 yrs later! SAD
Very Sad MY HEART Goes Out To His Wife. She Is First Lady Of Motown
That woman is one of the strongest women on the face of the planet. 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Wow that was so sad, especially about the twin girls.
Dam I was not expecting that to be so detailed and sad sounding
He sounds like he’s about 52 rather than 82…sharp
Wow this is some heavy duty stuff! Smokes is such a wonderful man!
I thought about myself and my mother with her having me after 9 miscarriages 🤦🏾♂️I was her only child. But the story about the twin girls was DEEP yo 🥺
My mother had 9 before she had my husband who is her only child. I couldn't imagine. We were blessed to have 4 healthy pregnancies/kids.
Wow! She’s strong and the last were a set of twins i can’t even imagine
Sad story but glad he shared it.🖤
I swear Claudette is one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen in my life. Even til this very day, she is still arguably gorgeous. The loudest voice in The Miracles too!
I had a son that died from Trisomy 13. It all sucks when you can't do anything about it but let it go back to the Creator.
People should talk about miscarriage more often it happens a lot
Praises to Claudette for putting the needs of the guys first for them to make money over her own health! Just wow!
And too all those women that have suffered bless y'all for dealing with such a painful a d traumatic experience. Also got to give it up for Smokey for sharing that!
And she had the loudest voice oddly enough
God bless the Robinson family 🙏🕊️
Like like the fact of how Smokey seems to tell his experiences as though it were yesterday. Sure miss the days when he and the Motortown Revue would come to Philly, and do shows at the Uptown Theater, which was dynamite and within walking distance to our house.
Thats crazy.
And then the one baby that's finally born is from another woman, crushes the spirit sheesh.
Why would someone say that when someone is pregnant??
So sorry to hear about this. I believe you both will have the opportunity to meet those beautiful babies
My wife and I had three back to back to back....hopefully one day we will get our rainbow baby
Y’all will brother…it’s tough and my condolences to your unborn babies…keep faith and hope that it will happen for you both one day 🙏🏽
God bless them. That's hard to go through so many times
My God, so heartbreaking. To know you're having twins, and at 7 months, and to lose them. I can't even.
I dont like he asked him about this. He shouldn't have had to relive that and we definitely didn't need to know. Is nothing sacred anymore?
This guy is beautiful. Pause but man you gotta give it to him he’s taken very great care of his health.
God bless you and Claudette! Glad you didn’t quit. God is….
It's so sad that he and his wife had to go through this. And yet so many women just so casually go down to the abortion clinic and dispose of the children like it was nothing
Vlad, you did good 👍, interview with dignity and respect. This is some of your best work.
It hurts just as bad as anything else
Damn that's sad
My Mom had multiple miscarriages before I was born. Can't imagine the pain.
My grandmother has 7 miscarriages before she had my dad and my aunt. And when you look at my dad's birth certificate it States on the birth certificate 7 previous miscarriages, I'm not sure why but it does.
Now do one with Berry then do one together the do Diana then the three of them ( all separate interviews )
How in the world did the Miracles do shows without him?
Right!?
Wow. I know this was tough for Smokey.
Heartbreaking
Sorry to hear this smokey. 😢
My condolences Smoky
Damn that’s awful my wife miscarried at 6 months not a good experience
Smokey still looks great. One of my favorite artists without a doubt. Glad he's here to tell us his profound stories and share his legacy.
Wow, Claudette had 7 miscarriages!! shes strong. 💯
Sad I had one eternal peace to all them
I wonder if Smokey's adulterous conduct, particularly with Diana Ross was one of THE MAIN CAUSES of his wife, Claudette experiencing stress which resulted in some of those miscarriages? 🤔
no dont do that crap some women womb isnt strong enough to hold the babt that was on her
Money isn't everything they desperately wanted a family
Love love love Smokey ❤
Wow that's so sad 😞 😔
Now VLAD … why would YOU HAVE HEARD OF AN AMOUNT THAT HIGH !????
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
To say to a woman you can return a baby stroller if you miscarry is insensitive
Smokey, I love this man. Grew up with his music on records, went to cd's, went back to records more enjoyable
Smokey's body language, tho.... "Mmm hmm.....yeah...."
what an incredible life....
🙏🏽
Kidada Jones Love Tupac. 💯👊🏾
why you talking about that leave it there this is sad and bad to me just let that stay in house
My God 🙏🏾❤️
0:16 😔
Legend
I heard of 7 but not in that way
Some women just aren't built to carry babies to full term. This happens more than people know.
@@gabbycarter965 I was just saying this earlier!! Wow
How sad...
So sad 😞
Gabriel Union had 9 miscarriages if I'm not mistaken
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Omg
No human should have to go thur that i feel so sad that happened to you
Thought that was Haitian Jack
The twins weren't miscarriages.
Gabrielle Union had 9 Vlad. FYI
7 miscarriage omg and he cheats terrible
Smokey! 2nd!
Sad
