    Most artists can not touch a “Smokey” song but when Luther gets a hold of ANY song, he’s not giving it back and by far; he doesn’t even have to! ♥️

    Smokey just gave the best tribute to the ancestors I have ever heard. We must always remember those words. Our ancestors gave their all - blood, sweat, tears, and ultimately their lives so that we could go on. Please don't ever forget that. We owe them everything so please don't take whatever gains we have for granted. Don't ever give up the fight.

    Luther Van dross is simply one of the all time great singers. Smokey Robinson is the genius who wrote much of the soundtrack of my life. Superstars do not come any bigger than Diana Ross. She was a great host & this is the show on which she sang "If We Hold On Together" to Steven Spielberg to introduce his award, and he could not hide his delight. Great legends on a great evening!

    I was on a flight from Pittsburgh to LaGuardia NY in November of 2018. I had noticed a gentleman standing by the check in desk and after several times staring and thinking this man has very unusual eyes where have I seen them before. Well we boarded and I had the aisle seat second row on the right. Smokey had sat in the wrong seat so he to move he the window seat next to me. Before he sat down he said to me excuse me I think your in the wrong seat
    I said I don't think so what seat number do you have so he ended up by the window. Now again I am staring at this gentleman's eyes and thinking where have I seen this man before.,he was modestly dressed was wearing a tight fitting hat. Finally my curiosity got the best of me and I said to him where have I seen you before. He replied who do you think I am, I replied a little hesitantly Smokey Robinson to which he replied jokingly aw go on. He then said yes I am Smokey Robinson and your name is, to which I replied James. We had brief but very cordial conversation I not wanting to annoy him or impose on his space. Brief as it was it was long enough that there is nothing phony about William Smokey Robinson he is a humble and kind and as I told him leaving the plane a National treasure.

    I feel so incredibly lucky and privileged to have gotten to know Diana in the early 80’s and spend a considerable amount of time with her. I was also honoured to be at the Motown At The Apollo tv special as an artist, with an access all areas pass, so got to meet all of the stars who made Motown the legendary company it was!! As if that wasn’t enough, Luther actually paid me a visit to my hotel one night, unexpectedly, and waited while I got ready so that we could go out for dinner!! Oh man, the stories I have even blow me away!!! Like I said, incredibly blessed!! 🥰🌟💖
