I love the way Smokey came in like an OG chilling talking nodding and listening really cool like until his turn. He said "watch me young buck"and blew it away! John was incredible too. Great duo!
It's okay but I rather like to hear smokey robinson's version because it's pure silk and Smooth and jazzy. I have love the way smokey robinson sings it. It's one of a kind nobody can't sing like smokey!!
Please bring music really to the light with Smokey, John, Alicia , and blow up the music industry!!!! Thank will be a show to remember for life while there there is still life.
I have a different perspective on this song. Beautiful how John's and Smokey's voices blend into something wonderful and soulful! This kind of sound is missing in today's soul music!

Smokey Robinson sir you have an amazing voice I appreciate the history you have been apart of and I’m glad and honored to live 20 minutes away from studio A, I recently started to get into Motown and man there’s no words to what you and berry have done. You will always & forever be a legend in my eyes as well as berry. Much love coming from the motor city!
John That is a Nice collaboration with the Master OG SMOKY ROBINSON, both of you have a unique sound. It's like SMOKY is passing the Mantel to You; What an Honor!
Such a brilliant song lots of radio stations playing R&B branded themselves The Quiet Storm, and the term Quiet Storm became a genre. How can you not thrill hearing Smokey? He is a true gift of God. John Legend really sings it so beautifully under Randy Jackson's direction...for those who don't remember, Randy was one of the original judges on American Idol. And dig that bass, wow, almost James Jamerson.
I remember Smoky here in Phoenix Arizona for requests I had a seat close to him and asked him to sing this, his response was you know that song? I don't know if my guys know it? They all nodded yes! Beautiful memory he sang it for me! Love him for it! Thank you! (90s)
This is what heaven sounds like. My love for Smokey Robinson and his legacy will never die, and John Legend is just awesome. This makes my soul smile. Thank you Smokey for all of the wonderful music you've given us through the years.

John Legend performing with a legend--now's the time to do it. I think he did something with Tony Bennett too. This song will have a special spot in the heart of someone like me because of the era I grew up in and my solitary personality, also its implications for radio broadcast history.
Are you referring to the late-night radio format based on Urban Adult Contemporary (read: Grown Black Folks' music)? It was a sort of amalgam of R&B/Soul and Smooth Jazz. Funny thing, while I heard the format was inspired by the song, especially the song title; the programmers tended to shy away from including Smokey's creation on the playlist. Go figure! 😌
Soft and warm, a quiet storm Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn A power source of tender force Generatin', radiatin', turnin' me on, turnin' me on Oh, you short circuit all my nerves Promising electric pains You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings Quiet storm blowing Through my life, oh Quiet storm blowing Through my life, oh blow, baby Oh, when you sigh, we can ride A butterfly caught up in a hurricane, hurricane Lucky me, I'm glad I'm free Suddenly I'm caught up in your summer rain oh, shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in every drop Through all the seasons Let it pour and never stop Quiet storm blowing Through my life, through my life You're just like a quiet storm blowing Through my life, through my life, through my life through my life, through my life Blowin', blowin', blowin', blowin' Ah, through my life Oh Hail soft storms of loving me Let them play on my desires Kiss me softly Let your lightenin' light my fire Quiet storm blowing Through my life, through my life You're just like a quiet storm blowing (blowing, blowing) Through my life, through my life Quiet storm blowing Through my life Quiet storm blowing (Oh, yeah) Through my life Oh Shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in ever drop Through all the seasons Let it pour and never stop Quiet storm blowing Through my life, through my life You're just like a quiet storm (blowing) Warm and tender, through my life (oh through my life) Quiet storm, you're blowing Through my life, through my life, through my life Quiet storm blowing Through my life Blow, baby Blow, baby Blow, baby Blow, baby Oh yeah, quiet storm yeah, quiet storm Blow, baby Blow, baby Blow, baby

I remember when John sang this song on the BET tribute to Smokey. It was that performance that made me go out and buy Get Lifted. I had that performance recorded on VHS for awhile and watched it many times. I wish I still had it but this is a nice consolation.

@@michelledozier5333 aww thanks you so much Michelle, what’s your email address or number I would love to have a word with you on my private platform 😊 thanks
Use to hear this song every night when I was a kid how I went to sleep listening to the quietstorm it was the theme music fir the night mix. What a honor to be called by it by my peers.
Just the way John Legend sings 'Storm' at the end of the first chorus is outstanding.I;'ve never heard anyone with such a quality to their voice. Much respect for him now.
You have to know good music to love this beautifully sang, amazingly arranged rich song of 2 sweet RnB Soul track. This is delicious to my sensibilities. #StuffOfLegends
I loved this song in my younger years but when you're ass woman them lyrics hit different! I have been looking for this duet for EVER! Thank you so much for sharing.
I just said that Smokey was one of the greatest poets of modernity. John Legend quoted Bob Dylan as saying something along the same lines. Stop and think about,in the lyrics Smokey says,'A butterfly caught up in a hurricane. Thanks to Smokey I know understand why Butterflies chase their wings. Real Talk,BIG BOI MUSIC. Young boyz don't know bout that
This is wonderful the two of them the legend and someone who has the making of a legend someday I know John is honored to be singing with smokey this is Beautiful John is paying respect to the legend I like this everyone (SMILE)
I think every big City had a quiet storm that came on around 8 or 9 o clock and this was the theme song.. John was ok but nobody can sing it like smokey 👍🏾

Like the way they gave it a new sound i actually really enjoyed it. And as always Smokey Robinson is amazing so is John Legend hope they do songs together.
Sat down with an audio engineer today in his studio, immediately asked him "how the fuck do you know what all the knobs and dials do?" Studios like that scare me and I also feel like I'm going to break something. Just found who Smokey Robinson was today, I've been missing out

I agree with Bob Dylan on this... Mr.Smokey. Robinson is in truth one of the greatest poets! Thanks for posting. Viewing in 2024 with thanks....
There’s no one can sing like smokey , such a unique voice 🎶
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯

Thanks for sharing this beautiful Smokey Robinson song. With John Legend giving his take on this classic track is a bonus.
THIS IS A MAGICAL VERSION OF A TRUE QUALITY TUNE WRITTEN BY THE MASTER

Nothing short of fabulous. The best version of this wonderful song.
One of the best collaborations of Motown royalty and new generation soul. Done simply and beautifully ❤
Love Smokey. Love John Legend. They both are smooth as silk and have sparkling eyes.
Arguably one of the best singers from Motown if not the best!

Smokey Robinson is a member of The World's Largest Choirs and that's directed by the Lord himself.Smokey
Smokey's talent is timeless! He keeps getting better with time!
It doesn't get any better than this!! Two Legends. The great Smokey Robinson & John Legend. ❤
Jonh legend did his thing Even if he can't touch smokey modern day talent shine

Soft and warm, a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn
A power source of tender force
Generatin', radiatin', turnin' me on, turnin' me on
Oh, you short circuit all my nerves
Promising electric pains
You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life, oh
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life, oh blow, baby
Oh, when you sigh, we can ride
A butterfly caught up in a hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm glad I'm free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your summer rain
oh, shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm blowing
Through my life, through my life, through my life
through my life, through my life
Blowin', blowin', blowin', blowin'
Ah, through my life
Oh
Hail soft storms of loving me
Let them play on my desires
Kiss me softly
Let your lightenin' light my fire
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm blowing (blowing, blowing)
Through my life, through my life
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life
Quiet storm blowing (Oh, yeah)
Through my life
Oh
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in ever drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm (blowing)
Warm and tender, through my life (oh through my life)
Quiet storm, you're blowing
Through my life, through my life, through my life
Quiet storm blowing
Through my life
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Oh yeah, quiet storm
yeah, quiet storm
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Blow, baby
Classic

The song in itself is marvelous. Loved Smokies version also. Introduced to this song when he recorded it way back! Sounds great!
There is so much more than a voice with Smokey Robinson. It really is a walk back home with every performance. I will never tire walking back home.
Classic Smokie Robinson
John Legend with the boss himself... Yes.... great thanks for sharing
I miss you so much and I love you
I remember when John sang this song on the BET tribute to Smokey. It was that performance that made me go out and buy Get Lifted. I had that performance recorded on VHS for awhile and watched it many times. I wish I still had it but this is a nice consolation.
I've been looking for this for years!!!
Me too!!! Still looking for it but can not find it anywhere.
