Artist:Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Song:You've Really Got A Hold On Me
Album:The Ultimate Collection
William "Smokey" Robinson is one of the most important figures in R & B history. He was there when Motown started and not only performed some of Motown's biggest hits but wrote & produced plenty of songs for other Motown artists like The Temptations, Mary Wells & Marvin Gaye. 1962's You've Really Got A Hold On Me is very typical of Robinson's music and The Ultimate Collection is a worthwhile comp. Robinson left The Miracles in 1972 to become an executive with Motown and then produced a series of solo hits that established the "Quiet Storm" style of R & B. He's been very influential on today's R & B artists.
