Smokey or Marvin?

As they said in the 70's movie COOLEY HIGH this song was the song for belly rubbing! (Slow dancing) If you want smooth try "What's Come Over Me" by BLUE MAGIC.

[@dorothyhickson3306]

Yes there are other smooth singers out there like Al Greene, Marvin Gaye, David Ruffin, and Teddy Pendergast!! Just to name a few!!!!

@@Dabridge4009 You’re welcome, I have a lot of old memories and as they come to my mind I’ll pass them on. There are a lot of old clips on KZbin, If I’m not mistaken They were on the Mike Douglas show and did a song called Poinciana and if you like a little jazz then check out a guy named Amad Jamal he plays a live instrumental version that was a hit with the black community back in the day. Smokey also has another old standard called Speak low and you may still be able to find them on Apple Music, I know it’s a lot just take your time and savor it all. Keep it up lil brother 👍🏽

Johnny Mathis is the early smooth singer who may have given Smokey the inspiration to sing smooth R&B.

[@JudyNauta]

Marvin Gay comes to mind first

[@supersonicsoulsupreme1414]

One and only one word SMOKEY!!!! Gotta be one of the most sweeeeet & soulful groups ever BrothaD Smokey's influence was a group out of Detroit ( lead singer)Nolan Strong & the Diablos.Their best known recordings are The wind and mind over matter Well there are some bad ass falsettos that came out of that era of music Harry ray of the moments Eddie Kendrick Temptations Johnny Carter Dells Ron Banks Dramatics Eugene Record Chi-lites I'm gonna stop here, this is just a small sampling of the many many groups with fantastic falsettos .Trust me Brotha there are soooo many more ✌️

Smooth voices, in my opinion: Lenny Welch - Since I Fell for You; Tommy Edwards- All in the Game; Jesse Belvin - Goodnight My Love and pretty much anything by Jerry Butler. Then there is the obvious choice of Johnny Mathis.

[@jrdlabs]

This, along with "Baby, I'm For Real" by the Originals, and "Stay in MY Corner" by the Dells, were the the most popular slow dance songs at my high school. Smokey's pretty smooth. Luther may be smoother. But, Smokey is a hell of a songwriter!

This is the most popular slow jams, but I prefer Here I Go Again.

Yes, you said a mouthful, that’s my favorite slow dance song from back in the day. My best friend preferred Much Better Off, Do you know that one? I like that one too but Here I go again is still my favorite, but both are jams.

I think Marvin Gaye is on Smokey's smooth level. But, most of the male singers during the 60's and 70's were smooth. That was just who they were; smooth brothers with 1000% swag.
