Smokey is the ultimate gentleman, a creative Genius and a true Brotha who is honorable and honest. I have loved Smokey since I was a kid going to the Fox Theater with my brother to see the Motown Revue.

[@Batman88878]

Smokey is so cool he makes regular cool seem lukewarm. Smoothest man ever & one of the GOATs.

[@jackjill8129]

How a lot of them old school playas be

[@vladtv]

[@nedkent5239]

What a great memory Smokey has!

[@jeromemarry7698]

Hjhhh i hhhhh I. Huh hhh hbu hhh n h N h hhh

[@sluggzmcgee6272]

Vlad's, not so much. I notice Smokey corrects him on multiple occasions during this interview.

[@BLACKMAN4815]

That agony and ecstasy is so good lyrics are so dope and he killed the vocals Smokey the one boy true legend out here

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Smokey is not a legend. Smokey is THE Legend.

[@funkpill]

Well said

[@realdamu6175]

The only one left!!!

[@TheMelodyGod]

Nah facts and has been my entire life

[@comeagyn]

The way Smokey say ok all thru this interview is so funny because cuz it's like okay, what's your point, what you getting at.... he answer ike somebody that's been interrogated a couple of times

[@KingNycJohnson]

Right 😂 he’s waiting for a question to be asked

[@jackjill8129]

He's been doing that the whole interview lol.

[@FriendofDorothy]

guarded body language too; he knows this interviewer is gonna go for the juicy stuff.

[@nodoggybag1207]

Right cuz vlad is shady n he thinks it's glossing over as good journalism but smokey isn't bothered at all. Kept it classy n never hated on the other artist

[@Woodsaras]

Interrogation has nothing to do with anything. Stop gloryfying your retrdd thug culture.

[@elisavetsandoval5362]

Agony & Extacy is my favorite song!!! Thank you Smokey.😍🔥 I would of loved to know the insperation behind that beautiful song.🔥

[@thaxtonwaters8561]

The opening notes of Songs in the Key...is getting into a beautiful emotional spaceship.🙏🏾🎶

[@bolder2009]

Stevie started producing all his own albums from Music of My Mind in 1972. Songs In The Key Of Life was four albums later. He was also producing other artists before Songs In The Key Of Life, including the late Minnie Riperton and his ex-wife, Syreeta.

[@cherylrleigh1912]

That is correct!!! Music of My Mind (1972) Talking Book (1972) Innervisions (1973) Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) Songs in the Key of Life (1976)

[@bolder2009]

@@cherylrleigh1912Yes

[@vision-gc4hy]

There's also the nearly forgotten "Where I'm Coming From" album which proceeded "Music of my Mind" that Stevie took the reigns on.

[@LadyDuchess]

Yeah, _What’s Going On_ really changed the game at Motown as far as letting artist produce whole albums of themselves and I think Stevie benefited the most from it. Stevie’s first producing credit on himself was the song “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” in 1970 but correct me if I’m wrong.

[@bolder2009]

@@vision-gc4hy I thought about that album but it seems the shackles really came off on Music Of My Mind.

[@NOV123]

Yes!!!! I was there. I remember it like yesterday too now that he’d mentioned it. The guy who had gotten killed was young too. Yea, it was sad 😢

[@cheesun124]

Investigator Vlad, tie-ing up loose ends and solving cold cases 🤣😂

[@LadyDuchess]

One of my favorite Smokey albums is 1977’s _Deep In My Soul._ “ I wore the B side out on that jammy between “If You Want My Love,” “You Cannot Laugh Alone” and especially “In My Corner.” Favorite Smokey album cover pic definitely goes to 1980’s _Warm Thoughts._ I usually don’t care for men in cowboy hats or fur coats but Smokey was sporting both and pulled it off quite nicely. 🤭

[@LadyDuchess]

@@CantTellYou Yes! I had to go hear it again and ended up listening to that song 3 times in a row. I love the transition between the first verse on into the chorus, that: “What’s so fuuuuun-nnneeee, you cannot laugh alone” part. Seamless. I live! 🙃

[@rhinopowerful]

Smokey is a cool cat man😂old school soul

[@GOATandBLACK52]

SMOKE is a legend in REAL time.

[@cherylrleigh1912]

Prior to Songs in the Key of Life Stevie Wonder *independently* produced the following: Music of My Mind (1972) Talking Book (1972) Innervisions (1973) Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) Songs in the Key of Life (1976)

[@LANGSTONHUGHESIII]

Peter Shue just spoke on this 😮

[@ognak1]

I thought Stevie first produced himself on the "Music in my Mind" album..... but Smokey is 80 years old...

[@casanovaredmond8982]

Actually he's 82 & will be 83 in a few weeks - 1940.🤔--- he's definitely getting up there in age.

[@Kitu74]

I'm from Harlem I remember that..Guy was a stick up kid ...in Harlem that doesn't go

[@itzjdub282]

I'm convinced. Smokey is a Vampire

[@Antoinedunaway]

"Based on a affair while married" like Smokey is really gonna tell u that Vlad lol

[@lindahines9380]

at least he did admit to his affair while married! with Diana that's a hell of a lot than most people do and you know it!

[@nodoggybag1207]

Vlad being shady but smokey is such a class act

[@char-les9196]

Quiet Storm is my favorite Smokey Song. The words Quiet Storm has been used so many times because of this song.

[@iriswood3744]

That was waay back in the early 70's

[@stunndajah]

Vlad: "Well then next you put out SMOKEY ROBINSONS FAMILY album..." Smokey: "Ok..." Vlad: *Sucks teeth*... didn't do huge numbers unfortunately." THAT SHIT WASN'T PERTINENT TO ANYTHING BEFORE OR AFTER THAT STATEMENT 🤣

[@jamesgretsch4894]

The shooter studied the Abraham Lincoln assassination when killing the guy at the Smokey show.

Vald always on some negative stuff

[@Lppolymath90]

I have to disagree with Mr. Robinson on one key fact: Stevie Wonder had been producing his own albums since "Where I'm Coming From" in 1971. Songs In The Key Of Life was just the first album he made without Malcom Cecil and his partner.

[@funkpill]

@Lppolymath90: I think it goes back to the 🎶Signed, Sealed, Delivered🎶 album. 🤔

[@Lppolymath90]

Vlad had NO business interviewing Smokey!

[@funkpill]

Vlad: "Have you been to prison Smoke?" Smokey: "No" Vlad: "Oh" well thanks for coming by. 😄

[@alberthenley2988]

I thought all those albums in the 70s by Stevie that Stevie produced them himself.

[@leiutley4083]

So sad

[@bencromwell707]

Somkey Iconic Greatness💯👍

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

I hope Vlad asked him about the Commodores and Lionel Ritchie and how it came about that Motown signed them/him and if he had any collaborations or interactions with them etc... On that note, Vlad Next Interview - Lionel Richie please!!!??!!!

[@kevinforeman4485]

My grandmother had old jet magazines from like the 1950's and as I'm going thru them the news section sounded like the same exact things going on today. Just remember no cameras back then so it was your word against the cops. That kid getting beat up & killed that's all over the news right now, you would have heard absolutely nothing.

[@xbabu142x]

Man, I'm twisted right now. I'm an actual Smokey Robinson fan, why can't Vlad ask at least some of the questions Fantano asks like his setup for different projects? This is clown world whatever happened to doing objective interviews damn. Vlad says he focuses on the significant things in their life and my guy was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1987. I get Vlad wants to tie convos together but this is not how Smokey Robinson should be interviewed by Vlad's own method even.
