Summary: All You need to know About Smokey Robinson the Legend
Review: From page 1 until the end of this book my eyes kept reading and reading and thanking God that this man is still alive today to give us his talent and energy and love. Smokey has come a long way from the 1st page of his biography. This is one you cannot put down. Believe ME.

Review: Just returned from seeing Smokey in concert tonight. He is an awesome performer you should see if you get the chance! This book lets you see inside this man's mind as his music lets you see inside his heart.

Summary: Love, Drugs and Redemption
Review: Smokey has been such a major influence in R&B, and is such a prolific songwriter, that I don't see how you can not find his life interesting. I love his music, and liked the book. It's as though he recovered from drug addiction and was washing himself clean by spilling his guts. It covers the influence of his family upbringing in Detroit; his rise to fame; the MOTOWN years; love and loss. You feel close to this man after you read his story. He's not perfect but he has a whole lot of soul.

This book only takes you up to 1987...and it's 2005. Since he released an inspirational gospel lp- Food for the Spirit- in 2004 one can only assume the faith healing had a major impact. The writing is fast and breezy, an easy read. I'd buy it if I were you.

Summary: Pat's Opinion
Review: Smokey Robinson is not afraid to honestly and frankly outline the events that have transpired in his life. One has to appreciate the clarity and detail he uses in expressing the downfall of his marriage and his drift into drug use. Clearly a movie should be in the making.
