Madam XSmokey Robinson

The night is alive
With music and laughter and people everywhere
The discotheque's fool, yeah
I search a few face and hope you will be there

Ooh, baby, you're Madam X
Extremely, exciting
I see you out and you're in
Enchanting, inviting

I saw you again last night
Out with some guy you know
I wanted to hold you tight
And tell you how I love you so

Do you know I'm there
Do you feel my presence when I'm in the crowd
(Oh, yeah)
Do you hear my prayer
Do you hear me silently calling out loud

Ooh, to you, I'm Mr. X
X'd out now, excluded
Times when I try to be in
I invaded, intruded

Ooh, baby, yeah

To the beat of your drum
I only survive on thoughts
That soon our day will come

Ooh, baby, you're Madam X

Smokey Robinson

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
