Smokey Robinson

Even tho' love was just a game to me
You are my lady, I can't set you free
Even tho' at times, I broke our sacred vow
I needed you then, I need you now
Even tho' your tears flow like falling rain
I'll kiss you, love you, wipe away your pain
Even tho', even tho', even tho'

Ooh, baby, baby, don't leave me to cry
It's still a great love affair
I've been the fool, I've been the fool
Even tho' we almost made it there

Ooh, baby, baby, don't leave me to cry
It's still a great love affair
I've been the fool, I've been the fool
Even tho' we almost made it there

Stay here with me, lady
Walk with me through sun and rain
I'll make you happy, my lady
Love will never be the same
Even tho', even tho', even tho'
Even tho', even tho', even tho'
Even tho', even tho', even tho'

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.
