Strolling down the lane at midnight
Old fashioned love
Steal a little kiss in the moonlight
Old fashioned love

You’re the love of my life
The girl of my dreams
I count on you
You can count on me

We got an old fashioned love
It’s so hard to find
This one of a kind
Old fashioned love

Gotta be true to each other
Old fashioned love
Never hurt one another
Old fashioned love

Just like in the movies
But we’re not pretending
Always and forever
Our love’s one happy ending

We got an old fashioned love
It’s so hard to find
This one of a kind
Old fashioned love

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.
