It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time, the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay [Incomprehensible]

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time, the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here
Our love is here, our love is here to stay

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.
