Robinson Likes Variety July
20, 2003 - According to Smokey Robinson an easy way to stay young is to keep your
options open and listen to many brands of music. Robinson says he has his "Ears
all over the place" listening to everyone from Muddy Waters or Montovani
or Maxwell. The Motown legend also has an appreciation for new artist like Joe,
Alicia Keys and Marc Anthony but the actual term "new artist makes him laugh.
He says there are no new artists because most of them have been struggling for
years. Smokey
Robinson Sticks to It May
20, 2003 - The music business has changed a lot since his early days at Motown
but Smokey Robinson says the secret to his longevity is just sticking to his own
style. Robinson says in the old days, if a song was a hit, all the stations, regardless
of format, would play that song. Now he says stations play only one type of music.
So what's a musician to do? Robinson's advice is to come out as strong as you
can in your category and hope for the best. Robinson's last album was "Our
Very Best Christmas" in 1999.
