Day 19: Smokey Robinson

Today is "Mr. Motown," Smokey Robinson's 68th (!) birthday. I originally was just going to put together a Soul and R&B list in his honor. But, instead, I think I'm going to put together a shorter list of some great songs that he wrote. A lot of his work was done with The Temptations and his group, The Miracles, but there are some classics he wrote for other groups as well. Enjoy this list from the man who Bob Dylan called, "America's Greatest Living Poet."
