Smokey Robinson Tickets

When Berry Gordy started Tamla Records, among his first signees was a young group from Detroit called The Miracles. Front man and founder of the Miracles, William “Smokey” Robinson became the foundation of Tamla Records which was later reincorporated as Motown. The 1960 hit “Shop Around” was Motown’s first hit, and the first big hit of The Miracles’ career. The Miracles stacked up multiple hits over the years including “I Second That Emotion”, “Who’s Loving You” and “The Tracks of My Tears”.

After leaving The Miracles to focus on his work as Motown’s vice president, Smokey Robinson launched a solo career. The 1975 hit single “Baby That’s Backatcha” catapulted Smokey Robinson to success which continued with hits including “Cruisin’”, “Being With You” and “Ebony Eyes”, which featured Smokey Robinson and Rick James.

With the 1988 release of his autobiography Smokey, Smokey Robinson was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. In 1999 Smokey Robinson received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. After receiving an honorary Doctor of Music Degree from Howard University in 2006, Smokey Robinson was honored by the Kennedy Center that same year. Gospel, gumbo and acting are just a few more of Smokey Robinson’s successful pursuits.

On the heels of a successful career, Smokey Robinson continues to tour and perform in front of sold-out crowds. In summer and fall 2008, Smokey Robinson will be touring the United States, bringing classic love songs and jazz hits from his 2006 album Timeless Love.
