 Smokey
Submitted on: 2009-03-03 |

| Smokey Robinson takes his smooth style to Jazz and what a great job he does. Music is mellow and the songs are classic. Very enjoyable cd to just kick back and relax too. |

 Some strengths and weaknesses...
Submitted on: 2007-11-29 |

| Smokey still has the pipes, and this is an enjoyable listen. The arrangements are first-rate, a cut above some other attempts at this material. But his tempos are so slow, he reduces each song to a funereal pace. Smokey can still do it; too bad he can't do it faster! |

Not what I expected

Smokey has one of the best voices around but he adds a lot of different things to these songs. If they were song like they should have been it would be a great CD. Unfortunately when Smokey tries to add his style for me the songs lose listening appeal.
Smokey is still great but not the way he sung these songs. |

 Sexy and Smooth

| Sexy and sweet. Smokey's rendition of these beautiful songs are definitely worth having in your collection. I've listened to "More than you Know" over and over...MAN...can he ever sing! He makes you feel the music deep down into your soul. This is PERSONAL and INTIMATE. And I thought I'd heard these songs before. HA! Am so glad I bought the entire CD instead of just downloading a few songs. And you will be happy you did too! |

Sets it's own standard...

This does not play well as background music. You simply want to stop and listen to every note.
I have other versions of these classics, including recordings by Sinatra and Torme as well as others, and I appreciate their ability to evoke specific feelings of time and place with their versions of these durable standards. Smokey's own interpretations are personal, intimate and romantic. You can tell that he wants to sing these songs, that they have somehow touched him deeply and he wants to tell their stories in his own voice. His versions have the ability to fire your imagination with romantic notions.
I was initially reluctant to purchase this recording based on other reviews, but find that now that I have, I reach for it again and again.
Smokey's version of the classics really doesn't need comparison to anyone else's interpretations of these timeless jewels, his is unique and beautiful in its own right. |
