(All events and promotions may be changed by management at any time) by Teresa Miller Smokey Robinson to Perform Smokey Robinson brings the silky sounds of Motown to Chinook Winds Casino on Oct. 13 and 14. A founding Motown executive, songwriter and producer, Robinson began his career fronting the Miracles, as well as composing tunes for other Motown acts. While performing with the Miracles, his songwriting credits included R&B and rock standards like “Shop Around,” “Going To A Go-Go,” “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me,” “Tears Of A Clown,” “Ooh Baby Baby,” “I Second That Emotion,” and “More Love.” The singer is just as renowned for the songs he composed for other Motown artists, including classics like The Temptations’ “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” and ‘The Way You Do The Things You Do”; Mary Wells’ “You Beat Me To The Punch,” “My Guy,” and “Two Lovers”; Marvin Gaye's “Ain’t That Peculiar” and “I’ll Be Doggone”; and The Marvelettes’ “Don’t Mess With Bill.” His songs have been recorded by a diverse array of artists worldwide, including The Beatles, D’Angelo, Terence Trent D’Arby, Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5, Massive Attack, Dolly Parton, the Rolling Stones, and others. Robinson has 36 top-40 hits to his credit. He has received the Grammy “Living Legend” Award, and has been inducted into both the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. He also is a recipient of the Soul Train “Heritage Award” and MARAS “Lifetime Achievement Award.” With a voice as smooth as silk and as timeless as the passions he sings about, Robinson’s music has never lost its smoldering allure. He still sings with the same sensual passion that generations of Americans have come to love. As Robinson puts it, “My songs are written about love. It’s an everlasting subject. Love always has significance and it never goes out of style.” Concert time is 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday with ticket prices ranging from $35-$60, depending on seat location. Top Contributor to Diabetes Walk Lincoln City proved to be a bigger contributor than five states combined to Bob Scheldt’s diabetes research fund-raiser. Scheldt, of Kutztown, Pa., began his “Walk Down the West for Diabetes” in July in Anacortes, Wash. Previously, he walked more than 3,000 miles across the United States in 1999’s “Walk Across America for Diabetes.” Scheldt received $2,000 in the Lincoln City area, including $500 from Chinook Winds Casino.
