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. (Please see related story on page 17.)
