( AP) — Sm okey Robinson was
cruising through the hits he wrote
for his M iracles, the T em ptations
and other M otow n stars — the
audience enthusiastically singing
along to "G oing to a G o-G o,” “O oo
Baby Baby" and "M y G irl" — and
then a rem arkable transform ation
took place during his first C arnegie
Hall concert in more than 30 years
The spot I ights di mmed to create a
more intimate mood. His band put
aside the funky electronics to be­
com e a mostly acoustic jazz com bo
with a string section. His dancers
changed from miniskirts intoevening
gowns. And Robinson shed his sil­
ver-sequined jacket for a double-
breasted suit and striped tie.
In that tradem ark velvety fal­
setto. only slightly m ellow ed by
age. the 66-year-old Robinson b e­
gan singing "Fly Me to the Moon
(In O ther W ords)," not with that
Sinatra sw agger but with a little
tenderness. Robinson caressed the
lyrics to Cole P orter's “ Night and
D ay," and slow ed the tem po to the
G ershw ins' “O ur Love Is Here to
S tay ,” before launching into a
snappy version o f “ I C a n 't G ive
You Anything But Love (Baby)."
These four classic love songs
are included on R obinson's new
C D "Tim eless Love," which m arks
a com eback for one o f A m erica's
g re a te st ro m a n tic sin g e rs and
songw riters. It's his first non-holi­
day. non-gospel album since 19 9 9 's
Singer Smokey Robinson's
new CD. “Timeless Love,"
marks a comeback for one of
America s greatest romantic
singers. (AP photo)
"Intim ate." and the first album o f
covers he has recorded in a show
business career dating back 50
years. The 13 tracks include only
one Robinson original. “ II .ove Y our
Face.”
But Robinson, w ho was elected
to the Rock & Roll Hall o f Fame in
1987. is no Sm okey-conic-lately to
the G reat A m erican Songbook
bandw agon already crow ded with
Rod Stew art. M ichael Bolton and
former Motown labclm ate G ladys
Knight.
H e 's been singing standards in
his live shows for the past 14 years,
and two songs on the new CD.
“Speak Low" and “I'v e Got You
U nder My Skin, he recorded with
the M iracles in 1962. R obinson's
love for this music goes back to his
Detroit childhood.
“As a singer I just sing what I
feel," said Robinson. “ I d o n 't c o n ­
sider m yself a great singer. I co n ­
sider m yself a person w ho feels
what I'm singing."
