Special Honors
Smokey Robinson
Motown
singer-songwriter
Smokey Robinson will be hon-
ored as part of a star-studded mu-
sic special on Friday, Feb. 10 at 9
p.m. on PBS, Channel 10.
“Smokey Robinson: The Li-
brary of Congress Gershwin Prize
for Popular Song” is hosted by
Samuel L. Jackson, with a special
appearance by Motown found-
er Berry Gordy. Portland’s own,
Grammy winner Esperanza Spald-
ing will perform along with BeBe
Winans, Ledisi and CeeLo Green,
to name a few.
The Library of Congress named
Smokey Robinson the recipient
of this year’s Gershwin Prize for
Popular Song in November. The
award celebrates artists whose
works not only entertain but also
promote cultural understanding,
inform audiences and inspire new
generations.
“As a singer, songwriter, pro-
ducer and record executive,
Smokey Robinson is a musical
legend,” said Acting Librarian of
Congress David S. Mao. “His rich
melodies are works of art — en-
during, meaningful and power-
ful.”
