    Smokey Robinson Still Singing Great at 78

    I saw him last night in Hollywood, FL, and can report that his falsetto is still in fine shape. He sang several numbers accompanied just on guitar or keyboards, including one in Spanish (he has a Spanish language EP scheduled for release), and was moving and beautiful all the way through. Repertoire was also bold - B-sides, album tracks, Spanish language (as above) and one Sinatra tribute.

    He had a serious coke habit for a number of years which historically has ravaged many great voices. Good to know he escaped permanent damage. A true great anyway, hopefully there's a statue up to him somewhere.

      Good stuff. I saw Earth, Wind & Fire fairly recently and Phil was also still hitting those big notes.

        I saw them with Chicago in Fort Lauderdale and Phil was even the best vocalist on the Chicago numbers on which he guested.
