Debut solo album from Smokey Robinson after his departure from The Miracles, ‘Smokey’ was issued in 1973 and includes the sweet, socio-political slowie ‘Just My Soul Responding’, the lush ‘A Silent Partner In A Three Way Love Affair’, the lilting ‘Sweet Harmony’ is a blissful mellow ballad while ‘Wanna Know My Mind’ picks up the pace on a percussive up to mid tempo dancer. ‘The Family Song’ is a great, punchy slab of crossover while the album ends with the beautiful ‘Baby Come Closer’ with a great strings and organ accompaniment.
