SATURDAY, MARCH 5

Richmond, BC – Legendary singer- Smokey Robinson rocketed to stardom with in the late 50’s scoring such hits as “,” “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” ”The Tracks of My Tears” and “I Second That Emotion.” After “” became a #1 hit in 1972, Robinson left the group. His solo were on the whole more thoughtful and mellow than his work with The Miracles as his records of the late 80’s continued to gain popularity and the approval of critics. His 1987 , was termed “another winning package of sharp, sophisticated soul” by a reviewer from Rolling Stone. Songs such as “Cruisin’,” “” – a Grammy Award winner – and “Being With You” became both rhythm & blues and pop hits.

Robinson’s most recent album, Now and Then was released just last week and is currently only available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores across the United States. Six of the songs are live versions of Robinson’s best-loved classics recorded this year during various live performances. The other six tracks are from his 2009 album, Time Flies When You’re Having Fun. Coupled with the success he enjoyed with The Miracles and as a major Motown songwriter, Robinson’s solo achievements in the music industry led to his 1986 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 1989, he was named a Grammy Living Legend. He was then presented with the Kennedy Center Honors Award in 2006. Robinson continues to perform to sold-out audiences throughout North America and will be appearing for one night only at the River Rock Casino Resort in March, 2011.
