ABC - When Smokey Sings
Youtube BTV5FvNCbhk

Fun fact: this song peaked at #5 on the US charts.  Smokey's "One Heartbeat" peaked at #10 the same week.  ABC's tribute to a legend got more attention than the legend himself did.  There's a lesson in there for you.

Young people tend to be the ones that drive music sales?

Seriously though, it's not a bad job of plastic surgery. The doctor who did this job knew what he was doing.

Behold, Smokey in his prime.  I'm not even sure why they bother with backup singers.

I'm not plastic surgery, you're plastic surgery.

I thought it was one of the guys from Milli Vanilli.

I have much respect for Mr. Robinson, his career and what he's done for music. With that said, he never had much of a voice and I don't think it's gotten any better in the last 30 years.

Personally I like his voice.
And there's no denying he's one hell of a songwriter.

The group's leader has been performing music since he was a teenager. Why should he stop?

If aging musicians have taught us anything, it's that if you keep the pounds off, you can do as many drugs as you like.

Otis Williams is the only original Temptation left.  And I think he has retired from touring.

I'm not implying they should quit on the basis of age.  I'm just stunned that any act that got its start during the Eisenhower era is still kicking out new material.
