Solo Albums Volume 2: A Quiet Storm / Smokeys Family Robinson
“People considered me to be a quiet singer,” Smokey Robinson explains, “so I said to myself, ‘I’d like to go back and take the business by storm.’”
Smokey Robinson didn’t want to be a solo star, but after the success of his first two albums away from the Miracles, solo success came calling. Those albums, Smokey and Pure Smokey, available on a single disc from Hip-oSelect. com, laid the groundwork for his next release: A Quiet Storm not only had hit singles, including the No. 1 “Baby That’s Backatcha,” it became a phenomenon; a standard-bearer of smooth, sultry soul and the inspiration for a radio format of similar-sounding music. His follow-up was Smokey’s Family Robinson, an underrated near-classic album that featured both stunning ballads and a couple of funk bombs, including the top 10 single “Open.”
Both albums are now on a single CD in Volume 2 of the Smokey Robinson Solo Albums Series, available at www. hip-oselect. com. A Quiet Storm, released in 1975, is now digitally remastered for the first time in more than 20 years, while Smokey’s Family Robinson, originally issued a year later, is now on CD for the first time. This Volume 2 includes a rare bonus track: “An Old-Fashioned Man,” a soundtrack single released later in ’76 that is also on CD for the first time.
Like Volume 1, these classics are housed in a lovingly rendered package with a 24-page booklet featuring restored artwork and detailed annotations, as well as liner notes by U. K. author Peter Doggett, who interviewed Smokey specifically for this series.
