BBC Radio 2 Documentary On Smokey Robinson

Did anybody else hear this?

You can listen again for the next seven days, here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ipla...e/b00pq8f0

It's all about Smokey's work as a record producer. They play some original multitracks and fade various tracks in and out. It's fascinating.

It's a great way to spend an hour.

I never knew that he wrote 'Being With You' for Kim Carnes! Kim Carnes of all people!

At work cloud9

This is very thorough,,,,and alot of trivia took me by surprise(Yep, the Kim Carnes being one of them lol ).

BTW, I'd suggest you to track down their documentary on Stevie Wonder(it aired in 1977),,,,,trust me, being a constant listener to their documentaries, its safe to say this one take the cake and its recipe love One of the best moments were when Stevie sang and played piano for the interviewer to explain the early stages of recording his hits.

It was sort of sad at the end though, when Smokey was talking about how great ProTools is! After an hour of amazing musicianship, I couldn't believe he was saying how great computers are. It made me think about his artificially un-lined and stretched face. neutral

I'll have to find it. It sounds amazing.
