I think in a interview once, he stated that he allowed his fellow Miracles to write with him, because they were his brothers and he wanted them to have royalties as well, so they wouldn't have to depend on performing all of their lives....

Can't quite remember tho'

Could've been on some documentary

I can see that being the case, since the Miracles actually disbanded initially in 1983 and they didn't seem in a state where they needed money anyway. Billy Griffin probably still gets a good paycheck from "Love Machine" for example.

Cha Ching!!!!

smokey but prince has written some amazing lyrics no doubt.

Smokey. . . by a country mile.

I don't really want to vote. I just came to thank the thread author for this original thread that has insighted a very good conversation.

That is all...

Prince by far because I can relate to slow jams like "Do Me, Baby", "International Lover", "Insatiable", and "Scandalous" more than anything Smokey has done.

Smokey has been more about love which I can't relate to at all because I have never slept with anyone I love. With Prince, it's much more about sex which I can totally relate to because that's about all a man is good for any way.

agreed. I actually was unaware of Smokey's songwriting skills. This thread has me seeking out a little education on the subject.
