Created a new genre and was ahead of it's time, as much as that is an overused cliché this guy really pushed into the foray of ambient music and helped pioneer Quiet Storm as a sound/aesthetic.

You rarely hear his name in these circles at all

Was just listening to this last night, great album

Ktt don’t know about this

That quiet storm r&b owes everything to this one right here

been meaning to listen to this, from this and a @Teal_ post about Smokey solo im gonna check some of his solo albums out this week

Lessssgoooo

someone saw the vox video last night

idk about underrated in general but i don't see a lot of discussion on it around on the internet within the spaces i occupy so yea. really good album tho was just talking about this today with my little brother lol

Tbh, this album is good but overrated af. I actually prefer Smokey (his debut album) by a landslide. In terms, of consistency and cohesion, it's his best. But this is a classic as well. I'd also recommend Flying High Together, Love Breeze, and Warm Thoughts.

Good taste, great album

Yup. Smokey had one of the GOAT runs in the 70's.

yeah i was gonna start with that debut i think

Smokey Robinson definitely does not get talked about enough around here.

peeping shall commence
