The other Motown founder,

This review is from: I Second That Emotion (Audio CD)
Transfer quality (especially of the seven stereo selections) on the MOTOWN LEGENDS compilation subtitled "I Second That Emotion" is excellent. Two-pages of liner notes explain that William 'Smokey' Robinson was as integral to the label's success as the company's founder, Berry Gordy.
It was Robinson who encouraged songwriter Gordy to open his own recording studio and his group, the Miracles gave a struggling company their first million seller, "Shop Around." Royalties from this smash hit provided the cash necessary to improve studio equipment and hire other performing and/or writing talent. Smokey was again key here, for he discovered many who went on to super-stardom under the MOTOWN banner, and mentored these younger artists. Robinson wrote hits for Motown up-and-comers and while acts or composers would eventually move on to other labels, Smokey always remained loyal to Berry Gordy. Yes, for these things and more, Mr. R. can indeed be called "the other Motown founder." CD CONTENTS-- "Shop Around," "He Don't Care About Me," "After All" and "Money" are monaural tracks. Claudette Rogers Robinson (Smokey's then-Mrs.) sings lead on the middle two. Included is the Miracles' version of a Robinson-penned song the Temptations scaled the charts with-- "Get Ready." TOTAL PLAYING TIME: 35:17
