"Who's Lovin' You" has to be one of my all time favourite songs

Smokey Robinson, mediocre?...my arse!
His writing skills were poetic. A true genius.
Even Dylan once described Robinson as "America's greatest living poet."
All time top 10...everytime.

I lOVE Smokey. I have an anthology album with all my favorites. "I Like it Like That" was always a favorite. He was a great producer too. He was very fond of the latin sounds. Alot of great latin touches on Mary Wells' records Smokey produced. One of the greatest singers and songwriters in popular music. Anyone who says different, knows nothing about music.
