Synopsis by Dennis Proctor
Smokey Robinson performs live at Atlantic City's Bally's Grand Opera House. The Motown legend has had over 30 Top 40 hits and is considered one of the staples of urban contemporary music. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles had early success in the 1960s, and Robinson later had great success as a songwriter and solo performer. This video captures one of the romantic soul man's 1990 performances featuring a full orchestra behind him, as well as a pair of backup singers. Robinson is best known for his prolific songwriting, and his signature high tenor voice. In this performance, Robinson sings 17 of his hits, including "The Tears of a Clown," "Quiet Storm," "Everything You Touch," "Shop Around," "I Second That Emotion," and "Just a Mirage."
