I love hearing my music, I love hearing it by other people. I hope it will always be played.

Smokey RobinsonBefore you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now. My Mama told me, you better shop around.
Smokey RobinsonI always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Originally I was not writing songs for myself. ....And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... Even if I don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. When you write a song, it gives it that potential. When you write a song, a song has longevity. ... So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God. Songwriting is my gift from God.
