Named America鈥檚 greatest living poet by Bob Dylan, we celebrate the 85th birthday of William 'Smokey' Robinson.

Smokey remembers being surrounded by music at home, then when he was a teenager, singing with friends for the first time in Detroit and meeting his idol Berry Gordy (when he was the songwriter for Jackie Wilson). Smokey mentions that he learned so much from Berry and was delighted to join him in his ground-breaking Motown adventures.

Smokey also discusses his work with other artists such as Mary Wells and The Temptations, the way he constructs his classic songs and his later solo success.
