Motown legend Smokey Robinson is soul personified. Throughout the years his angelic voice and endearing lyrics have caressed the ears and mended the hearts of many, from timeless classics such as "Cruisin'," "My Girl," "Tears of a Clown" "Just To See Her," and "Who's Loving You?" and "Ooh, Baby, Baby," just to name a few. After 50 years strong in the biz, Robinson returns with "Time Flies When You're Having Fun," his signature, melodic tome tackling the ups and downs of that thing called love. ESSENCE.com caught up with him to talk about his macking skills, working a 9-to-5 and kicking his drug addiction to the curb.
