Smokey Robinson is a legendary performer so it’s only fitting that Robinson pass the torch, if you will. But who he’s passing the torch to may surprise you…
In an interview recently, Robinson said: “There are some wonderful talents out there and their music will live on. There’s a bunch of them, I can name Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, there’s a bunch of them. I know there’s some good music being made by great young artists.”
Robinson is however concerned about our fascination with the negative. He tells BangShowbiz: “This is not only true in music but it all of our lives – the news is always so negative, we are drawn towards the negative, so the negative music is out in the forefront of people’s minds”.
Alicia Keys is 100% iconic! She is in a league of her own…come out every three or four years and sell millions! She is a Living Legend!
Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake are not icon yet. but Mariah Carey is apparently icon.
Alicia Keys is well on her way.
I laugh so hard all the time thinking about when BeYAWNsay’s father said this cd era he wanted to move her from pop to icon status!!!!!!!! Can anyone imagine her bubblegum empty music being played 5 years from now???
I agree with what Smokie Robinson said. I love all three artists he named, JT, Mariah Carey and Alica Keyz.
