“Point It Out” #37 1/10/1970

Smokey Robinson was once asked about his songwriting method. He said, “The same notes and chords and basically the same words, except for a few slang words, have been used since the days of Beethoven and Bach. So I just try to say it in a different way and make the best of what I have to work with.” Simple, yet he’s made it work for all these years.
