Smokey Robinson: “I usually wrote about love, because love is everlasting, love is always. [I wrote one political] song at the beginning of the Vietnam war. Now it’s passe, it’s over. And black people were rioting all over America then. That’s no longer news, and probably no one will ever record that again . At the same time, people were falling in love, and they still are. In the year 2987 - if it gets to that - people will still be falling in love."
