Smokey Robinson Shares Wisdom In Lifetime Movie
In an exclusive clip by People, from the Lifetime Movie, Miracle In Motor City, Eddie asks Smokey Robinson how he “juggles” his personal and professional life. Smokey begins to answer with his kernels of wisdom.
“By remembering the ‘why.'” He then elaborated.
“Before I was blessed enough to get into the music business, it was my impossible dream. My favorite prayer. And I guess God said, ‘Okay, I’m gonna let you have this, see what you do with it, see how you treat people.'”
The legendary singer admits that he has a lot of things going for him. “I’ve got a great wife and a wonderful family. And I love my job. I love my wife and my family. And I love the fact that they support me in loving my job. When you’ve got it like that, there’s no juggling.”
This kernel is what will lead viewers through the holiday season. “Love leads the way. All you’ve gotta do is follow.”
Smokey Says Lifetime Movie Is ‘For The People Of Detroit’
“But my agent sent it to me and said, ‘Hey man, this is a great script. It’s about a Black family in Detroit at Christmas time and you’re in it — but you have to be you. Before you say no, I want you to read it.’ I read it and I thought it was warm, wonderful and sweet — and I hope it brings some positive feelings for the people of Detroit.”
