The best Tribute I have ever seen. Every one was good. Floetry was great, but, Gerald LeVert and Marsha Ambrosia's song made my soul warm, ummm- my Sweet Jesus of Mercy... my entire body shivered. Then Smokey came on the stage singing Cruising with that buttery smooth voice like he doesn't know what aging is...as if it doesn't apply to him and made me feel butterflies everywhere. This tribute was amazing! B.B. King listen to, Gerald LeVert and Marsha Ambrosia tribute and Smokey Crusin...you will get your thrill on steroids back!
Smokey is such a treasure and he makes himself relevant STILL to this day.. God Bless him and his wife.. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GERALD LEVERT!!! I MISS HIS VOICE AND ABILITY TO ENGAGE THE CROWD!!
I missed this show back then.... BUT thank GOD for TH-cam!!!! SMOKEY I LOVE YOU!!! MY mother raised me on the Detroit Motown Sound in the middle of the desert where I was born!!!! Thank you to the "WOLFMAN JACK" radio show. YEP!!! I AM dating myself😎 (listening 12/1/2021 Wednesday a.m.🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤) THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BLACK MUSIC😂😗
How could all those people sit in their seats while Brian McKnight & Boys to Men, Gerald Levett were singing? March 18, 2022.Oh so many wonderful memories with the music and songs.♥♥♥♥♥
I'm always confused when they say they're adding Smokey Robinson to anything that's musical Black culture, I always feel like Smokey is a given, a❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ True Legend, Beautiful, and Donny I don't know when I've enjoyed you more Great Job.❤❤❤❤
This was the best tribute performance I’ve ever seen, and smokey never seems to age. They were all great but Gerald Levert on the other hand, stole the show RIP Teddy Bear.
Jocelyn Carter: Great show! Smokey deserved it! I always loved his style of music and his voice sounds like a bird, beautiful. Seeing Gerald just brought a tear to my eyes. We were blessed to have him in our lives. Rest in peace Gerald.
I grew up with this music. It brings back such happy memories. You could go to the Apollo and see The Supremes, Little Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas all in one show.
Hello 👋 Kay Robbie are you feeling okay ❓ I guess you didn't know that you could see The Prince Of Motown 👑Marvin Gaye at The Apollo and those "Don't Mess With Bill " ladies The Marvelettes too September 19,2021
I know you're right, cause now this music is just so dirty, back in the day that's why so many babies were made, today I don't know how they make anything off this music 🎶 it should be a shortage of children with all this su__, dis, li__dis, an I don't have to go on, u get the message, I just miss all the old music 🎶🎶🎶
@@francescunningham7077 you are so right! I’m praying for the day that clean love ballades return to the music industry because a lot of what is being played now is dirty garbage and disrespectful to women in general! Smokey keep writing what needs to be heard and said about love, YOU ARE THE BEST THERE EVER WAS!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This made me realize, even more, how NE does it! Fell in Love all over again! Thank You so much New Edition. Johnny(Luther Vibes), Ralph ( My Baby Daddy! 😳😁) , Ricky(Slick) Mike( My Man!), Ronnie ( Cutie Pie) & Bad Boy Bobby! 😁❤!!! I ADORE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Gm thanks for sharing this early morning gifts of people that keep people falling in love love this song Linda j ☮️ that is a life time story about life .
There's been a lot of controversy about Motown..... they were the music we grooved on... partied with and grew up with..... thanks Motown for the 'memories'....
I was a young girl when I first heard Smokey, he has always been a lifelong favorite of mine. I pray that his legacy continue to inspire and uplift the world! I love him and his music still! May God continue to bless him!
Not only is he's a Awesome singer promoter song writer and so much more. He was a greater part in getting Motown established Smokey wrote songs for so many other singers.
A true legend! I saw Smokey at the Toronto Jazz festival. This man's catalogue is phenomenal and timeless. His performance was on point and he was approaching if not in his 70's at the time I was blessed to see him. God bless you Mr Smokey Robinson and all the true legends of yesterday's Rnb 🙏👍❤
I Love everyone of these sing ❣️ I grow up listening 🎧 to all of Smokey Robinson song he always have been a handsome man to me and a god set man to all the singers keep on singing God is good so many have gone on to rest but I still hold you deeply in my heart I think y'all for being Motown best God bless no time and all the singers 🙏💗🙋❣️
Absolutely wonderful, these days real soul songs existed, where have they all gone? They have been replaced by some soulless songs called R&M. Now a special thank you to Smokey, you were born with soul my black brother, all others these days are just imitations. you can never, never, never be replicated.
Gm thanks you tube for sharing this special story of what happened when you thought you had him in your hands they sound very good god bless them he sang this special story with pride Linda j. Aww ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Gm thanks you tube for sharing this special time with all the loveing people that feeling in love love this music and respect for true love Linda j ☮️☮️
Thanks you tube for sharing this special time of music with these special younger people to be blessed to sing Mr Smokey's work of love for sharing this special music Linda j ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
What a concert treat! So many from the (then) younger talents doing it oh so right...!👏👏 Smokey has traveled an amazing path..ups & downs like we all have..but keeping the path wide and open with all the music he has contributed to the benefit of other artists. Always a pleasure to see an artist receive an award while he can hold it and receive flowers while he can still smell their fragrance. Many of us in Listener land, probably fell in lust, infatuation ..and love..all our evolutionary stages accompanied by the smooth spell of Mr. William/Smokey Robinson's music. And..the "Ebony Eyes" duet performance did justice to a beautiful song. So pleased to find this tribute on youtube.⚘
This was so good !!! My people are so beautiful and talented! Floetry you two are absolute perfection! Your vocal skills are just 🔥!! Every performer/performance was amazing! Great show BET!!
I have always loved me some Smokey Robinson. Growing up in that era when there was so much appreciation for good music,because the wording had such beautiful meaning,and you learned to enjoy/respect all that was said. It was so easy to identify with the songs during that time,because it was expressing love,and eventful times. I am so happy that Smokey was honored, because he certainly earned every moment that he worked so hard over the years to reach his intended goals. Smokey is still just as handsome as he was as a young man. The older he gets the more handsome he becomes.Smokey told every woman in the audience/world that he was still in love with his wife,and that was beautiful. Every woman that can receive that kind of love from her husband is considered much blessed :)
Gerald, he’s his daddy’s son. I cannot imagine the depth of pain , grief and loss Eddie Le Vert must feel on a daily basis. Not fair. To lose two sons. RIP 🕊🕊Gerald and Sean …….
Praise God for old School Greatness that is still Great 👍 Today .Blessings to our Legendary Smokey and Family.And all the lovely Artists .God Bless BET . and everyone blessed us with this Sweet Throw Back.l was truly Blessed 😇..
Thank you BET, we need MORE of this. This made my evening. It was definitely a Blast from the past. Everyone that was performing , did a great job. Please BET... Do it Again. Ty Donnie ,.
Donnie Simpson, I've loved you since your DJ days. I'm from Tennessee, married and my ex husband 1974 moved there. You're the best. I enjoyed just listening to you. God Bless you.
Smokey has always had beautiful music. God Bless and Keep You fir the beautiful songs you sang and the ones you produce for others. Just a Wonderful Career.
It's Gerald and Marsha for me🥰😍😍...Beautiful Tribute Everyone understood the assignment💯💯😍
Smokey Robinson is one handsome man...He is tremendous Love Motown...

I was as glad to see _him_ as I was any of the entertainers!
(Btw-I have light eyes, too!)
The Foundation!!!!!!!! Never replaced.
God gave Smokey this gift, and he didn't sit on it he helped others.❤❤

With out that kind of music we would not be here it was good love making music
Smokey Robinson with those green eyes were always captivating.
I was blessed to hear Smokey perform at Harrah’s South Lake Tahoe. I was invited to go back stage where I received a unsolicited hug from Smokey.
Floetry absolutely killed it. One of the best I've seen from all of the tribute performances over the yrs

Thanks for the memories
This the Music that Inspire Love and Respect. Real memorizing lyrics that let your Passion Soar.
did yall realize that's the great saxophonist Kirk Whalum playing against the great Gerald Levert - CLASSIC PERFORMANCES, BOTH OF EM.
Now I do. Yes, this is a great performance. Thanks for pointing that out.
What a concert treat! So many from the (then) younger talents doing it oh so right...!👏👏

And..the "Ebony Eyes" duet performance did justice to a beautiful song.
So pleased to find this tribute on youtube.⚘
Wonderful journey Smoky Robinson you.have been incredible 👏🙌
What channel is that
I totally agree,because many times they wait until a person dies...and then the tributes come. I have never understood the rational of doing that. :)
