2-19-1940.

2/20 Edited to

... Read moreSmokey Robinson, born on February 19, 1940, is a seminal figure in the development of Motown and soul music, whose influence extends deeply into the blues genre. Celebrating his birthday offers a moment to reflect on his contributions to music, including his work as a songwriter, producer, and lead singer of The Miracles. Having grown up with his songs playing in the background, I can personally attest to the timeless quality of his music that crosses generations. Tracks like "The Tracks of My Tears" and "Tears of a Clown" are not just songs but emotional experiences that resonate with many. The mention of McMinnville, TN adds an interesting regional context, as Tennessee has a rich history in American blues and soul music. Although Smokey Robinson himself hails from Detroit, the broader region's musical heritage highlights the interconnected nature of American music traditions. For blues enthusiasts or anyone interested in the roots of American music, acknowledging figures like Smokey Robinson on his birthday helps keep the legacy alive. It's also a great opportunity to explore stillgotthebluesmusic.com or similar platforms that provide daily doses of blues to enrich your musical journey. Overall, celebrating February 19th isn't just about marking a date; it’s about honoring the spirit and enduring influence of Smokey Robinson on the music world, especially in genres close to blues and soul lovers.

Vintage waves and brush out, using of course suavecita pomade, pomade smoothes down the frizz after brushing out the curl to get rid of the fluffiness, almost like a liquid wax to add shine and freeze the style in place! Much needed when doing vintage hairstyles. I have a link for it in my bio ❤️

An older Black woman in a headwrap and dress points and speaks to three young Black children on a wooden porch. The children look up at her with wide eyes. Overlay text reads: "50 pieces of southern Black slang straight outta the porches, and parlors!" A Lemon8 logo is in the corner.
