Miss Spirituality you hit the nail on the head! Plus, what horrible,incentive questions! You could tell instantly that Smokey didn’t like her questions and then she just asked more stupid questions. I’m surprised Smokey didn’t interrupt her and put her in her place! Her questions like... “what did it feel like when...” His longest friendship in his life just ended a day ago and SHES trying to get typical idiot Hollywood sensationalized BS questions answered. Like you said, she didn’t even know that Aretha wasn’t a Motown singer. Then she stepped in it again like she didn’t hear his answer. STUPID STUPID STUPID interview and totally disrespectful.
Aretha touched so many of us and she will be always in our hearts. Her magnificent voice and music will resonate forever. RIP, Queen of Soul. And Thank you Smokey for sharing some great memories!
She was the queen of soul. Rest In Peace Aretha you were a huge inspiration to women and you will be missed but are forever in our hearts. 1942-2018 a true Queen
Good morning to you all and. Smokey . Robinson is one that would know. Aretha and we hate to hear about loosing one of our . Motown stars and . Aretha will for sure will be truly missed and I am so glad that my mom had the chance to meet . Aretha much more love to . The. Franklin family and . The. Robinson family as well and have a spectacular rest of the day.
bluedogsu thank you very much for your reply, and you are exactly right that's was my mistake my apology and thanks so much for the correction and have an awesome rest of the day.
I am 48 years old and listened to her all o lf my life and didn't know she had no connection with Motown. Is that all you got from this interview? I looked at the after video and what I took from it was the song that he heard her singing and playing on that piano was "never grow old" Nor did I know that they had known each other that long. Can we just celebrate her life and stop nit picking? geesh!
There will never be enough words or the music she wrote n sang to express the glance n respect she put in living a life. God gave us glory but only certain people like MLK could or Aretha could delivery it as message. Amen
Robin knows as much about Aretha as a fish knows about hiking...Diana Ross is the "Queen of Motown",Aretha was never with Motown...this is so insulting,black women don't even know the woman who helped black history!
“She will always be considered part of the Motown family”. Not by anyone who knows anything about the fantastic history of music of this time... sad when a reporter shows such ignorance at this sad time of loss.
Smoky looks great. His skin is beautiful. Glad to see people that knew Aretha talk about their life together.
professional interview. Nothing bad,rude or interrupting Smokey. Class act !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All News reporters take notice !!!! God Bless you Aretha.

Smonkey for loving Aretha Franklin always and begin very close life long.friend.
A lot of people didn't know that although Aretha was from Detroit she was never with Motown.
Can we please wrap Smokey and Stevie in bubble wrap?
Paper Mario I wish.

I LOVE YOU! MR. SMOKEY ROBINSON...💖🎤
GOD BLESS!
Rumor had it they had a relationship she loved him and sam cooke and otis williams but nobody could tell but Smokey
Robin did not do her research well ....Thank you Mr. Robinson for sharing.
I thought Smokey was genuine but Robin seemed to wing it with the questions.
Tracks of my tears...🎵🎵💜
So interesting to learn that Smokey was 8 and Aretha was 5 when they met! What a friendship!!

RIP QUEEN!!!! And, Facelift or not, Smokey looks good to be damn-near 80 years old!!!
Even I knew she had never been with Motown! Robin didn't do her homework and her questions and comments are so cardboard. SMH. Dull.
Shop Drop exactly
Now we all know. Sheesh

God bless you Smokey
Long live the Queen of Soul!! Aretha may be gone, but not forgotten!!🕊💖😱🤠
Smokey Robinsons was my teen growing up 🎶 music......❤😛
There will never be enough words or the music she wrote n sang to express the glance n respect she put in living a life. God gave us glory but only certain people like MLK could or Aretha could delivery it as message. Amen

Robin knows as much about Aretha as a fish knows about hiking...Diana Ross is the "Queen of Motown",Aretha was never with Motown...this is so insulting,black women don't even know the woman who helped black history!
He is rich and probably did what all those rich people do face lift! But finding a surgeon who knows what he is doing is the trick!
Robin, you didn't do your homework, girl. Diana Ross was the queen of Motown. Aretha was with Columbia and then Arista. Motown was beneath her talent.
Motown was beneath her, rev c.l. Franklin wanted her to sign to a white label $$
What about Atlantic Records You missed that one with the red labels!!!
I like when Smokey Robinson said Aretha Franklin could throw down in the Kitchen
YOU WILL BE VERY MISSED
Wow when we grow old we look different 😢
Hol M life is really sad !! We have to take of ourselves to keep young loooks
Don't worry idiot, if you keep living, you will get old one day as well.
No one escapes it in this world....
tom11zz884 you sound like already old hag lunatic n bitter. Enjoy it.
they were good friends, they worked together, she did his songs but Smokey couldn't get Aretha to sign with Motown.
Respect 🎉🎉🎉ty sista
RIP
“She will always be considered part of the Motown family”. Not by anyone who knows anything about the fantastic history of music of this time... sad when a reporter shows such ignorance at this sad time of loss.
Smokey looks a little sick himself
probably just old age...God Bless Ms Aretha & him...my mama only lived til 55...so they have a long BEAUTIFUL life
He's in his mid 70's. All things considered, he looks great.
nita collins +he was grieving
How Aretha would like to be remembered (In her own words!!!) - ruclips.net/video/BeyH4Vpuf9c/видео.html
RIH LADY FRANKLIN
Face lift eyebrows
