Smokey Robinson – HuffPost 10.25.10

Mike Ragogna: Hey Smokey, do you have any advice for new artists and new songwriters?

Smokey Robinson: Yeah man–love it. That’s my first advice to them because it’s hard. Everybody wants to do it, so the competition is fierce. So, you’ve got to be able to withstand the knockdowns that you’re going to receive and the doors slammed in your face. If you love it enough to withstand that, then go for it.
