William "Smokey" Robinson is known for his falsetto voice and has recorded more than 35 Top-40 hits. But with more than 4,000 songs to his credit, he's also one of pop's most influential songwriters. His writing and producing talent was critical to the Motown label's early success, and his songs can be heard on film and TV soundtracks. His latest release, "Time Flies When You're Having Fun," is original material recorded the old-fashioned way—with a band in the studio. Robinson is also a 2006 Kennedy Center honoree.
