Smokey’s Family Robinson – Smokey’s Family Robinson

Smokey’s Family Robinson is a warm, soulful departure from Smokey Robinson’s classic Miracles sound, showcasing a more personal, family-centered vision. Released on Tamla, the album blends smooth soul, gentle funk, and laid-back grooves with introspective songwriting and rich arrangements.

Tracks like “When You Came,” “Get Out Of Town,” and “So In Love” highlight Smokey Robinson’s unmistakable voice and melodic sensibility, while the album’s relaxed, communal feel reflects the era’s shift toward more personal, artist-driven projects. The tropical, family-oriented cover art is a standout piece of mid-1970s Motown design.

This copy is factory sealed, with original shrink wrap intact — a well-preserved example of a lesser-seen sealed Tamla pressing.
