A year after the split in 1971, Smokey Robinson launched his solo career, enjoying a hit single with 'Sweet Harmony', an affectionate tribute to his former group, and issuing the excellent 'Smokey'.

The album included the song 'Just My Soul Responding', a piece of social comment about the USA's treatment of blacks and American Indians.

Smokey maintained a regular release schedule through the mid-70's, with one new album arriving every year.
