By the Numbers
A Quiet Storm is the third solo studio album by Smokey Robinson, released in April 1975 on Tamla/Motown and produced by Smokey Robinson. The album is the record that gave its name to an entire genre of music, smooth, mellow, seductive R&B that played on late-night radio and became the soundtrack to millions of romantic evenings. The title track's languid, sophisticated arrangement and Robinson's breathy, intimate vocal delivery defined the quiet storm aesthetic that would dominate adult R&B radio through the late 1970s and 1980s. 'Baby That's Backatcha' and 'The Agony and the Ecstasy' further cemented the album's place in the R&B canon. A Quiet Storm is one of the most influential albums in the history of soul music, a record whose sonic blueprint shaped an entire subgenre.
