By the Numbers
Deep in My Soul is the sixth solo studio album by Smokey Robinson, released in 1977 on Tamla Records. The album is anchored by 'Vitamin U,' a sensuous, slow-building ballad that became a significant R&B hit and exemplified the Quiet Storm radio format Robinson was helping to popularize, intimate, smooth soul designed for late-night listening rather than dancefloor play. Robinson wrote every track on the album himself, maintaining the total authorship model he had carried from the Miracles era into his solo catalog. The album arrived at a moment when disco was dominating mainstream pop, and Robinson's refusal to follow the trend confirmed his commitment to organic, songwriter-driven soul. Deep in My Soul is a mid-career highlight from an artist who had been writing at a consistently high level for over two decades by its release.
