One Dozen Roses Songwriting Credits by Smokey Robinson

One Dozen Roses is the fourteenth studio album by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, released in 1971 on Tamla Records. The album produced 'I Don't Blame You at All,' one of the group's final major hits with Smokey, a smooth and reflective mid-tempo soul number co-written by Robinson and Warren Moore that reached the Top 20 on the pop charts. The record finds Robinson in a more mature, introspective mode, the psychedelic flourishes of the late 60s give way to a polished, gentle sound that anticipates the quiet storm soul Robinson would define as a solo artist. With Robinson preparing to leave the group to focus on his role as a Motown executive, One Dozen Roses captures the Miracles in their final stretch as his vehicle, and the quality of his writing remained consistently high throughout. The album's title and tone reflect the romantic sincerity that had always been Robinson's songwriting signature.
