By the Numbers
Timeless Love is a studio album by Smokey Robinson, released in 2006 on Hear Music. The album is a collection of American standards and classic love songs, a departure from Robinson's original songwriting, instead celebrating the Great American Songbook tradition that influenced him as a youth in Detroit. Tracks include beloved standards such as 'The Very Thought of You,' 'Misty,' 'I Only Have Eyes for You,' and 'Fly Me to the Moon,' performed in Robinson's distinctive smooth tenor over lush orchestral arrangements. The project placed Robinson in a tradition alongside Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and other interpreters who had made careers of honoring songwriters greater than themselves, notable given that Robinson himself is widely regarded as one of pop music's greatest songwriters. Timeless Love received warm reviews and demonstrated Robinson's vocal artistry in an entirely different context, confirming that his instrument was as expressive interpreting others' work as it was delivering his own compositions.
