Yes It's You Lady is the eleventh solo studio album by Smokey Robinson, released in 1982 on Tamla Records. The album produced 'Tell Me Tomorrow,' a polished contemporary R&B single that reached #1 on the R&B charts and marked Robinson's commercial comeback after several years of modest chart performance. The production on Yes It's You Lady reflects early-80s Motown's shift toward a more polished, synthesizer-aided sound, while Robinson's voice and romantic lyrical approach remained the through-line connecting his solo output to the Miracles era. Robinson co-wrote most of the album's material, continuing the self-authored model that defined his entire career. The album demonstrated Robinson's ability to adapt his songwriting instincts to contemporary production trends without sacrificing the melodic and lyrical craft that had always set him apart.
