Smokey Robinson's First CD in Three Years is Well-Timed but Misses the Marknew

Blonde Devotion: Motown Diva Chris Clark Rises from Obscuritynew
From 1965 to 1967, Motown released a few criminally ignored singles that found a home on Clark's 1967 long-player Soul Sounds. Given the scattered sessionography, Soul Sounds surprisingly holds up better than any other studio album by the more recognizable greats of Motown.
