Smokey Robinson will be feted with the AMEE Award in Sound Recordings during the 2009 AFTRA Media and Entertainment Excellence Awards gala on March 9 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.
The AMEES recognize members of AFTRA who have made a significant contribution to American culture.
Once pronounced by Bob Dylan as America's "greatest living poet," Smokey's career spans over five decades. He co-founded the Motown Record dynasty with Berry Gordy and created R&B legends The Miracles, who�s 1960 single "Shop Around" was Motown's first number one hit on the R&B singles chart.
Smokey and The Miracles scored many hits over the years, including "Who's Loving You." Writing for Mary Wells, Smokey penned the hit single "My Guy" (1964), and served as The Temptations' primary songwriter and producer from 1963 to 1966, writing such hits as "The Way You Do the Things You Do" and "My Girl." Smokey has been inducted into both the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
