To most of us Connoisseurs of Soul Music from the 70's this album is like what Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" album is to the Soul Music Purists! It's just good all the way through!

...just like he did at the beginning of Motown. Now here he his, just like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, going beyond the pop success for a new sound, new direction, new motivations. Marvin & Stevie went their way; and "Quiet Storm" was Smokey's way.
His way was smoother, more gentler, never one to ruffle feathers like Marvin or Stevie did with their songs. That's why Smokey is the genius he is; he didn't try to do anyone else's style but his own.
The album is quintessential ... Read More
