And when you hear the term " Class Act " it's referring to Smokey. Happy birthday Smoke.

On Motowns's 40th, Bobby Rogers was the Sky Television chaperone. He looked after the BSKYB crew who flew in to Detroit, from our Washington office. They asked me to research him and as I am certainly not so familiar with names like you guys, found out the details they required and in addition found he co-wrote 'The way you do the things you Do', one of my favourite Temps numbers from the 60's. I tried to get them to send me out to meet him and do a Motown piece or at least make an input. Sadly, it never happened, but they sent me the CD 'The ultimate rarities collection', which they were given when they arrived at the studio.

Best wishes Smokey!
