Smokey Robinson duets album on the way

Smokey & Friends, the new duets album from legendary Motown icon and Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson on Verve Records, has been moved up to Aug. 19. See track listing below.

On the Randy Jackson-produced set, Robinson is joined by James Taylor, Sir Elton John, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, John Mayer, CeeLo and others.

Robinson and John turn "The Tracks of My Tears" into an organ-drenched call and response; while Legend's graceful piano playing adds a new elegance to "Quiet Storm." On "My Girl," Miguel, Aloe Blacc, and 'N Sync's JC Chasez match The Temptations' harmonies, as Mayer recreates the song's instantly recognizable opening guitar riffs.
