In 2021, Robinson had a starring role in the Lifetime movie Miracle In Motor City. Smokey Robinson’s solo album Christmas Everyday was released in 2017 and he was featured on anderson.paak’s “Make It Better” in 2019. Robinson’s artistic reboot created three hit singles and an album that sparked a romantic blueprint for the airwaves. The late DJ Melvin Lindsey is credited with launching the Quiet Storm radio show in the ’70s on Washington DC’s WHUR-FM station. The album also produced his only disco hit “Baby That’s Backatcha” and was one of Motown’s most relevant releases of 1975. A Quiet Storm revitalized Robinson’s reputation as an artist and a songwriter after leaving The Miracles in 1972. Its third track, A Quiet Storm, gave the album its title and inspired a radio station format which lives on today. The unassuming bass, snug conga and windy sound effects played well with the sublime vocalists and flute to recreate a feeling of calm in the midst of a cold winter. One, was the general manager at Howard University radio WHUR during the early 70s when she created the format 'the quiet storm.' She used Smokey Robinsons composition as the theme song. The title track became the namesake for a music format. Robinson’s falsetto had the quality of a soothing breeze within the song that started a late-night programming format of love songs on national radio. As many of his prior songs had shaped R&B and pop music, this album would have a similar effect. Smokey Robinson’s “Quiet Storm” was co-written with his sister Rose Ella Jones for his 1975 third solo album A Quiet Storm.
