Smokey Receives the 2011 Ella Award

Description:He has one of the most iconic voices in music and his pen game…is RIDICULOUS! So, it makes perfect sense that the legendary Smokey Robinson was honored with an Ella Award, last night in Beverly Hills. The award, named after Ella Fitzgerald, a woman that is near to his heart. At last nights function, Smokey & Aretha Franklin (was who was honored with the Legend Award), were treated with tributes by some serious music heavyweights including Clive Davis, Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder and tons more!
