The genius of
William "Smokey" Robinson
is immeasurable. As many of his prior songs had shaped R&B and pop music, this album would have a similar effect. The title track became the namesake for a music format. The album itself had three singles hit the charts. Arranged in an intermittent rhythm,
"Baby That's Backatcha"
ran up the
Billboard
R&B charts to number one inside 16 weeks. It was
Robinson
's first number one single since leaving
the Miracles
. The lyric of the ballad
"The Agony and the Ecstasy"
hit the Top Ten at number seven, and it was followed by the masterpiece
"A Quiet Storm."
Although it only managed to seal the Top 25, it has since made a greater impact on the music charts and music industry. Briefly, radio mogul
Cathy Hughes
, owner of
Radio 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 Robinson
's composition as the theme song. Before long, it caught on around the country and evolved into a new market. This album also features the
"Wedding Song"
which was written for
Hazel
and
Jermaine Jackson
's wedding and the
"Happy"
theme from the movie
Lady Sings the Blues
