Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson sang “You’re The One For Me” on the American Idol Motown results show on Thursday, March 26th and we’ve got the YouTube Video! Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone debuted “You’re The One For Me” from Smokey’s album entitled, “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun”, tentatively scheduled for release in May 2009.

Watching 69-year-old Smokey Robinson sing a love song to soon-to-be 22-year-old Joss Stone (born Jocelyn Eve Stoker on April 11, 1987) seemed a bit strange to some Idol viewers, but I thought the performance was beautiful. Maybe some viewers didn’t like the performance because they lack chemistry, but Smokey’s voice is still amazingly smooth and beautiful to listen to, with or without Joss Stone or other female singers Smokey has performed with.

A bit about Smokey Robinson’s biography: Smokey Robinson, born William “Smokey” Robinson, Jr. on February 19, 1940, is one of the primary key figures associated with Motown Records, second only to the company’s founder, Berry Gordy. Smokey Robinson earned the title “King of Motown” due to his countless hit songs and contribution to the Motown record label. You can read more about Smokey Robinson and his sparkling green eyes on the Smokey Robinson biography profile page on Wiki.

English soul singer Joss Stone came to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, “The Soul Sessions“. Joss Stone songs and albums have sold over ten million copies worldwide, winning one Grammy Award and two BRIT Awards. In 2005, Stone and Melissa Ethridge did an incredible tribute to Janis Joplin during the 2005 Grammy Awards singing “Piece of My Heart” that brought the house down, and was considered to be one the highlights of the Awards show that year.
