Smokey Robinson = Gifted. Barry Gordy = Genius

Barry Gordy, aside from being an incredible producer, is one GENIUS of a business man.
Smokey Robinson... an incredible singer, also a genius business man in his own rights.
These people are old. OLD, okay? Old as in NOT YOUNG. Rich, and still making big moves and more money. Their involvement with American Idol, one of the hottest reality shows if not the hottest EVER, is only going to bring them more cash.

Barry Gordy's marvelous creation (Motown) has built massive careers for Black singers throughout the years, and on it's own has made Black Soul Music (Jazz, R&B) the most popular genre group from Motown's beginning until now. One of those reaping the benefit... Smokey Robinson. From appearing music groups, movies, television sitcoms, and now reality TV, Smokey Robinson has got to be rolling around in some serious dough. Of course along the way, Barry got his cut too.

Barry Gordy... Smokey Robinson... a hell of a duo.
