Smokey Robinson - Touch The Sky (1983/2016) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz]

"Touch the Sky" is a 1983 album by American singer Smokey Robinson. It was produced and arranged by Robinson with Reginald "Sonny" Burke, and recorded and mixed at Golden Sound Studios in Hollywood, California. The album was released on the Motown sub-label Tamla. Fellow Miracles members Claudette Robinson, then Smokey's wife, joins for background vocals on the title track, Marv Tarplin is featured on rhythm guitar and songwriting. Also featured are Robinson regulars Fred Smith and Michael Jacobsen, and Sonny Burke. Called one of his "underrated" releases by Rolling Stone, the album contains the top 10 R&B hit "I've Made Love To You A Thousand Times" and the title track, also issued as a single. The album peaked at #50 on Billboard pop charts, and at #8 on R&B charts.

Smokey Robinson took back the production reins from George Tobin and reinstated his producing/arranging partnership with Sonny Burke for Touch The Sky. The two took a more rhythmic approach, with Burke contributing drums and synthesizers. R&B listeners responded, notably on the title track (#68 R&B) and "I've Made Love To You A Thousand Times" (#8 R&B), but Robinson was shut out of the Hot 100, and as a result Touch The Sky continued his slide in LP sales.
