  6. Smokey Robinson sizzled at the Ferguson Center | a review

    It's common to see legendary artists sleepwalk through their concerts. After all, what do they have to prove? They earned their reputations decades ago. Now, all that's necessary is to show up, sing a few hits, smile and get out of town.
