Synopsis

The last night of the Electric Proms stars American soul legend Smokey Robinson in a very special celebration of 50 years of Motown.

Presented from London's Roundhouse by Trevor Nelson and Edith Bowman, Smokey and his band are joined on stage by the BBC Concert Orchestra for a unique performance of arrangements specially commissioned by the BBC.

The set includes classic soul and Motown songs from Smokey's career like Tears of a Clown, Tracks of My Tears and My Girl, alongside new material from his forthcoming album Time Flies When You're Having Fun.
