On April 24, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors elected William
("Smokey") Robinson Jr. as a Director of the Company. Smokey Robinson will serve
on the Board of Directors until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Smokey
has been an ardent supporter of "green" products and initiatives for many years.
Our Board of Directors has also nominated Smokey for re-election as a Director
at our next Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in June 2012.
WILLIAM ("SMOKEY") ROBINSON JR., DIRECTOR
Smokey Robinson has had a 50 year career in music.
Once pronounced by Bob Dylan as America's "greatest living poet," acclaimed
singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson's career spans over 4 decades of hits. He has
received numerous awards including the Grammy Living Legend Award, NARAS
Lifetime Achievement Award, Honorary Doctorate (Howard University), Kennedy
Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts Award from the President of the
United States. He has also been inducted into the Rock `n' Roll Hall of Fame and
the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Robinson founded The Miracles while
still in high school. The group was Berry Gordy's first vocal group, and it was
at Robinson's suggestion that Gordy started the Motown Record dynasty. Their
single of Robinson's "Shop Around" became Motown's first #1 hit on the R&B
singles chart. In the years following, Robinson continued to pen hits for the
group including "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," "Ooo Baby Baby," "The Tracks
of My Tears," "Going to a Go-Go," "More Love," "Tears of a Clown" (co-written
with Stevie Wonder), and "I Second That Emotion."
The Miracles dominated the R&B scene throughout the 1960's and early 70's
and Robinson became Vice President of Motown Records serving as in-house
producer, talent scout and songwriter.
In addition to writing hits for the Miracles, Robinson wrote and produced
hits for other Motown greats including The Temptations, Mary Wells, Brenda
Holloway, Marvin Gaye and others. "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl,"
"Get Ready," "You Beat Me to the Punch," "Don't Mess with Bill," "Ain't That
Peculiar," and "My Guy" are just a few of his songwriting triumphs during those
years.
John Lennon of The Beatles made countless remarks regarding Robinson's
influence on his music. The Beatles had recorded Robinson and The Miracles'
"You've Really Got A Hold On Me" in 1963 and in 1982 another popular British
group, The Rolling Stones covered the Robinson and the Miracles' hit "Going To A
Go-Go."
He later turned to a solo career where he continued his tradition of
hitmaking with "Just to See Her," "Quiet Storm," "Cruisin'," and "Being with
You," among others.
He remained Vice President of Motown records until the sale of the company,
shaping the label's success with friend and mentor Berry Gordy. Following his
tenure at Motown, he continued his impressive touring career and released
several successful solo albums.
2
During the course of his 50-year career in music, Robinson has accumulated
more than 4,000 songs to his credit and continues to thrill sold-out audiences
around the world with his high tenor voice, impeccable timing, and profound
sense of lyric. Never resting on his laurels, Smokey Robinson remains a beloved
icon in our musical heritage.
COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has not entered into any compensatory arrangements with Mr.
Robinson at this time.
