But like you said Smokey was VP (and staff writer and producer). His albums were never really big sellers like Stevie's, Marvin's, or later on Lionel Richie's. He was mostly a singles artist and most of his albums are out of print in the US except for compilations, the Quiet Storm album (and and they've never even bothered to remaster it).
You're right about that. Smokey's productions and his '60s tenure with the Miracles actually sold better than his solo records.
