Smokey Robinson Being Honored For Charitable Efforts

Smokey Robinson is getting an award — this time for his charitable efforts.

The icon will be honored on May 19 by the MusiCares MAP Fund, which
provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery
treatment regardless of their financial situation.

Singers CeeLo Green, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, El DeBarge and Kem
will perform in honor of Robinson at The Novo in Los Angeles. Tickets go
on sale Monday.

Robinson will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award, which was given to Pete Townshend at last year’s benefit concert.

The 76-year-old Robinson also will perform at the event, to be hosted
by comedian-actor Cedric the Entertainer. Additional performers will be
announced at a later date.
