Smokey Robinson did a favor for Rachael by surprising a couple at their wedding, which was part of a huge tradeoff series. Watch Smokey's performance][2].

But his services weren't free -- as part of his trade-off for singing, he wanted Rachael to cook him breakfast! A deal's a deal, so Rachael whips up a healthy meal for Smokey when he stops by for some kitchen table talk.

Smokey has more than 4,000 songs to his credit. But creating his many classic songs wasn't always easy: "I always tried to write poetry in songs," Smokey admits, "but not until I met Berry Gordy did I learn how to construct my songs so that they were really songs. I could always rhyme stuff, but I'd have four or five songs in one song because the first verse would have nothing to do with the second verse -- but it would be all rhymed up! And the bridge would have nothing to do with either of those verses -- but it would be all rhymed up!"
