"Smokey is known for his quick wit and metaphorical spunk and this, his first Gospel album, is his best songwriting since the early days. One can hear traces of the call and response style we've come to know and love. For someone who has been in recording studios and on stage since the late 50's, Smokey's voice has remained pure and smooth. The stand out tracks are "Jesus Told Me To Love You" and "We Are The Warriors". These songs are not Smokey's first Gospel recordings; The Miracles released two great Christmas albums during the sixties, and their recording of "Rock of Ages" on "In Loving Memory" is astounding. "Food For The Spirit" is full of some of the best current music around and is sure to raise the standard for other contemporary artists."
Smokey Robinson- Food For The Spirit

"I enjoyed this release. It's about time Smokey did a release of spiritual music. He sounded great on the "Motown Comes Home" CD, I wondered when this release would happen. "Let Your Light Shine On Me" is by far the most beautiful song and is comparable to most of Smokeys best ballads. Other notable songs include Jesus Told Me To Love You, The Road To Damascus, I Prayed About It and more. This CD is very good listening anytime. I would have preferred a lot more beautiful ballads (Smokey at his best) over mid tempo tunes. Smokey still has his touch. Buy it!!"
Nice CD!

"I really liked the Food for the Spirit CD & video!
"Let Your Light Shine On Me" was so beautifully done!
My 2nd most favorite song on this CD would be
"Standing On Jesus". I, personally, didn't really
care all that much for "Gang Bangin" - but, that's
just me - no offense. Everybody's different. Let me
just say that I've LOVED Smokey's voice for many years!
Will be anxiously awaiting Smokey's next Gospel/Spiritual
release!!! God Bless You Smokey! Keep up the good work!"
