'Classic soul music is my thing, man.'
Smokey Robinson performs on stage at San Diego County Fair on June 15, 2019 in Del Mar, Calif.and James Corden competed against each other in a riff-off to see if classic or modern soul music is better.
Motown legend Smokey Robinson ultimately walked onstage to challenge Corden's view. "I heard you've been telling people that modern soul music is better than classic soul music," said Robinson. "Classic soul music is my thing, man."The host welcomed an a capella group to the stage before he and the musician went head to head. "I'll be honest, I felt more confident when I was over there," said Corden as his face inched closer to Robinson.
"James, it seems like you weren't quite ready that time," Robinson said. Corden responded, "You worry about the Smokey, I'll worry about the jokey." "That was incredible. Fine, you win," said Corden as he cut off the audience's cheers for Robinson. "I don't even know why I got into this stupid fight. I mean, you're Smokey Robinson. I didn't stand a chance, man. I think about music and I just lose it."
