A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZread. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZread I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZread won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZread channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

    This song should be on an endless loop. Smokey is a national treasure and was instrumental in Motown's success. After Berry Gordy, Motown was Smokey Robinson. His voice is so distinctive and his songwriting was some of the best ever. I saw him in concert about 12 years ago and he was still great.

    Smokey Robinson is a true legend. Not only is he a great singer, he is also a great songwriter. One of his most popular songs, he wrote for the Temptations. That song was My Girl. He became popular with his group The Miracles aka Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Another fun fact, he was once Vice President of Motown Records.

    🤩 Oh yeah! Smokey is a GOLDEN👑 SUPER TALENT! Writing and producing since The 60's when he was with Motown as Smokey Robinson and Miracles. I am happy to say I have those original vinyl albums of theirs that were my parent's. James, since you love "Cruisin", then you're going to FLIP OUT over his older hits. Smokey has a huge catalog of hits. Just know he also made great music throughout the 70's and beyond. But you have to start with his early 60's hit - ☆"You Really Got A Hold On Me", this one and"Ooo Baby Baby" fr 1965, are so smooth, but were pretty edgy for that time. You shld also react to Smokey's "The Tracks of My Tears", "Baby Baby Don't Cry", "Baby Come Close"- 1973, "The Agony & The Ecstasy", "Quiet Storm", "Baby That's Backatcha"-1975, "Being with You"-1981, "Tell me Tomorrow"-1982

    Smokey spent many many years with Motown at the very beginning of its inception with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. They had multiple hits. Smokey was often called America's leading poet and has written numerous hits for other groups and people such as Marvin Gaye, Supremes, Temptations just to name a few. Ooh, Baby Baby, Tears of a Clown, Tracks of my Tears, I second that Emotion just to name a very few. His musical history is pages long in Wikipedia, you should check it out.
