(Radio.com) Smokey Robinson is preparing to release Smokey and Friends, an album of duet updates on some of the man's greatest songs and is giving fans an early taste with the release of one of the tracks.

The guest list is rather diverse, and now you can listen to the first track from the album, an update of "Quiet Storm," featuring John Legend. The album also features collaborations with James Taylor, Elton John, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Cee-Lo Green and Jessie J., among others.

While most of the songs are straight duets, on "My Girl," a song that Robinson wrote for the Temptations, he sings with Miguel, Aloe Blacc and NSYNC's JC Chasez to match the legendary group's harmonies; John Mayer plays the classic guitar riff on the song.
