Smokey Robinson is nearing the end of a dispute with his ex-wife over song rights. According to “The Hollywood Reporter,” the legendary R&B singer and Claudette Robinson told a judge last week that they’ve reached a settlement in principle. Smokey is in the process of reclaiming the rights to his works, but Claudette has asserted that she deserves 50-percent of whatever he recovers. The two sides have essentially called a truce, but their lawyers told the judge they need more time to finalize the details due to the complex nature of the issue.
