Yes It's You Lady is a 1982 album by American singer Smokey Robinson. As with 1981's Being with You, it was produced by George Tobin in association with Mike Piccirillo and recorded and mixed at Studio Sound Recorders, North Hollywood, California. It was released on the Motown sub-label Tamla.
The album peaked at #33 in Billboard pop charts, and at #6 on the R&B charts. The two follow-up singles to 1981's chart success' "Being with you" were notably not Robinson compositions: "Tell Me Tomorrow" peaked at #33 Billboard and #3 R&B charts, "Old Fashioned Love" at #60 Billboard and #17 R&B charts. The third and final single, Robinson's "Yes It's You Lady" only peaked at #107 Billboard, without entering the R&B charts.
Robert Christgau rated the album as B, praising Robinson's mature voice and singing, while complaining about the weakness of the "material". Concluding with "he almost gets away with it anyway".[1]
