Deep in My Soul is the fourth studio album by Smokey Robinson as a solo artist, released in 1977 on the Motown label. It was entirely produced by Robinson himself, marking a return to a more soulful and romantic ballad sound after his early solo works.
The album includes the single 'The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage', a cover of a previous hit by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles from 1967. Although it did not achieve the commercial success of his earlier efforts, the record was well received by critics for its refined production and Robinson's vocal performances.
Recording took place at Motown studios in Detroit and Los Angeles, with session musicians from the house band. The album did not enter the top 40 of the Billboard 200, but it did chart on the R&B lists, solidifying Robinson's transition from group leader to established solo artist.
