    You have arrived at the sounds of best Motown artists in their greatest era. Besides being a fabulous singer, Smokey is the composer of many Motown hits performed by other artists, including Mary Wells, The Temptations, The Marvelettes, and Marvin Gaye.
    Listen to Smokey's "Ooo Baby Baby" or "The Tracks of My Tears".
    Then listen to Mary Wells sing the big hits he penned for her: "My Guy", "The One Who Really Loves You", "Two Lovers", and "You Beat Me to the Punch".

    Another rabbit hole Worth going down. Tons & tons of great music from this group.with & without smokey. Smokey wrote & produced most of the songs not only for the miracles, but for most of groups/ singers on motown

    Smokey wrote this song. What's amazing is, Bob Dylan who is perhaps The Greatest Songwriter Of All Time, actually commented once that Smokey was the best lyricist ever. When Smokey heard that comment from Bob, he was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe it. But he was very appreciative. By the way, Roy Orbison wasn't blind, he just started wearing dark glasses and it became a trademark of his.

    This song started my love for Smokey Robinson; it hit the airwaves when I was eleven and I was hooked!! I've loved him through all these years. 💖 edit: You two are so funny! 😆 My request is their 1965 son Ooo Baby Baby, please and thank you.👍

    "You Really Got a Hold on Me" (1964). Was written by singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson. He was one of the most prolific songwriters in the history of music. Besides writing and singing most of the songs for the Imperials. He also wrote songs for other artist on the Motown label. Glad to see your going down the Motown rabbit hole. Great reaction as always.

    Smokey is one of the all time greats! He writes, sings (voice so sweet you get diabetes just listening to him), produces. Was a good looking young man and grew old with grace still looking good. I heard him on the radio and someone requested one of his songs and he said thanks but no: I'm here to play others music and help them out (dude is humble too)! Gotta love Smokey!

    Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were pretty fabulous. They inspired The Beatles among many others. Smokey also mentored Michael Jackson when he was a child star too. When you're ready for more hits from Smokey Robinson & The Miracles check out "I Second That Emotion", "The Tracks Of My Tears", "The Tears Of A Clown", "Shop Around", "Going to a Go-Go", and "I Like It Like That" among many others. And be sure to check out some of the songs Robinson wrote and produced: Mary Wells "My Guy", The Temptations "My Girl", "The Way You Do The Things You Do", and "Get Ready", The Four Tops "Stillwater", and Marvin Gaye "Ain't That Peculiar" among others.

    Smokey is the ultimate poet lyricist. Check out just about any song, particularly from the mid '60's to the early 70's. I highly recommend Darling Dear, Swept For You, and More Love. Another great classic that Smokey and the Miracles did was a song called Give Her Up. I was surprised to find out that Smokey didn't write it but it sure sounds like he did. I am sure you won't regret reviewing any or all of them.

    Now, Smokey Robinson, was my favorite singer, he was in a group called the “Miracles.” He saying not I don’t like, not like, I don’t like you. Meaning, I like you, & I love you at the same time. You act crazy, but I love you, anyway!!! Now, 2 things, 1. he was married 1nc. 2. he not only wrote for other people & himself but he sung solo himself! Love y’all’s!!!

    I used to play this song in my room so loud that my dad used to bang on the walls. That's when I would respond to him and say, but Dad it's Smokey. Smokey Robinson wrote a lot of music for a lot of artists. For example, Mary Wells, The Temptations, Rick James and so on.
