Pure Smokey.

❤when Smokey sings

[@MostlyBrenda]

He was at the very core of Motown. Add the writing team of Holland/Dozier/Holland, the Funk Brothers studio musicians and you have "The Sound of Young America" (their slogan).

The best Smokey period, period!

[@darrenrunning5415]

Smokey was 33-34 when he filmed this and had already been writing/performing for almost half his life. That's quite a career just in that span alone

[@THEHERMANATORANDSPURGLE2833]

Smokey was a huge part of my youth as my mom loved him and the Motown sound. She'd drop a stack of vinyl on the console stereo and have the house hoppin'. Thanks mom and Smokey for helping me appreciate good music.

[@BeelzeJon]

Wow. Was that James Brown giving a standing audation at the end?

[@SherryJacksonTV]

Are we going to see Paul Butterfield's Better Days from this episode of Jan 18th 1974 ? Also their Sept 28th 1973 episode ?
