I'm an old white gal addicted to love songs and this by far is the greatest EVER. I was 16 when Motown hit the scene and being a Michigander I supported it by buying all the records and albums of these phenomenal artist. When Smokey sings this song you can hear and feel his raw passion it used to pull the backbone straight out my body. At age 24 I got pregnant with my second son listening to this with my husband. Thanks Smokey for helping me along with that LOL. Old Motown Forever. R.I.P. Replacement Isn't Possible. Ever.
Michigander here too, Westland/Brighton in the 70s just a lil younger and I loved Motown !! Skating rinks were always playing some Motown hits!! Good times!!
Oh the world of Motown!!! You could spend forever exploring this music. Fantastic singers. Wonderful songs. I’m over 65 and can still sing along to most any of these songs. Mercy mercy mercy.
My wife and I just saw Smokey on Saturday night at The Borgata. He is 79 years old and still sounds exactly like that.He looks and moves like he's 40. He sang for over 2 hours, unbelievable.!
@@pedal4ever Lol. I was raised in the Arkansas delta. It's a crossroads for all types of great music...and my parents were huge Motown fans, so we were raised right.
Thank God we still have some real gems recorded live from back in the day. Thank God for whoever preserves these recordings. There is NOTHING like Smokey Robinson's voice. He's a one-of-a-kind!
Yes, Smokey was and is a soft-spoken man. His singing voice is high tenor but he lived in the falsetto range and for 2 decades may have been the most popular falsetto voice selling pop records world-wide. There's only one "Smokey". And he wrote most of his own material as well as bonafide hits for others. Charted a library of hit records all while being a record executive VP at Motown.
This is one of my all time favourite Smokey and Motown songs. He still has it today, have heard him sing great versions including jamming with Daryl Hall & our Aussie's Human Nature. He had so many hits including Being With You, Tears of A Clown, Tracks Of My Tears.
Such class! It’s thrilling. Smokey throwing down! And those background singers! How I miss this era. I’m so glad you got to hear Smokey and the Miracles and all your listeners did, too.
1965. Come on Smoke!!!! Those were the days. " I'm just about at the end of my rope, but I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope". Oh MY My. He was quite an Amazing writer.
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" was based on "Bring It On Home To Me" Check it out live!: ua-cam.com/video/idaq6lY6mwg/v-deo.html
I've analyzed this video many times. You did it no justice in my opinion. This performance is the epitome of cool. From lead singer Smokey Robinson, to his background singers Bobby, Ronnie and Pete, nothing but class you see here. From their smooth hand movement and subtle steps. I bet you didn't even notice Smokey undoing his tie between his verse and chorus. They just don't make music like this anymore. Neither do they perform this way either. Showmanship! Let alone singing the song slightly different than the album version. The one thing I haven't discovered about this performance is whether this is the one Smokey talked about when Ray Charles did the sheet music for the band to play at the Apollo Theater. You clearly hear a different orchestral take from the musicians that played. This is beyond a classic! This is life represented by an artist who took advantage of the time when wonderfully written songs about love were appreciated! Peace my Brother! Don't play around with Smokey! He is SPECIAL!
One of the great if not the greatest pop song writers of our generation. Mr. Smokey Robinson. Still alive, still kickin'. That beautiful voice is still there. Happy New Year Mr. Miracle. And check out how smooth the background singers with their movements are. Classic. I saw these guys an unbelievable 5 times back in the day. Twice with his then wife on stage with them. Unforgettable, respectful love songs.
When I was younger...a very long time ago... Smokey was dancing music. We always danced to his tunes. Thise moments are etched into my memory. He was bad assed good!
That was one of my favorite songs back then. Smokey wrote that and many of the songs sung by Motown artists. He and Stevie Wonder were songwriter/performer GENIUSES, As was Marvin Gaye. Not sure if I care for what I perceive as disrespect for their talent (thought it was a girl singing???)
Have you wondered why the backups never moved much? Back then the TV censors, and most older adults, thought that too much body movement was vulgar. So, musicians used synchronized hand movements and steps to add to the performance. This brings back a lot of memories of first crushes! Love Smokey!
Linda Ronstadt did a geat cover version of this song, as well as of Smokey's "Tracks of My Tears." ... I also recommend some of Linda's other hits: "You're No Good," "Blue Bayou," "When Will I Be Loved?", and "I Don't Know Much," a duet with Aaron Neville.
FROM THAT LONG AGO SPRING OF 1965--------------THIS IS MY ALL-TIME #1 SONG-----------EVER ! -----------THE GROUP WAS CALLED THEN, " THE MIRACLES " ------------WILLIAM FRANKLIN ROBINSON JR , AKA, " SMOKEY " ------------BOBBY RODGERS, RINNIE WHITE, & PETE MOORE. 1ST TIME I HEARD THIS, I WAS IN TEARS.

I grew up in Detroit near Motown Records.. damn, those were great performers.. Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye... The Miracles... damn.. brings back many memories.. Barry Gordy was a master of music!
Tracks of My Tears, do it, you know you want to. His voice had matured by then. He used to come back to Lancaster SC ( where he was from ) and put on free shows at Spring's Park. I was lucky enough to see a few, even though I was a kid.
You are watching a Legend My Friend. He holds the distinction of having Hit Records in every Single Decade from the 1950's and now along with The Isley Brothers & Paul Anka. He wrote Hits for The Temptations Marvelettes, Mary Wells, & Marvin Gaye. HIs Songs have been covered from a veritable Who's Who in Music. The Beatles Rolling Stones, Linda Rondstadt, UB40 and Kim Carnes not to mention En Vogue and The Jackson Five. HIs Songs have been featured in Movies like The Big Chill, Platoon, My Girl, Heaven Help Us aka Catholic Boys. and Sister Act where "My Guy" was Parodied as My God as well as Catholic Boy aka Heaven Help Us. His Songs were also featured on TV Shows like The Wonder Years & China Beach. His Songs have also been used to sell everything from Coats, Toothbrushes, and Raisins. and ,also have a whole new generation of Fans most notably in the UK since "Who's Loving You" is now the most popular Audition Song on The X Factor UK where Simon Cowell is one of the Judges.
I’m a Motown Girl. Can’t you tell? Smokey is amazing! I don’t think Motown would have been the great success that it was if not for Smokey, a sweet gifted humble man who I had the pleasure of meeting.
This is Smokey Robinson and the Miracles before he went solo. But that doesn't change the fact that he has an amazing voice!!! He puts ya in the mood!!! I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂 🐧🐧
Seeing your Righteous Brothers and Smokey Robinson videos reminds me how lucky I ws to be born in 1967 and to have been able to seen the MoTown acts on TV when I was 3 and 4. I was "there" in such a pivotal time and too young to know it until much later. There were at least as many people conceived to Smokey Robinson as Steve Perry. On a different track, have you heard "Tracks of My Tears" or "Tears of a Clown"?
Smokey is AWESOME. I used to listen to him all the time. Got picked on, too, because I'm white. I love OLD Motown. I was born in '70. I remember Soul Train. My parents would get pissed on Saturday, I love all types of music.
I am not a patreon, but I do have a suggestion I believe you would appreciate. Have you ever listened to The Moody Blues? They intended for the entire album to be listened to because all of the songs built upon each other. I know you prefer to listen to live performances but trust me. you want to listen to the studio version. They combined poetry, rock, and a full orchestra, and mellatron to take you away on a cosmic journey.. If you want a single song to listen to, try Nights in White Satin. You owe it to yourself to listen to the entire albums "Days of Future Passed" and "In Search of the Lost Chord." If you listen to the entire albums you probably should listen on a Tuuuuuuuesday aaaaaaafternoon
Smokey Sang! Chills still going strong hearing this live version. Miracles added the bam to this emotional sung ballet I've been loving all these decades.
Though this is Smokey at his best, you must also hear "Shop Around" ua-cam.com/video/3k27udNlpGM/v-deo.html , "You Really Got A Hold On Me" ua-cam.com/video/idaq6lY6mwg/v-deo.html, "Here I Go Again", "The Tracks of My Tears", "Going to A Go Go" from his Miracles do and "Baby Come Close", "Being With You", "Crusin'", "Double Good Everything" and "Virgin Man" from his solo years.
Spring of '65-------MY all-time # 1 song. ------ALL-TIME ! ---------------------i WAS 18 Y/O, & ALL OF LIFE, WAS AHEAD------------------------------wOLFsKY9
I heard this song as a child and saw them on Ed Sullivan, but I have to tell ya, as a grown person, when I hear that song and watch Smokey lay down those lyrics and loosen his tie, it only takes seconds for my clothes to hit the floor! Want to see something funny? Play this video in front of your family members the next big get together you have and watch the ladies who are 60ish, plus! And the men will be cryin'. I'm just sayin! Excellent reaction to one of the classic love songs of all ages!

What a singer-songwriter. And what a group. Timeless music.
Smokey was a musical genius...song writer, singer, producer. My very favorite out of Mo-Town!
I'm an old white gal addicted to love songs and this by far is the greatest EVER.

Aunt Kitty Hashtag I’m a Michigander too. Born and raised in Detroit. A teen in the 60’s. Smokey was the best.
Michigander here too, Westland/Brighton in the 70s just a lil younger and I loved Motown !! Skating rinks were always playing some Motown hits!! Good times!!
@@65motowngirl What about the REST of The MIRACLES ?
Oh the world of Motown!!! You could spend forever exploring this music. Fantastic singers. Wonderful songs. I’m over 65 and can still sing along to most any of these songs. Mercy mercy mercy.
Smokey songs- ‘Tracks of my Tears’, I Second that Emotion’, ‘Tears of a Clown’
Yes! All three of those songs are fantastic!!!
Dont forget Cruisin!
My favorites, 'More Love' and 'You Really Got a Hold on Me'
💯!❤️🎼🎤😎
NO, those are ALL *MIRACLES* songs. Smokey did not record them by HIMSELF.
It’s hard to beat Smokey and the Miracles.
My wife and I just saw Smokey on Saturday night at The Borgata. He is 79 years old and still sounds exactly like that.He looks and moves like he's 40. He sang for over 2 hours, unbelievable.!
Jimmy Ruffin 'What Becomes of the Brokenhearted'. A great classic Motown song
@@pedal4ever Lol. I was raised in the Arkansas delta. It's a crossroads for all types of great music...and my parents were huge Motown fans, so we were raised right.
Another favorite of mine!
this was required at any basement dance party in the 6os.You can't slow dance to the beatles.Smokey had that covered with all of his songs.
THIS is a CLASSIC!!! Love me some SMOKEY 😌☺... MUSIC these days DON'T come close to this QUALITY
Makki Sligar Amen to that.
I was so lucky to see him in Vegas in the early 70's. What a show man. Love his voice!!
Thank God we still have some real gems recorded live from back in the day. Thank God for whoever preserves these recordings. There is NOTHING like Smokey Robinson's voice. He's a one-of-a-kind!
Wow, never seen this performance before. Smokey looks so young. Imagine what his life was like back then, just starting out.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Yes, Smokey was and is a soft-spoken man. His singing voice is high tenor but he lived in the falsetto range and for 2 decades may have been the most popular falsetto voice selling pop records world-wide. There's only one "Smokey". And he wrote most of his own material as well as bonafide hits for others. Charted a library of hit records all while being a record executive VP at Motown.
These guys were smooth back then. I'm old school.
This is one of my all time favourite Smokey and Motown songs. He still has it today, have heard him sing great versions including jamming with Daryl Hall & our Aussie's Human Nature. He had so many hits including Being With You, Tears of A Clown, Tracks Of My Tears.
Such class! It’s thrilling. Smokey throwing down! And those background singers! How I miss this era. I’m so glad you got to hear Smokey and the Miracles and all your listeners did, too.
one of my favorite groups from the Motown era. Love Smokey Robinson!
What about the REST of The MIRACLES ?
1965. Come on Smoke!!!! Those were the days. " I'm just about at the end of my rope, but I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope". Oh MY My. He was quite an Amazing writer.
This song tugged at the heart strings of all teenage girls. We will always love SMOKEY.
Smokey was really young here, He went on to do duet Linda Ronstadt, I believe same song. He is smooth
I still say Sam Cooke 'Bring It On Home To Me'
ARredneckgirl 24 that song is amazing!!
And after that, "A Change is Gonna Come."
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" was based on "Bring It On Home To Me" Check it out live!: ua-cam.com/video/idaq6lY6mwg/v-deo.html

Love, love, love Smokey. He wrote "You Really Got A Hold on Me" and the Beatles made it a huuuuuuuge hit.
Uh it was a million selling song with smokey
Definitely Smoky did it better, and thats coming from a huge Beatles fan!❤❤❤@@qwertymanor
One of the great if not the greatest pop song writers of our generation. Mr. Smokey Robinson. Still alive, still kickin'. That beautiful voice is still there. Happy New Year Mr. Miracle.

no head scratch? C'mon Renaissance Man, that was worth at least one head scratch from you. I'm disappointed.
Lol
I like Smokey so smooth.
When I was younger...a very long time ago... Smokey was dancing music. We always danced to his tunes. Thise moments are etched into my memory. He was bad assed good!
One of my all time favorites !
Also love more love !
Try Little Anthony and The Imperials. Tears on my pillow.
Smokey! Please also listen to Mary Wells, The One Who Really Loves You.
This is definitely recorded LIVE. Blue-eyed Smokey is still going strong.
Smokey's "Fork in the Road" and "You Can Depend on Me". ❣️❣️❣️❣️
You can't go wrong with Motown. How about reacting to "I Can't Help Myself" by the Four Tops or "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes?
That was one of my favorite songs back then. Smokey wrote that and many of the songs sung by Motown artists. He and Stevie Wonder were songwriter/performer GENIUSES, As was Marvin Gaye. Not sure if I care for what I perceive as disrespect for their talent (thought it was a girl singing???)
This one is classic! Thumbs up!
TEARS OF A CLOWN. if I could, I would listen to it every single days.
also every double day
Try The Platters-My Dream, Tony Williams had such an amazing voice.
Platters great pretender!!
Absolutely love this song one of the all time greats boy this man can sing 🎤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
if you are strong, try linda Ronstadt and smokey doing baby baby, but take a pill first
This always brings to mind The Five Stairsteps "Ooh Child"
The kind of song that makes you weep delicious tears even if you’re not heartbroken😉
A young Smokey! Can't go wrong with his voice & music.
Have you wondered why the backups never moved much? Back then the TV censors, and most older adults, thought that too much body movement was vulgar. So, musicians used synchronized hand movements and steps to add to the performance. This brings back a lot of memories of first crushes! Love Smokey!
It didn’t stop groups like the Temptations throwing shapes on stage .
Linda Ronstadt did a geat cover version of this song, as well as of Smokey's "Tracks of My Tears." ... I also recommend some of Linda's other hits: "You're No Good," "Blue Bayou," "When Will I Be Loved?", and "I Don't Know Much," a duet with Aaron Neville.
What a voice. He is gifted. He did this at Daryl's House,, with D Hall.,. Check it out

I love Smokey's distinctive voice. Another great song he did with the Miracles is "On The OutSide Looking In".
Tracks of My Tears, do it, you know you want to. His voice had matured by then. He used to come back to Lancaster SC ( where he was from ) and put on free shows at Spring's Park. I was lucky enough to see a few, even though I was a kid.
This man STILL has his pipes. There will never be another Smokey. Lodie.
Linda Rondstadt covered this song too. Did a really good job!
Smokey. One of the most badass ever....and one of the most talented.
I so loved this group! This made me cry!! Thank you so much, awesome!

I first heard this song from the temptations miniseries growing up loved it ever since
Smokey is my all time favorite and love you too Ty ❤
Their obviously singing live. They were Motown’s biggest group. Megastars! Love ❤️
Check out “Cruisin” & “Being with you.” Both by Smokey.
Love Smokey Too! Love his voice & songs. Beautiful green eyes. Linda Ronstadt covered this song. They did a duet together "live" years ago.
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were the sound track to my teen years!
I’m a Motown Girl. Can’t you tell? Smokey is amazing! I don’t think Motown would have been the great success that it was if not for Smokey, a sweet gifted humble man who I had the pleasure of meeting.

love my smokey... my new fave reaction ch
Smokey had a lot of hits of his own and wrote many hits performed by other Motown artists. A great talent.
Smokey covers? Check Linda Ronstadt.
Glad you knew about smokey and the miracles, for sure your mom knows his music! Pretty great!!!
Smokey was so smooth.. with the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen.. Dreamy...
He is so young. Love me some Smokey!!
Need to do more Motown!!

I second that ! ! !
Linda Ronstadt also did this song and I had a dog that would howl everytime she sang the verse ooOOOooo baby baby.
Really gonna miss you goes right along with the movie. It reminds me of my buddy who overdosed many years ago.
Smokey just has a voice you can't forget. We were lucky to have seen him in concert. The dude's smooth.
Smokey is smoother than butter!!! 💜🎶💜🎶💜
Now I know where The Chi-Lites got their moves.
In "Oh Girl", The Chi-Lites copied these moves while their lead singer was singing.
The Chi-Lites were late. Those "moves" were classic on the circuit of black theaters, long before they started performing.
I want to double love this one.
Smokey has that ‘bedroom’ voice with the songs he sings!
Loved him then, love him still.
Thanks.

Classic Smokey
Smokey Robinson is one of the best song writers ever.
Smokey ain't nothing but smooth.
How cool are The Miracles in the background there.
Imagine if black people never got their freedom, the amount of good music we would've missed out on
Trust me, I grew up with Motown, and we girls loved a pretty boy with a sweet voice who poured out his emotions.
I heard this song as a child and saw them on Ed Sullivan, but I have to tell ya, as a grown person, when I hear that song and watch Smokey lay down those lyrics and loosen his tie, it only takes seconds for my clothes to hit the floor! Want to see something funny? Play this video in front of your family members the next big get together you have and watch the ladies who are 60ish, plus! And the men will be cryin'. I'm just sayin! Excellent reaction to one of the classic love songs of all ages!
Smokey the songwriting and singing genius. See the influence on MJ’s vocals?
Smokey is the best!
Great genuine no-lip-synch performance.
I'm not surprised you thought he was a woman, he does have a very high tenor. Lovely!
Luther croons
Sly's the original, originator
James screams
Marvin was the only innovator
But nothing can compare, nothing can compare
When smokey sings
From "when Smokey sings" by ABC
Ah, a classic!
Him and Aretha Franklin singing this together, it was excellent. OR PLAY TEENA MARIE SERENADING HIM WITH THIS SONG.
Smokey Robinson is some of the best music EVER!
OOO BABY BABY by *THE MIRACLES*
*Smokey Robinson, Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, and Ronnie White*
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracles
I always think that Smokey is like the Black version of Art Garfunkel, both great , both individual, yet kinda similar.
Smokey Robinson wrote something like half of the songs released by Motown
Theres just not good music anymore much. Very seldom. Poor kids these days have no idea.
