When he was a child, he was nicknamed "Smokey Joe" by his uncle because of his love of cowboy movies. In his teens, this was shortened to Smokey. and there you have it!!!!!
Me too. When I worked in London we were a mixture. Enjoying each other's food, culture, dance and most importantly music. Tbh the UK is the best place in the world to live, we all get along and celebrate our differences
Who could possibly give this iconic song a thumbs down?? With everything that’s happening in today society closing my eyes and really listing to this beautiful song brings much needed happy tears to my eyes.
MARV co-wrote this song with Smokey, (along with numerous others) and was inducted with the rest of the original MIRACLES into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2012 .
Can you think of another song as smooth as this.Smokey is smokin on this cut.Makes me want to pick up my high school sweetheart and go for a long Sunday afternoon drive. 30 years later I still love you Lydia.
I never really understood the deal about Smoking Robinson. Until I heard this song that it. The first time I heard a snippet of this song, my friend wanted to change it to the Piña Colada Song with Rupert Holmes, so I didn't get to hear the full extend of it. But in those few seconds, I immediately recognized his genius. The Piña song really is a piece of shit when you think about it. So, when it was over, I immediately switched back to my new found genius. What a natural performer, what a band, love the backup singer, the contrast is astonishing!
Music with so much meaning, finesse and expression of feeling. Music that bends the soul in all the right ways. Thank you Smokey Robinson for this song; a masterpiece!
I once read an interview with Smokey, when he said "I've got an OK voice - I can carry a tune." Hmm - and there I was, thinking he had the voice of an angel! Wonderful song and vocal performance by the great man.
This song is sooooo smoooth, it put me in very mellow mood. I put on repeat an just sing and dance along. I love it and remember from years ago lovin it. Back then. Now I am 70 and love you SMOKEY ROBINSON still for all your songs
This song sounds like its 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989,1999, 2009, 2019.....its time less ! It could have been #1 ever one of those years. Thank you again Smokey for this Masterpiece !
....You are still young in Your heart!!!! .... just the body is wrinkling and going old....Your soul doesn't...... greetz to you from Germany...where AFN brought me my English in the very early 80's..... Love my Muscle MoPar cruising here...
Posted a comment on Allstate's website amid mostly complaints about untimely claim payments--"Allstate, your greatest accomplishment of the year is your revival of Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin". Since seeing that commercial for the first time, I have listened to Crusin over and over and it brings back so many memories of the greatest music ever--from the 50's on, there's nothing like R&B!!
I Love Smokey! Sound so good I honestly thought he was lip singing, but he was in his Prime at the time I guess. I met Mr. Gordy, Melvin Franklin and Smokey once and that day was a Wonderful memory because all of them were kind and courteous to me! Just Class personified!!!
Soaring soul from the Smoke of them all: The great Bill "Smokey" Robinson, singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, co-founder of Motown, a true gift to ALL the soul of America, forever and ever.
I love this song a lot. This song reminds me of my husband aka my Sexyman Mike. My husband has been battling cancer since 2017. It’s January 2021 he will soon be with the Angels you earned your wings.I love you so much.
Quando escutamos uma música como esta, que com certeza é uma das mais belas de todos os tempos, o nosso coração se vê tomado de emoção. Viva o romantismo. Viva o Amor!!!!!
Music at its best, loving this song, remind me of my family,brothers and a sister who past on. Beatiful memories, the days of Radio BOB in the 80's,wow.
I,could listen to him,all of the time!! He's, such a talented Singer ! I,do believe a lot of Pregnancies happened while couples,were listing to this one!!
At least old school singers don't stop singing to ask the crowd to sing along or stick the mic out for the audience to sing. They get paid to sing and that's what they do.
his voice is velvet in this song, loved hearing this song when i was feeling sad, he cheered me up, by invisioning a summer drive to take my cares away, thanks smokey for this song.
The smoothest voice in soul music.
Now this is what you called real music 😎
The essence of a musical genre! … well probably never see anything like this again.
this is one voice that will never be duplicated nor Immitated
Hi, look up pfunk2010. It's the best I've heard with Smokey's style..
Only thing that comes close it TC from force mds

Same here. And now that I'm here I've listened to it three times already.
@@jdoe1988 yeah, me too.❤️
Me too. It's on replay.
Exactly what just happened to me, Allstate commercial. (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)
Me too. I love it. Cruising on the moon!
A timeless classic. Never gets old.
This is how music is suppose to be. NOT like todays garbage.
Can you think of another song as smooth as this.Smokey is smokin on this cut.Makes me want to pick up my high school sweetheart and go for a long Sunday afternoon drive. 30 years later I still love you Lydia.
This man's voice is just silky! Never gets old. It's just classic.
Awesome voice....so expressive...wonderful song .. Motown rocks...it's timeless..
Yes! You are so right.
Silky smooth... 😊
Lord this takes me back to the good ole days.
Me too
Im so thankful we have this to go back to. There's nothing that can ever compare. We had it an lived it.
One of the sexiest songs ever...I loved roller skating to this song! When this came out, I was 18, almost 19.
Beautiful, remembering then, remembering now. Amazing voice.

To truly appreciate his genius, you have to look at his list of songwriting credits.
This is frikkin awesome - man the sound takes me back
thank you dad for playing this at home when we were growing up
I get in moods where I will just play this on repeat. The mellow tone of this song just never gets old.
guitar man pluck strings sound like bird talkn
0:38...
Pure perfection!! I dare the ladies and gents to NOT melt with each other when listening to this aural dream together...
Music with so much meaning, finesse and expression of feeling. Music that bends the soul in all the right ways.
Thank you Smokey Robinson for this song; a masterpiece!
WOW! THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I EVER SAW! SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE CD!
solomon swane
I was thinking same thing..like wow
@@electriccellist Who's that?
Sad that this is only the record, crying for a live stage performance of this!
I think he was a little hoarse when he recorded the song originally
I once read an interview with Smokey, when he said "I've got an OK voice - I can carry a tune." Hmm - and there I was, thinking he had the voice of an angel! Wonderful song and vocal performance by the great man.
The humbleness in him no wonder the old artists even grew old with their talent they respected the gift from God
Loved you on Daryl's house pretty Kool.
Heard the tail end of this song on my way home from work today. Had to come home and find it on UA-cam. Love Smokey! What a classic!
Doesn't this just melt you?????!!!!
Melt the panties off yr ass !! LORD
This song is sooooo smoooth, it put me in very mellow mood. I put on repeat an just sing and dance along. I love it and remember from years ago lovin it. Back then. Now I am 70 and love you SMOKEY ROBINSON still for all your songs
I hear you girl 😁
He said cruising was made for love so confidently that no one questioned it for 45 years.
A All American and world icon. Listen to this song while on one of those long trips on a winding country rode very late in the evening.👍🙏🏼
This song sounds like its 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989,1999, 2009, 2019.....its time less ! It could have been #1 ever one of those years. Thank you again Smokey for this Masterpiece !
What happened to good music like this? Where did we go wrong? :(
All of these songs takes me back to my service in Vietnam. It seems. I was so young then.
....You are still young in Your heart!!!! .... just the body is wrinkling and going old....Your soul doesn't...... greetz to you from Germany...where AFN brought me my English in the very early 80's..... Love my Muscle MoPar cruising here...
This is a classic. It is also timeless. It sounds like a song the could have been written yesterday. It's not a song of a particular era.
You can't copy Smokey he is an original there's no other like him
Incomparable singer and songwriter. A thrilling performance without peer.
Amazing ! Nothing else to add 😊
this is how real music sounds, not that shouting, rap, and what ever more this days smokey is one of the motown wonders .
Made my day. silky & smoooth.
You got that right!❤️
