    It just doesn't get a whole lot better. Yeah, Smokey I think is in that upper echelon of singers, and then you've got the songwriting...classic. This song was released just shortly before I was born, whoa. Thank you, thank you.

    When I was a little kid I'd frequently put a canteen and my little transistor radio (when I could afford a 9V battery) in a backpack jump on my one speed bike with banana seat, sissy bar, heavy thorn resistant knobby rear tire and rear brake only (typical bike for youngsters those days) then ride miles through the hills with my wonderful dog running alongside. There were some spots to stop with a view where I'd sit and listen to music of the day on that tinny little radio. I don't think Bandita, my dog, cared much about the music but she sure loved being up in the hills with me...and chasing rabbits 😊. Simple, good times. Wonderful old songs like this bring those memories right back. Thanks!

    Yea you're right BJ, Smokey was basically Berry Gordie's partner in Motown records. In the beginning he wrote many of the Motown hits for everybody, played piano, drums, and sang like an angel. He still does!!! Love ya, PJ

    Have youever heard of Sha Na Na? They were a group of singers, dancers and musicians who sang doo-wop music from the 50s and 60s. They had a weekly TV show with comedy dsketches and guest singers, but they were fully-capable of doing their own catchy versions of older songs, and they even performed at Woodstock. I was reminded of them because I remember them singing 'Shop Around' on their show. 'Get A Job' was their signature song.

    Back in the day, Mowtown was a powerhouse of talent! Smokey Robinson was a writer for many of Mowtown's hits. Know where the "Mowtown" name came from? Mowtown was in Detroit , Michigan, car manufacturing center of America. A major portion of the population in the city, and especially the car factories, African American. "Motown", short for Motor City.

    Being from Detroit Motown is in my blood, I seen Smokey when I was 7 and I've been super into Motown ever since, you should react to "tracks of my tears" or "cruisin" by Smokey Robinson! Those two songs are my favorite of his!

    The songs of Motown have been with me all my life. In 1966 I came to the big city (called Mannheim (near Heidelberg / Germany) and was invited by a fellow apprentice to an American club "Fashonable" - I was barely 16 years old, musically absolutely unspoiled, and I fell in love - from the moment I saw it - with Black Music. My first song was "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye - the song was and still is my favourite Tamla Motown song. I know almost all the artists from the older Motown era; now I'm 70 years old and I'm still not tired of listening to these songs.

    I'm in Michigan and Smokey was the man! Beatles covered his You Really Got a Hold on Me. they had a strong affection for Motown artists even before they met any. That's why when they first reached America it seemed that many African American kids liked the Beatles...like "hey, their doing our music too...these guys from Liverpool are okay." the Marvelettes, Smokey, Berry Gordy's song Money, Chuck Berry songs, Larry Williams...Little Richard...in Jacksonville FL in 1964 the Beatles refused to play to a segregated audience, and the powers that be finally buckled and white and black kids were allowed to sit wherever. that speaks volumes about the Beatles power of music and bringing everyone together.

Motown always had that hook, it was the music and the lyrics that everyone can relate to. I am old enough to be your grandmother, so please that this with kindness that is intended, I think Asia is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen. I would love to hear more Smokey Robinson.

    Great reaction to a legendary group! I got to see them in the 60's when I was in high school. It was a small venue for teens and it was packed. They had to go through the crowd from the dressing room to the stage. It was a fantastic show and the girls went crazy. After they performed they had to go back through the crowd to the dressing room and some girl grabbed the smallest guy of the group, Ronnie White. He shoved her away and one of the bouncers picked him up and carried to the room. It was crazy! Saw Smokey in concert recently and the ladies still love him. And his voice is still great!

    This was the Song that made Motown a Successful Label. Although Money was released by Barrett Strong this was The Breakthrough song. It went to Number #1 on The R & B Charts & #2 on The Pop Charts. The Show they are on is called Teen Town which was in Detroit which was similar to American Bandstand. Smokey has Written The Songs that have been part of our lives. Ooh Baby Baby, Tracks Of My Tears, Mickey's Monkey. He also wrote For The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Marvelettes as well. His Songs have been Covered by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kim Carnes, The Jackson Five, En Vogue, and even now he gets paid when his Songs are featured in Commercials. "Who's Loving You" is now the most popular Audition Song in The UK on The X Factor.
