I read that Smokey wrote this song for his wife when she miscarried a set of twins in the sixties wnd she was trying to blame herself and she felt that she let him down.So he wrote this song especially for her that he was dedicated to her no matter what! That's why it's probably the best written song of all time! Very inspirational!
One of the most gifted poets and songwriters that has ever lived. Musically he and Stevie wonder are geniuses that tell the story of a golden generation of black culture
More Love has to be the most romantic, beautiful songs of love ever written. I mean there is nothing close to the lyrics, melody and feelings this song brings out without using any cuss words or using the 'b" word. More Love is how you tell your lady how much you really love her without any profanity or X rated bullshit. In my opinion More Love is absolutely the best love, romantic, expression of LOVE and telling your lady that she is special to you ever to be written anywhere at anytime. A masterpiece of feelings, caring, love, attention and togetherness. The LOVE truth can't be denied. The greatest love song ever written hands down. None even come close.
So true, man - so very true. And when you read Robinson's autobiography and learn the inspiration behind the lyrics...wow. Claudette had suffered multiple miscarriages and felt she wasn't woman enough for Smokey and after trying to console her he went to a piano and began banging out the words and melody. I think it's the greatest love song ever written.
the beauty of the song is that it's not limited to a man expressing love to a lady. it could work lady to man as well. also lady to lady and man to man etc.♥️
It's hard to pick one song to declare the best but to my ears no one has ever said it better. This song captures all the feelings a man in love needs to say to his woman. Well said Smokey. Well said.
"...More love, and more joy than age or time could ever destroy. My love is so sound, it'll take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down..." (And THAT'S why Wm. "Smokey" Robinson is considered one of the greatest of songwriters)
This is one of THE greatest love songs of ALL-TIME. ---------why ?? -------Only W.F. Robinson wrote like this : lyrical -------poetic-----intelligent------it actually SAYS SOMETHING--------with his gorgeous voice , & Bobby / Pete , & Ronnie , with Claudette ---------how could it be anything less than a MASTERPIECE ???? ----------------Summer of '67, WolfSky9, 72 y/o
When I purchased this 45, I must have played it 500 times, at least; I STILL have that 45, & it's a treasure. --------------I was 20 y/o, heading to 21, & all of life, was ahead. ------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Man, this is awesome. My absolute favorite Motown song of all time. Smokey Robinson...has there EVER been a better songwriter than he? "A heart that's truthful and keeping it youthful with MORE LOVE." Man! So romantic. And the backstory to this song is so sweet: After wife Claudette suffered another miscarriage and commiserated about her inability to provide Smokey with children (and by extension, her inadequacy as a woman), Smokey took to the piano and composed a song to let her know his love wasn't gonna be toppled by some medical misfortune. Geez, man - do men and women no longer inspire one another like that anymore?
One of the very best, one of my favorite songs from Smokey!!! I fell in love with track at fourteen, its been fifty years, I dig this love song more today in 2022 than ever before!!!!!! I have a renewed love for this track, now that I know the true meaning/special love/relationship, Smokey/Claudette had during those years!!!!!!
I actually positively love this song!!! I liked it when I was a teenager listening to my radio in my room years ago. I love it even more now!!! When you read the words (lyrics) to this song, it really blows you away to like it even more. It, along with "Baby, Baby, Don't Cry", is so relevant for a rekindled celebrity love affair going on right now in the Spring and Summer of 2021!!! I just am blown away how the lyrics are so perfect for their story. Smokey is a one of a kind that can't be duplicated!!!
These extended versions are just tremendous!! Especially for those of us who lived these songs when they were being released. Great job, thanks man. Super memories related to the songs of this generation of artists, true talents.
This song came out in my Senior Year in high school and sounds just as GREAT as "Back in the Day".......what an Emotional Love Song........ listen to those words ...........WOW !!!!
Bob Dylan called "Smokey Robinson a "Great poet." Now THAT'S great praise coming from Dylan one of America's greatest poets....living or dead! "Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid. There's some sad things known to man, but aint too much sadder than the tears of a clown, when there's no one around." "Gonna give you more love more joy than any lifetime could ever destroy. My love can be so sound, it'll take about a hundred lifetimes to wear it down to tear it down." _Wm. "Smokey" Robinson
Classic from classic group. Fortunate to live in Detroit during this period. Saw Motown Revue Christmas Day 1964 at Fox Theatre. If I could turn back time to the three shows I saw that day.
These jams take me back to my late teens. I especially love the sound when he had Claudine singing with them, her female voice colored their sound classicly! Major Props on this remix version.
VERY well done extended rendition of one of my favorite Smokey Robinson drops! I always thought this track was much too short and the way you arranged it is genius! Excellent & many thanks!
This backing track was recorded in 1967 in Los Angeles, with local session musicians. The vocals were later added in Detroit. This was one of only a few Motown hits from the 60's that were recorded in L.A. without the Funk Brothers.
@@mosogotam Now you may not can bring back some of these artist, but you can just bring back some their music just to keep their memories alive. I love that.
Sir, My heartfelt thanks for doing this ! -------Summer of '67, in Denver, KDKO, Soul Radio , with Dr Daddy-O. --------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
OMG what is there to say? There's an element in this song that just touches me in a hard to explain way. The production is masterclass and a bit of a different feel than other records.....what made Motown genius was that the Funk Bros created the songs around the persona of the artist(s)....each act had their own Superb track identity....sorry to rant but i am a Motown Freak....boy was music great during my birth time,just genius.....thank you mosogotam.
I just can’t stop listening to this song! Best song ever! Written in sincere love at the time I believe. My number one favorite song of all time 5:23 forever! So beautiful! More love! ❤❤❤
Been playing this video/song to death.........posted and shared it on Facebook..Google Plus...Twitter..LinkedIn......everywhere..I'm really intrigued with this extended version...in one word ..."Impeccable"....._Thank You So Much...for creating it.....you brought probably my favorite love song from 1967\68....."To Life"......
Been playin this along with What Does It Take by Jr Walker, and Everybody Is A Star by Sly at least 4 to 5 times a day for the last couple of months. How much my old ass but young heart yearns for days as these.
50 years ago yesterday ( July 7th) this was recorded. I was 11 years old. Just seems impossible its been that long as it sounds just as fresh 50 years later.
Beautiful song one of the best groups of all time❤

@@mrsandmrhankerson4797 It's the lyrics..SO PROFOUND!
I read that also, the b-side swept for you is great also, and was a regional hit in the south
One of the most gifted poets and songwriters that has ever lived. Musically he and Stevie wonder are geniuses that tell the story of a golden generation of black culture
I have played this THOUSANDS of times over decades! In my top 3 songs of all time!

@@jb5041 22²2
Without Bill Smokey Robinson there would be no Motown. The coolest from the heart lyricist ever! PWG
This is one of my favorites by Smokey and the Miracles...and the Funk Brothers sound is very prominent in this cut. NGO...Never Gets Old.
Mine too luv this group❤
He was gorgeous and truly talented.
Nov. 2024 Loving this song, a great time out from the hate in the world
One of the most underrated songs... so unfair!

ORAN!!!!,......Shame,.....you wrote ("bu...hit"),......Now you gotta' get a retraction.,....Just kiddin',I'm with you 100%

Agree!!
Yet here you are on here being captain obvious and swearing like an idiot.
the beauty of the song is that it's not limited to a man expressing love to a lady. it could work lady to man as well. also lady to lady and man to man etc.♥️
Thank you Smokey and all the Motown Folks ! It's a Masterpiece and brings love back into this Mad world of today !
Yes I agree💯
It's hard to pick one song to declare the best but to my ears no one has ever said it better. This song captures all the feelings a man in love needs to say to his woman. Well said Smokey. Well said.
THE LEGENDARY SMOKEY ROBINSON...I'VE HEARD THIS MAN'S VOICE ALL MY LIFE. I APPRECIATE THAT.
Fawn, you have given me a good reason to begin unpacking these boxes of Albums. I thought I read that there was a Harp!! Oh, well.

This guy is 50 years too late sadly,could have gave Smokey Robinson a run for his money,his house so unique 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Man they don't make classy music like this. A beautiful song. Put on your headphones and take a trip. You won't want to come back.
