[@kazitude1]

Life WAS better then!! I'm in my 60's and I am witness to that!!!

[@ThePasterio]

It wasn't that good. Backbthen, you would have to be white or know someone to work in for the post office. Now anyone can. Jobs are just more plentiful now for black folk. You don't have to go to college if your capable of being taught. I'm 61. I even make $70,000 -?. Never Been to college

[@ralphsanchico2452]

I'm right with you at 66' still fresh in my mind!

[@arethawhite3712]

The growl is my favorite part of this song 🎶💖👍😃!!!!

[@hugohackenbush3524]

I was 15 when this terrific record came out and the first time that I heard it in my local record shop I was instantly up to the counter. Damn but it is such a great song. Everything about this tune just simply oozes class. To be honest, there are not enough superlatives to describe just how perfect this song is. So all I can say to everybody who loves real music is keeping grooving baby! 🐈🐾🐾

[@HelenTudor-Douglas]

Hearing the song playing in the hallway of my High School, during 1975. Man O Man, what a Great Life we all had, dancing to this in the hallway of school! Song about a guy getting electricity just from sitting next to a girl! Yeah, this is Waaaayyy before internet pornography. Males were so much happier back then!

[@luciaharbour5488]

[@ralphsanchico2452]

Always loved this song. Brings back great memories 😃

[@thomasrusso8393]

Me too get so many exciting yet happy memories :)

[@theholladay]

Even if you couldn't dance! Cholly made you look like you could. He was that talented R.I.P!

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

Cholly Atkins is amazing!!!

[@willsunflower1]

As of July 15th William (Billy) Griffin has not passed away. And I agree, he is amazing.

[@petrslivinski7481]

Enjoy this song in 1975 when it first came out. The Miracles minus Smokey Robinson continued to thrive and produce hit after hit! Thanks for sharing this with the KZbin community.

[@VILJL]

Warren "Pete" Moore, an original member of the first Motown group, The Miracles, died yesterday (November 19, 2017) on his 78th birthday. Moore formed the Miracles with childhood friend Smokey Robinson. Once the group was signed by Motown as its first major act, Moore and Robinson began actively writing songs together, and they became a force, penning hits for their own group, such as “Ooh Baby Baby,” as well as for other groups like The Tempations (“Since I Lost My Baby”) and Marvin Gaye (“I’ll Be Doggone”). Once Robinson left the group, Moore soldiered on with new lead singer Billy Griffin, co-writing the #1 hit “Love Machine” and producing much of the group’s 70s hits.

VILJL r.i.p.Pete Moore.

[@Tiffonique]

VILJL...thank you for the mentioning my father's passing.....it was a misprint about his age, he was actually 79 years old. He was the love of my life!!!.....millions of blessings to you.....

[@KetaMars]

🙅I was born in the wrong year! Damn Billy Griffin fine as hell!😍

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

Girl I was thinking the same thing! Lord... :)

[@VILJL]

"Love Machine" is a 1975 single recorded by Motown group The Miracles, taken from their album City of Angels. The song was a #1 Pop smash on the Billboard Hot 100, and the biggest-selling hit single of The Miracles' career. This single was one of two Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 hits recorded by The Miracles with Billy Griffin as lead vocalist; the other is 1973's "Do It Baby". Griffin had replaced Miracles founder Smokey Robinson as lead singer in 1972. The song features a growling vocal by Miracle Bobby Rogers, with group baritone Ronnie White repeating "yeah, baby" throughout the song.

[@theholladay]

R.I.P Cholly Atkins:-(( Thank you for the smooth, swagger out, playa steps.

Beautiful I love this song

[@blktenor]

I like the verses.

[@falanajerido6939]

I didn't know it was the miracle who song this I use too sing this with my group

[@theholladay]

KZbin some Ojays, some Temptations and see the similarities in routines. He was the man an Cholly was smooth.

[@Unknown-bq9id]

I'm wondering if Smokey, listening to this song, thought "I think I made a big mistake leaving the Miracles." (Especially given that this was The Miracles' biggest hit--bigger than Tears of a Clown) OTOH, given his solo success, probably not...

[@vickywilliams9444]

Pure music genius ❤️

[@theholladay]

The miracles, the Ojays, The Temptations, The Spinners, Gladys Knight And The Pips, all that choreography you saw was Cholly Atkins.

[@williamg2552]

Also, The Cadillacs, Little Anthony & The Imperials,and Motown groups: The Contours, The Marvelettes, The Vandellas, The Supremes and The Four Tops (for a while, before they quit Motown's Choreography classes) .

[@tommy8715]

What a come back for the Miracles Smoky Robinson couldn't have written or sung it any better than Billy Williams just to give credit where credit is due.....

[@rdavid488]

That's Griffin, not "Williams"

[@tommy8715]

Under this fantastic unit, the third of the original Miracles of guys dances way better than the tight moves under Smokey.

[@theholladay]

There will never be another you.

[@theholladay]

Listen to the song Do It by them

[@ceased2care]

Just watched it. I double dare the world to do this sweet stuff again, all brand new creations and without any irony. Damn, I miss it

[@theholladay]

His name is Billy Griffin and replaced Smokey when he left the group. But if you ask me... He was better than Smokey because he was a true falsetto. Listen to "Do It!"

[@larvt]

theholladay I agree. I used to say that back in the 70’s

[@mufnpuffflora5719]

Love his voice

[@loydkline]

❤️ this 1970s music greatest music era ever & ♥️ this song
