FIRST TIME HEARING Smokey Robinson Cruisin' REACTION

[@johngomez4311]

Next Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song should be, Tears of a Clown

[@PROFwritepmg]

Hard to Miss it with a Motown Joint.

[@brandonm9132]

Yes exactly

[@robertmerrill621]

The next Smokey and the Miracles song should be...........All of them!!!

[@victoriadattoli5165]

By far my favorite smokey song

[@ruch5tami]

Oh I love that song!

[@helgar791]

Next should be a young Smokey doing the live, black and white version of "Ooh, Baby, Baby". Smokey, the sweetest voice ever recorded.

[@ClassicalGemini]

Smokey is one of the greatest lyricist in history especially during the “Mo Town Era”...His group The Miracles dominated the charts in the 60’s and 70’s...His music is Timeless!!!!

[@cindyweir9645]

Are you kidding? You never heard Smokey? He’s a Motown legend. Play Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Every song was a hit.

[@popculturista]

This song should be on an endless loop. Smokey is a national treasure and was instrumental in Motown's success. After Berry Gordy, Motown was Smokey Robinson. His voice is so distinctive and his songwriting was some of the best ever. I saw him in concert about 12 years ago and he was still great.

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

Smoky is the definition of Smooth.

[@brettrobinson2901]

You couldn't be more right....but I would've said " smoooooooooooooooothhhh".😁

[@carojack1717]

Smokey had hit after hit , you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you discovering his music

[@cej7519]

Smokey is the man! ABC has a song “When Smokey Sings” that is a tribute to him.

[@bangmon1000]

I agree.

[@popculturista]

I havent thought of that ABC song in ages! It was good.

[@axelbaker8737]

If you liked that, you gotta do “oooo baby baby”

[@heathermclean-smith5893]

Love the joy on your face listening to Smokey! He’s voice is incredible, just takes me to another place!!

[@freddbarragan9635]

You need to talk to your parents & grandparents about this

[@juliesmall3756]

That's how a man gets to be, and stays a legend in the music industry.

[@lorrielongoria2153]

My guess is that since you've started reacted to music you've found one of the immutable laws of the universe; good music is timeless. Artists today produce good music, but we damn well know that your parents and their parents were jammin' to really good music as well. I really enjoy watching you react to music. Thanks for bringing the heat.

[@romulusremus7537]

This is cool to see someone hear Smokey for the first time. You will never be the same now.

[@dillodefense]

Smokey Robinson is an amazing gift to music. Nobody could do this better.

[@patriciadowning4036]

Smokey is SMOOOOOOOOOTH

[@kayzthingz3854]

Always a great song for date nights etc. Can't go wrong with Smokey

[@debbieseymore481]

I love his music. Today's music doesn't even come close.

[@karenpowell6063]

Love me some Smokey Robinson! I’ve seen him live 7 times

[@diannebleacher6156]

Yep…Smokey!!! An absolute icon. So smooth!!

[@michlkwitz]

Why's he singing to your soul? Cuz that's what Smokey does bro.

[@kimt4870]

My all time fav Smokey Robinson song, ahhh yes ! Love “Cruisin”....so smooooth. Thanks so much for doing this reaction.....I always enjoy your videos.

[@melissatopham4018]

Your NEXT Smokey Robinson song should be "Being With You"

[@bangmon1000]

Yes.

[@betsyborchers9320]

I saw him a live few years ago and he was just as smooth as ever!

[@bobbistevens5648]

It's so great watching young people discovering this timeless, wonderful music! Great reaction

[@kentuckysparrow9846]

I was so happy to see you reacting to this song. One of my favorites. You are adorable. I’m sure your Grandma will be very happy to see this too!

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic musical treasure Mr William Smokey Robinson ❤️

[@reshaud81]

You should check out the cover of this by D'Angelo. Smokey Robinson songs to react to: Being With You, Just To See Her, Ebony Eyes ft Rick James, Quiet Storm, and The Tracks of My Tears. Another artist worth checking out is Larry Graham. Some of his songs are: One In A Million, When We Get Married and Just Be My Lady!

[@sheilatanksley5045]

When you look in the dictionary for the definition of "Smooth", Smokey Robinson is there.

[@victoria2050nin]

His voice is a national treasure!

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This man is smooth! His voice is like an angel. 😇

[@robbiem9293]

You need to check out when Smokey was on Live at Daryl’s House. He and Daryl Hall sang an old Hall And Oates song Sara Smile.

[@cici7333]

Yes, that was fantastic!! 💜☮️💜

[@kathrynstafford7099]

I listen to it several times a week. Love Darryl's House and guests.

[@Zebred2001]

Bob Dylan once famously declared that Smokey Robinson was one of his favorite poets!

[@isabelleger2815]

Teena Marie and Rick James-Fire and Desire!!! Also Loving You By Minnie Riperton YOU will Get GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!

[@petapan3362]

Absolutely Fire and Desire.

[@popculturista]

Minnie Ripperon is the mother of SNL's Maya Rudolph.

[@70schild15]

Lord, have mercy! That man has the most unforgettable voice and beautiful blue eyes! Please react to "Tears of a Clown".

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

You’ve got to check out his song “Tears Of A Clown!”

[@poetinmyheart94]

'Tracks Of My Tears' is another banger.

[@blackbutterfly638]

You heard of Smokey Robinson , if you heard of any of the early Motown songs Smokey Robinson wrote most of thoes song, but his name would be listed as Willian Robinson Jr. He is a song writer.

[@bangmon1000]

I didn't know that until I saw "Motown the Musical". I'm glad you brought it up.

[@lavalleecg]

Thanks. Great song choice. Fantastic reaction. Not only does watching reactions like your own bring back the memories of my own song introductions, it reminds me of what should be on my playlist. I was introduced to Smokey by an uncle who was into rock music. He was a fan of other genres and had an incredible vinyl collections. Memories.

[@davidspahr4020]

"The tracks of my tears". This man was one of the kings of soul. Cover more soul! Gotta do the Supremes!!!!!!!

[@gwillis01]

People said when this first came out that this was a very smooth voice. They said he was an impressive crooner.

[@timbaker4864]

SECOND THAT EMOTION

[@charlenewebb5893]

Smokey is smooth good music never get old

[@carthagepatriot2349]

Nice watching u loving Smokey

[@moogie1954]

That is one of the songs, that when it comes on I tell my grandkids (teens) that was one of the best make out songs EVER... And I watch as they digest the fact that grandma actually did things that they don't like to imagine their grandma doing! LOL

[@einaeb5]

I remember hearing this when I was young. My mom played this record. It still gives me goose bumps!

[@laurenpeck3609]

His music makes me happy!!! So smooth!

[@robertpetersen867]

Smokey Robinson is the ONLY Dude that makes me want to throw my drawers at him, and I'm NOT gay!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donnabruhn6907]

With artists like Smokey back on the day romance was alive and well. Loved slow dancing to Smokey❤️😎😘🥰

[@jackiewacky2354]

He is just BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@jdsheleg8332]

I grew up listening to his music. I had no idea what he was singing, but still loved that music!

[@cindyweir9645]

When I was a teenager, I went to my favorite dance club just outside of Detroit and I was shocked when Smokey Robinson and the miracles came on the stage and preceding that Stevie Wonder came on stage with his hit song and he was only 12 years old. This was many years ago Love love love his voice.

[@rvprossjjlrzar]

Silky & oh so smooth Smokey!!!! Gotta love him!

[@decafjnr]

My all time favorite singer!!!!

[@Cheryworld]

1960s soul music. Anyone who brings back 1960s soul music gets a place in heaven

[@colincampbell5967]

great singer and songwriter

[@alfonzohoward185]

I don't care how old you are if you say you listen or like music and you never heard of smokey Robinson it's a problem that means you have not heard real music you been listening to something that sounds like music

[@michaelparmes1032]

Smokey Robinson is a true legend. Not only is he a great singer, he is also a great songwriter. One of his most popular songs, he wrote for the Temptations. That song was My Girl. He became popular with his group The Miracles aka Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Another fun fact, he was once Vice President of Motown Records.

[@normawinton6832]

Slow dancing song! Back in school at a school dance..memories made!

[@vincentcalvelli6452]

Rome, I am so happy you enjoyed Smoky's music which I grew up listening to.

[@matthewgeddes4139]

Tears of a Clown, Tracks of My Tears, and Shop Around. All 10/10 tunes!

[@davemaddox8528]

Love Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

[@barbieg821]

there was a commercial back when I was growing up where a father was yelling to their teenager to turn down the music the teenager's reply "But Dad it's SMOKEY", Love me some Smokey Robinson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@coachmullen1]

First of all, God bless the women in your family who had such great taste in music! As you follow this path, I'm rediscovering forgotten classics and adding them to my personal playlist! Keep this trend going as long as you can and keep exploring beyond as well! As my sister likes to say, your reactions are "the nougat" (aka the good stuff). Thanks!

[@valdannfamr.2430]

🤩 Oh yeah! Smokey is a GOLDEN👑 SUPER TALENT! Writing and producing since The 60's when he was with Motown as Smokey Robinson and Miracles. I am happy to say I have those original vinyl albums of theirs that were my parent's. James, since you love "Cruisin", then you're going to FLIP OUT over his older hits. Smokey has a huge catalog of hits. Just know he also made great music throughout the 70's and beyond. But you have to start with his early 60's hit - ☆"You Really Got A Hold On Me", this one and"Ooo Baby Baby" fr 1965, are so smooth, but were pretty edgy for that time. You shld also react to Smokey's "The Tracks of My Tears", "Baby Baby Don't Cry", "Baby Come Close"- 1973, "The Agony & The Ecstasy", "Quiet Storm", "Baby That's Backatcha"-1975, "Being with You"-1981, "Tell me Tomorrow"-1982

[@susanfrancois2449]

So smooth love him!

[@anthonyrobinson6590]

So many babies were made to this song. 😄

[@pppmanly]

Lovely reaction! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@deborahwarrior7838]

One of the Motown legends !!!!

[@bzeee6537]

50's/60's music is highly underrated. Sinatra, Smokey, Sam Cooke, Bobby Darin, Dion and the Belmonts, Maurice and the Zodiacs.... can't be touched.

[@jackiewacky2354]

THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!

[@Tessiefaye]

Smokey spent many many years with Motown at the very beginning of its inception with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. They had multiple hits. Smokey was often called America's leading poet and has written numerous hits for other groups and people such as Marvin Gaye, Supremes, Temptations just to name a few. Ooh, Baby Baby, Tears of a Clown, Tracks of my Tears, I second that Emotion just to name a very few. His musical history is pages long in Wikipedia, you should check it out.

[@darylebryant6402]

Ultimate feel good music 🎶

[@sgmarich]

Best of all time!

[@jbz2291]

Love your reaction! 😍

[@Biggems9274]

This is a great driving song.....especially along a long stretch of road in the middle of nowhere........This one, Mint Car by the Cure, and Drive by the Cars

[@alicearchuleta6536]

Where do I begin? You're in for some great sounds.

[@gingerb5916]

His sound is soo smooth

[@mj2you22]

Yaaass, there was nothing finer than rollin with your baby with the windows down and Smokey croonin...yaass sir!

[@poetinmyheart94]

Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow, and D'Angelo also did incredible covers of this song. Definitely worth a listen (and comparison!).

[@michaelwiggan7437]

"Quiet Storm" by Smokey Robinson is 100% a Must ...

[@elizabethyow2232]

You're putting me in a mood...check out Marvin Gaye, What's going on...still relevant today unfortunately. Let's get it On.....whooooo! Lou Rawls, you're gonna miss my love, Barry White, Never gonna give you up....

[@jjsteel43]

He's from the 60's and Motown. Great singer and songwiter. Just to see her and Being with you are great songs by him

[@markjohnson4116]

Marvin Gaye, let's get it on. Check him out. Really digging your channel man. I've been watching your videos every since I stumbled across the channel.

[@jackiewacky2354]

He is the BEST !!!!@

[@marysain423]

Smokey Robinson Agony and the Ecstasy 😊

[@willynilly2545]

This song reminds of when I was little and my unlcle Javier would take us cruising around town with him in his lowrider

[@tonicardella1471]

And some Al Green Love & Happiness!

[@davidspahr4020]

There were great soul singers and then there was Smoky.

[@58fcorley]

Smokey's voice is like silk.

[@sandraneal7665]

Smokey robinson baby come close
