[@mrantdagreat]

I’m telling y’all, you gotta get deeper into Smokey’s catalog. One of the great singers, songwriters and producers of all time. From “Quiet Storm”, to “Let Me Be The Clock, Being With You and many more, just absolute classics💯.

[@MiracleFound]

Absolutely!

[@LMmccallL57]

They're missing a lot by not diving into the Quiet Storm songs, too. 😕The songs on the radio back then... Teddy Pendergrass is waiting.

[@atirro]

I almost forgot about Let Me Be The Clock. My Mom used to play it and my 12 year old self used to try to match his notes. I loved Vitamin U...I would sing that song at the top of my lungs.😂 Smokey's song writing skills are second to none!

[@mrantdagreat]

@@atirro Haha! Yeah he wrote some all time classics, for himself and other artists. My favorite (but not his best) is Tell Me Tomorrow. Such a jam! 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@juliestogner2542]

Real talk. Smokey is a national treasure for sure.

[@andymageen5308]

Smokey Robinson IS the pure essence of Motown. I have been privileged to visit Studio A in Detroit and the music that came out of that small room influenced the entire planet. ✌️

[@johnvillanova9984]

I was so stunned how small the recording studio was at Hitsville myself..incredible!

[@gailsmythe8476]

funk brothers....../.....

[@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx]

Smokey had a looong career in music...performing AND writing! He's had hits with the Miracles (of course), the Temptations, Marvin Gaye and the list goes on forever! He was a very important part of the Motown rise as a musical powerhouse! The women especially loved him from the early 60's and even now! The man was a phenom! As far as I know, he still comes out and do concerts.

[@pattyduke3079]

He still does concerts and he's still sexy at 82!

[@charlenezack37]

From Detroit was Blessed many times to see the Miracels, with THE FIRST LADY OF MOWTOWN Claudette Robinson.

[@dianenc]

"Had" a long career?? He's never stopped performing and even releases new music. (Not that he needs to do either, lol.)

[@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx]

[@ladygoodday]

My sister, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 58, was a HUGE Smokey fan! His music reminds me of her and always brings me to tears and makes me smile at the same time❤

[@RabbiSteve]

Thanks for sharing that. Condolences and comfort for your loss. May your sister always rest in Shalom and may her memory always bless you.

[@joelmartin-zi7ti]

Hey brother, I’m sorry for your loss 💜 I myself have four older sisters 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ ranging from 70 to 62. I’m the baby of the family and the only boy 🥴 and I happen to be 58 at the moment 😆 and yes, me and all my sisters were huge Smokey fans as well 🫶👏✌️

[@jshizzle6866]

It’s my father for me. He was actually my first concert. He performed at our State Fair, and my dad always made sure we made to his concerts.

[@ktrsBklyn]

So happy when you’re driving somewhere in no hurry on a summer day and THIS comes on the radio! Perfection!

[@leahlister6474]

Such a summer vibe!

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

This and "Just My Imagination" I just feel it.

[@Impromac]

This song has been covered by so many artists, it's insane. This song and Tears of A Clown, and OOoo Baby Baby are the ones to play next. He did one song with Rick James called Ebony Eyes as well.

[@kmorse6487]

Ebony Eyes titled song sang by Bob Welch, same song perhaps?

[@tbone2071]

Best cover is by D'Angelo, in my opinion

[@1177kc]

I like the cover by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. They did it for the movie Duets with Andre Braugher who is also a good singer.

[@kellyp136]

​@@1177kc I'm not a Paltrow fan but I definitely have that cover in my music library.

[@almaonyx933]

I didn't know that he worked with Rick James! And, it's another great song.

[@cmonman3639]

Smokey Robinson is wildly underrated even with all of his fame and fortune. The guy is an absolute genius.

[@RabbiSteve]

Agreed

[@Paladin70]

Smokey just performed on American Idol this past Sunday evening. Amazingly, now at 83 years old, he still has this smooth, silky voice and moves around the stage with ease. On top of that, he premiered his NEW song, still putting out quality material in his 80s, incredible!!!

[@Asian_Jeremy]

Love this song by Smokey! Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow sang this song in the 2000 movie Duets which is pretty good.

[@deborahcook5676]

Love that movie

[@RoGueNavy]

I wondered if anybody else would remember that.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Everyone did a good job with the singing in that movie. I have heard Andre didn't really sing, but his Free Bird was awesome.

[@foltzenlogel]

D'Angelo also does a tremendous job on this song

[@luckyskittles5007]

Absolutely

[@Dollywood623]

This song by Smokey and his “Being With You”(1981) are my favorite songs by him. You can never go wrong with any of his songs.🔥

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Probably one of my favorites from him as a soloist.

[@shanenolan5625]

[@brianherrington7226]

Smokey is so pure and smooth in his delivery that it can move you tears. This was one of his last big chart toppers from 1979. He and Frankie Vallee are the falsetto kings of vinyl.

[@Kevonutube303]

Smokey Robinson. "Motown Royalty." Singer, songwriter, performer! Just saw him perform live, last night, on American Idol.... @ 83 yrs old 👏👏👏

[@surlechapeau]

J & Amber, you need to hear Smokey Robinson & The Miracles ""You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and 'I Second That Emotion"!!!!

[@jordancrosno9711]

“We Feel the Same” too!

[@pvank1799]

The Bearles loved Smokey and covered You've Really Got A Hold on Me.

[@bertisjordan1085]

Smokey simply IS soul music and one of the greatest songwriters of our time!

[@carollandrum9223]

People in the music industry today only wish they could come up with as good as this. I'm so glad I grew up when I did!

[@renaissancepoet]

Smokey has the sweetest voice.

[@themajicman745]

You can't do the Smoke without doing his top baby-making classic "Oh Baby Baby" and his song that helped bring my daughter into the world "Baby Come Close"

[@Noelle0026]

That song is 🔥 especially the 1964 live version of it

[@RobertoSantana61]

Who remembers Neil Sedaka? A lot of great hits to choose from. Love Smokey Robinson BTW.

[@glennk1931]

Beautiful song. Smoky wrote some of the best music. That wonderful Motown sound.

[@stevenblock9712]

This song is from 1979. For a "history lesson", you should hear his very early hit, "Shop Around" that was at the start of his career and Motown's success in 1960-1 when he was 20. In those early years, he wrote classic hits for himself and other Motown artists and became Berry Gordy's "right-hand man". The two are still best friends who appear on special shows together to share stories about Motown.

[@clare1061]

OMGOODNESS I love some Smokey he is the definition of SMOOTH.

[@brianhillard5570]

Geez I love the way you two beautiful people people react to these classic songs, being a 50s kid you cannot beat this music

[@DrStephanieMillerWilliams]

He wrote damn near everything at Motown for all the artists…. Majority of the songs.😂

[@bigolebot]

Motown... Us baby boomers were lucky for that era, we were raised on that era, it defined us. Edit: GenX, stop putting words into my mouth, I said what I said and no, relying on your parents for their record collection or their radio isn't the same experience. Especially Motown at it's peak from 1964-1973... Sorry if it upsets you you had to be there, simple as that.

[@philiphughes9556]

Some of this motown music is responsible for the generation after us boomers!

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

I thought I knew music until I started digging into my mom's record collection in my teens. All that Motown and Soul blew my mind. I haven't been the same since. Now I'd rather hear her era than my own.

[@cliftonparago4547]

We had everybody from Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5 to The Commodores and Temptations,👍etc.

[@nunyalastname-ej8vl]

Love motown damn good music. It makes you feel good😊

[@Verlopil]

Such a timeless song. Smokey is truly one of the greats.

[@lesscarmel5527]

I did not know what the word sexy meant when I first heard this song on the radio back in the day as a 10 year old, but I knew Smokey’s voice did something to me at a base level. Still a defining song for me in every way-Smokey is a sexy man.

[@helgar791]

This song and Smokey doing "Ooh Baby Baby" are perhaps his most romantic songs. Watch a very young Smokey doing the live , black and white version of "Baby" from around 1966 so you can see him in performance and how magnetic he was. Smokey Robinson the prettiest voiced crooner of all time.

[@themajicman745]

Go check out his song "Baby Come Close"

[@wpl8275]

I was reading about Smokey's background and he's like a walking UN. "Robinson's ancestry is also part Nigerian, Scandinavian, Portuguese, and Cherokee." This is besides being part French on his mother's side. He got the name Smokey from his favorite uncle because he loved going to cowboy movies as a kid and his uncle used to call him Smokey Joe. It later got shortened to Smokey. Smokey was one of Motown's top songwriters, writing not only his own hits but also big hits for other artists. He wrote top hits like: My Guy, The Way You Do The Things You Do, My Girl, I'll Be Doggone and Aint That Peculiar. This was his first time meeting Berry Gordy: "In August 1957, Robinson and the Miracles met songwriter Berry Gordy after a failed audition for Brunswick Records. At that time during the audition, Robinson had brought along with him a "Big 10" notebook with 100 songs he wrote while in high school. Gordy was impressed with Robinson's vocals and even more impressed with Robinson's ambitious songwriting."

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Did you know that Berry Gordy and Jimmy Carter are cousins?

[@elchicano65]

When this song came on the radio no one talked but just gazed into each other's eyes and gently touched each other. This generation has no idea what being innocent and anticipation really means. What a loss, 'nuf said...

[@jen043066]

Smokey has the best voice and eyes!

[@canonfodder2068]

Grew up listening to Smokey. My favorite seldom heard is " You can depend on me. "

[@kimcutts6153]

Now this is what I'm talkin bout. Motown, my era. I feel so lucky to be growing up with this kinda music. Smokey's voice is just gorgeous 😍 As soon as he starts singing, you instantly know its him. 🎼🎶❤

[@luciemurphree1597]

Smokey is absolutely the most smoothest MOFO ever! He could sing the dictionary and it would sound "Chill"! I was lucky enough to take my parents see Smokey before my dad passed away. It was a memory I will treasure forever!

[@charlesdean3544]

Check out two of Smokey's greatest songs: Tears of a Clown and Second That Emotion. Motown artists were GREAT!

[@deeanna3335]

Totally agree!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

My favorite Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song was "More Love." But his biggest hit was "Tears of A Clown."

[@bettypogue7021]

I love this song so much. Me and my husband have cruised together for 42 years and I would not change anything. I was 16 and he was 18 when we got married everyone said we didn't know what we were getting into but they were all wrong

[@poppletop8331]

I know what you mean, I've been with my husband 35yrs. Since age 17 & 19...Something in that Motown music.😉

[@meliosorio105]

I got to see him perform live some years ago. Just him and the band. So engaging, the eye contact is everything.

[@michaelaustin9705]

Jay and Amber - wonderful reaction and Amber is right about playing this on a bad day :) Not many artists are as smooth as Smokey. One interesting tidbit is the group "ABC" (who you recently reacted to) had a top 10 hit "When Smokey Sings" as a tribute to Smokey Robinson. Ironically, Smokey himself also had a top 10 hit "One Heartbeat" at the same time.

[@susanworkman529]

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: "Tears of a Clown", "I Second That Emotion",.....are 2 of the songs you should listen to. Smokey is responsible for getting the Supremes on the Motown label. Read his bio. sometime to see all that he's accomplished. You really need to delve into Smokey's music more as well as all of the Motown groups. Some of the best music of the 60's and 70's came out of Motown.

[@tyronejohnson8932]

Smokey Robinson the hit maker for Motown still enjoying life 83 yrs old! I put his voice up there with all the greats and his brilliance.

[@lynnevetter]

Such a good song. There is a movie called duets. It has Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis singing this. I looove that version too.

[@Shrykespeare]

First comment! Great song! Check out "Being With You", "Ebony Eyes" (with Rick James!), and "Pops, We Love You" (which he did with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Marvin Gaye)!

[@jordancrosno9711]

Quiet Storm song and album too!

[@TheBlackWriter]

I saw Smokey Robinson perform in Atlantic City, a dinner theater type show. He sang his hits with the Miracles, his solo hits, and hits he wrote for other artists. For most of the songs he would explain how he came to write it before singing it. At over three hours in I had to leave because my date had to use the bathroom and the rules were if you left the hotel ballroom you couldn't return. That was over a decade ago. For all I know Smokey might still be there singing.

[@jerrytaylor8889]

Taking nothing away from the great Smokey Robinson, but there's a good cover of this song with absolutely amazing harmonizing by the real singer between the two who did it. Huey Lewis & Gwynneth Paltrow starred in & did that cover of Cruisin' for the 2000 movie 'Duets' - put it back on the charts again! In fact, Huey Lewis & the News went back and recorded an entire album of oldies from the 50s & 60s; worth checking out.

I love Smokey Robinson! He was one of parents' favorite singers. Motown was my parents' music period when they were growing up. That's how I came to love him. My parents played his music in the tape deck of our family car in the 70's when I was small. I was listening to Smokey at 4 years old before my little brother was born. I'm 49 now. Other Smokey Robinson and The Miracles songs: 1. I Second That Emotion 2. Tears of a Clown 3. You've Really Got A Hold On Me 4. Mickey's Monkey 5. Oh Baby Baby Smokey as a solo artist: 1. One Heartbeat 2. Just To See Her

[@johnnicolazzo4146]

Not just soul music, but music for your soul Smokey Robinson’s talent is out of this world

[@Musicvegan01]

Smokey released a song (& album) called "Quiet Storm" in 1975. An entire radio program was named after the song, which generally plays R&B ballads/slow jams. Some radio stations still have a Quiet Storm show today. A year or 2 ago, Smokey released a duet with Charlie Wilson (Gap Band) called "All Of My Love".I don't know if he still has the company, but Smokey had some frozen creole dinners in stores years ago. Patti LaBelle, Bobby Brown, & the late Linda McCartney have food products too. Check out these tribute songs: George Harrison - Pure Smokey / ABC - When Smokey Sings

[@Fairygrl_TW]

One of the most romantic voices. He is def his name, Smokey. Beautiful song, makes u want to slow dance or snuggle with ur sweetie. Thanx so much, stay groovy, Peace

[@bofusnco]

You can't beat Smokey... but you guys love Huey Lewis too, he did a version of this song in the movie Duet. He does a "duet" of this song with Gwyneth Paltrol. You might want to check out the movie too

[@mdanam]

This song came out much later in his career. I was already a huge Motown fanatic, when I heard this on the radio I went out and bought the single that same day. If honey could sing it would sound like Smokey Robinson. There's a great single called "when Smokey sings" that you guys should definitely check out see how his musical peers think of him

[@popculturista]

Without looking it up, I believe the band ABC did the song "When Smokey Sings." I wouldn't call them his peers because of the decades between them as well as the fact that Smokey Robinson has few peers at all. One of the best songwriters of all time. In fact, Bob Dylan famously called Smokey Robinson "America's greatest living poet." The highest praise!

[@ST-dy2uz]

Love love this song!❤

[@daleofficer1709]

There’s yacht rock, but I would argue there’s also yacht soul, of which this is the prime example. Soooooooo good! You can never go wrong with Smokey. Another awesome solo hit of his you should check out is “Being With You”. But like I said, it’s impossible to go wrong with anything Smokey! ❤

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This song is smooth and was released in 1979! Smokey Robinson is a legend who still performs! Since his days at Motown where he performed with the Miracles and wrote so many songs for them and other artists at Motown! He is a musical icon!❤❤

[@richardpedrazine731]

This song is such an easy listening tune cruising, chilling such a sensuous voice

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Some industry trivia for you.... The song, "Who's Lovin' You", made famous by Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 in 1969, was originally recorded by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles in 1961. Smokey was initially hesitant to have the then 11 year old Michael singing his song, which was a very adult song. But as soon as he heard Michael singing it with such passion and skill like he was a grown man, he was immediately impressed and was all for the Jackson 5 re-recording his song. By the way, you guys might want to react to Who's Lovin' You by the Jackson 5, amazing song, and cover. When you hear it it reminds you of just how superbad Michael was when he was just a lil' boy. Additionally, a bar from Who's Lovin' You was sung in the beginning of the En Vogue video for their song, "Hold On" (1990), by group member, Terry Ellis. Classic.

[@stevehamilton8824]

One of the smoothest, angelic voices ever. I feel like I am in a dream when I listen to this song, floating along on billowy clouds in the sun with blue skies above. So good!

[@americangirl6029]

This reminds me of my old neighborhood, growing up. Summer days on school vacay, playing with your friends. This song wafting in the air in the distance from someone’s car stereo on Summer evenings. Good times, for sure. Miss those days SO much! Years later, I got a chance to meet him and get his autograph. I can tell you, he is as smooth in person as he is on wax. ❤️

[@TracyfromNC]

Love this, so smooth,always on my playlist!

[@Eric4471066]

This song was Smokey Robinson's first Top 10 r&b crossover hit of the 1980s. The song did peaked at the #4 spot on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Soul charts in the early winter of 1980. Some people considered this song a "quiet storm" song of the 1980s as well. A beautiful song indeed!!!

[@TedC5203]

Can't go wrong with Smokey. One of a kind. One of the original Motown artist. He helped get the Temptations going. He and one of his Miracles Ronald White, wrote the Temps hit, "My Girl".

[@kimking6036]

I hear this song his voice and it's summer time. Laying out with baby oil in the sun. And having to get up and dance. Great memories he brings back ☮️

[@zerores2005]

Smokey was the Chief songwriter and producer at Motown. Back in 2000, I was cruising through Temecula, Californa and Smokey was the DJ. Dude was answering phones and rapping like a regular dude on the streets. Very down to earth.

This is one of those timeless songs. This will always stand the test of time. The singer D'Angelo did a cover of this song, which was pretty hot, on his 1995 debut album, Brown Sugar. You guys might want to check out that cover one day. 😊

There song “Let Me Be Your Clock” and “Another Fork in the Road” are also great underrated songs by Smokey/Miracles. Let Me Be Your Clock is one of those songs that they used different words to equate to sex to get by the censors but it sounds so sweet because of their word choices. He says in the song, “let me be the pendulum that strikes your chime for the first time.” I like it because it’s not vulgar lyrics and usually Smokey/Miracles are talking about a lifetime love with one woman and not a one night wam bam thank you mam stand even when the lyrics are definitely sexual. ❤

Smokey had the best voice out of Motown, in my opinion. Every song is so good with that voice. I lived 50 miles north of Detroit, Motown was huge in the 60’s & 70’s till it was over, unfortunately. Thank you for playing Smokey, hope to hear more!👍👏👏 💙💖xoxoxo

I was so lucky to see Smokey Robinson play live just last year. He’s still got it!
