SMOKEY OOH BABY BABY ACAPELLA.wmv

The voice, now stripped of music... Sublimely beautiful

[@valvacious2793]

Smokey's voice was the Miracle...so pure, so vibrant, so angelic.....

[@rochellebrydie302]

You Better Say That!

[@fncz]

The harmony is excellent as well.

[@tamaralinekar2904]

Today 2024 still listening whos here ❤❤❤❤

[@lindadee2053]

There's no doubt that Smokey can sing, but the Miracles' background harmonies are exceptional on this track. Just fabulous feelings.

[@PharaohLawLess1]

for real!

[@howardellis3168]

Linda Dee no question

[@williamg2552]

EXACTLY. People need to give credit to ALL of the MIRACLES....NOT JUST ONE PERSON . This is the same one-sided garbage that got SMOKEY inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame BY HIMSELF back in 1987, while the other original Miracles were LEFT OUT !!! an error that took some *26 YEARS* to finally CORRECT !! Smokey's greatest recordings were as a member of THE MIRACLES...not solo ...including THIS ONE !!

[@imbees2]

Exactly. The Miracles were the bomb. The Miracles were the group, smokey was up front, but it was the GROUP that made smokey famous. I was there, I saw it in person. The Miracles.

[@williamg2552]

This is *THE MIRACLES* singing here. *ALL* of them...not just SMOKEY. Their layered harmonies here are SUPERB !! Best vocal group EVER !! Stop giving SMOKEY sole credit . Motown's First Group deserves far BETTER than to be ignored and thrown under the bus like that. Kudos to BOBBY ROGERS, CLAUDETTE ROGERS-ROBINSON, RONNIE WHITE, MARV TARPLIN, PETE MOORE..*and* SMOKEY ROBINSON....The Miraculous *MIRACLES !!!*

[@stephenmarcus2825]

See my comment if you want another analysis. Miracles harmony is great. There’s only one star mere, SR.

[@nulightpros136]

the best group was the Temptations. even Smokey would tell you that. that being said the Miracles were excellent.

[@imbees2]

yes indeed, I agree.

[@Misterkennedy04]

Nobody could touch the temptations period, but you are correct this is a group song not just Smokey

[@johnneal9658]

Sorry number 136 you may think that the temptations was the best group however that's your opinion and you have a right to however it depends what category of music you talking about are you talking about Motown r&b jazz fusion or what I believe one of the best group of all time was it good friend of mine Mr William Hart of The delfonics one love be peace my brothers from another mother and sisters

[@micksessions]

Made the hair on my arms stand up.... beautiful control.

[@valeskacromwell6960]

Who needs a band with voices like this. Wow.

[@JacquelineFox-xo6jn]

I'm in love with Smokey. ❤

[@Tiffonique]

Whoa! My father's group was amazing!!!! They don't make music like this anymore. RIP Warren Moore xoxo

[@KaputyBooty777]

Tiffonique • it’s an honor to have a positive comment from you. Thanks. You’re right, they were amazing and they don’t make ‘em like that anymore. My deep sympathies for your loss.

[@Tiffonique]

Thank you so much

[@williamg2552]

Tiffonique -They SHOULD give your Daddy Pete Moore (R.I.P.) ...and the rest of The MIRACLES (Bobby, Ronnie, and Claudette) due CREDIT for this song...instead of just putting SMOKEY'S name on the TOP of THIS PAGE ...and giving HIM all of the CREDIT, like HE was the ONLY person on the RECORD. Take the rest of THE MIRACLES' voices away, and SEE if it sounds AS GOOD !!

[@marieangela3635]

The moment it started playing....CHILLS!

[@rankinangela1st]

Tune what a sweet tune💥💥BOp💥💥Bop💥💥💥👏👏💥👌💯Good Music🎶🔈🔈🔈

[@andreabaldwin7081]

Brings me back in time listening to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.❤

[@sylvia1585]

No music just shows that he could really really sing, Smokey and the Miracles were a magnificient group, and when he went solo he was great and still is to this day. Sing it Smokey. Musical geniuse!!!!!!!!

[@glennhfriedman4571]

they pulled the backing tracks

[@vettevegas]

Favorite version of my favorite song! Thank you.

[@rebeccagroves1096]

My favorite was Smokey and the Miracles

[@lestinecramer3534]

Thanks for all you did Smokey . Such a talented man. Love your songs and all the songs you wrote for my Favorite Group The Temptations. Thanks Smokey. The Temptations Forever

[@MrSarge47]

good God,what a voice.

[@williamg2552]

You mean "voices". There are 5 Miracles singing here...not just one. Take away the voices of BOBBY RONNIE, PETE, and CLAUDETTE, and this will sound far DIFFERENT... I assure you.

[@kelsey2992]

Played This version & it Made my adopted nana w dementia sing the ooo ooo ooooooooooo & a lot of the rest 🥹🥹💖💖💖 RIP I miss u nana, every single second of every single day😪💔 never goodbye, it’s see ya later!💖💖😭😭

[@elainefellippello7711]

OUT OF THIS WORLD VOCALS, ONE OF THE GREATEST.

[@kevinhipps1236]

The greatest

[@stephenmarcus2825]

This a joyous acapella version of a seminal Miracles song. I love it. The harmonies are spot on. But, the lead singer is Smokey Robinson. He is the legend of Motown that reigns. He was Motown, right after Berry, his mentor and best friend. Smokey is supreme. He still has it today. Blessed that he is in my life.

[@stephenmarcus2825]

Nice video too. Good job man.

[@lindasiwalette154]

Whisper....I still love you ....nice lyrics

[@sunsetsongs6592]

This is absolutely ⏲️ ⏳️ 🕐 🕙 🕚 🕑 ⏲️ 🌃 Timeless and Beautiful...and without the background 🎶 🎵 music 🎶 🎵 sets a whole new tone.Great either way but just when u thought it couldn't get any better....I remember this song being in the movie Coming To America...Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. It sailed ⛵️ it's way all the way into the 80's...again timeless. To take it even further...if 2 young people of today were really in love ❤️ ...I bet u lots of young couples 💑 😏 of today if they were really in love...they could feel this song 🎵. Much love ❤️.

[@soulCracka1]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@lynnlobliner3933]

Smokey mentioned once in an interview that he wished his voice sounded different I think he said more soulful). Had it, he likely wouldn't have had the singing career he had. It's UNIQUE to him and he should embrace it!

[@KaputyBooty777]

Great comment: thanks

[@elderhardaway5674]

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh My, My!!!!!!! **Superb* **Acapella Vocals** I Love The **Harmonious Quality** To This **Marvelous** Song. I Can Hear Each Individual Voice **So Clearly** I Hear **Claudette's Voice** In The Background Very Clearly!!!! **Priceless** And A **Precious** Treasure Of **Superb** Vocal Quality!!!!

[@simonecarter7883]

Smokey Robinson has been .my favorite ever since I saw him at The Howard Theater. Singing this song.👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelmilligan675]

And this is just one of the songs that Smokey wrote ! What a GREAT writer and singer ! We are all BLESSED to hear him . Now I am waiting to hear" I'll try something new " Which Smokey wrote in the same year as this song ?

[@imbees2]

yes now, Smokey and the Miracles. This was the song. Baby Baby. what a wonderful song. I'm crying

[@themindofsam]

Damn! Now that's talent. If I could have anyone's singing voice, it would def be Smokey's.

[@thebottle51]

BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@travis45671]

OMG this is GOLD! thank you !!!

[@lorraineankers4931]

Love it so many memories

[@imbees2]

I seen all the group. Smokey and the Miracles. for several years before Smokey went off on his own. The Miracles were an integral part of Smokey's sound in the late 50s and early 60s. I can attest!

[@KaputyBooty777]

Amazing. Many of us would have loved to have been in the audience with you ❤️

[@gregory88843]

You all keep the jams for yourself. Its real!.

[@imbees2]

Smokey can still sing this song at 83 years old. I'm just saying!

[@fncz]

A key or two lower

[@doowop47]

That voice...

[@Caskchap]

Wow, never heard that before and it was stunning.

[@johnneal9658]

But we're talking about smoking in the miracles right now got to give me his credit he's up there and his group may God bless their soul piece once again 😀

[@Branner]

Beautiful--and nice job on the video!

[@glennhfriedman4571]

[@brucevob]

I recorded my version of this great song about a year ago, before I ever heard Smokeys acapella.To me, he s the greatest singer, writer,musical creater combo ever.Tracks of My Tears,Shop Around, I ll Try something new, etc. The list goes on and on.I have great respect and admiration for Smokey. There is only one Smokey Robinson.My version of Ooh, Baby, Baby is, Brucevob on You Tube,Acapella. Give a listen.

[@My2up2downCastle]

Audible honey ❤

[@lmfd7373]

lets talk about how Smokey may have only been about 24-25 singing like THIS! The vocals are off the charts ! The words of the song nobody singing like this anymore where the words mean more than the sound the harmonizing they just killed it period !

[@imbees2]

Smokey was about 21 singing this song. The words he sang were unprecedented, and other people had to realize that his words were influencing more than Smokey's audience. Mowtown was just a baby in the record industry at this point, and of no consequence to the influential record companies. Back in the day. Berry Gordy sold Motown Records for only $90 M.

[@phyllisjones4527]

Wow sang it.

[@johnjohnson7006]

🤔TOP TIERED UNIVERSALLY !!! BLACK EXCELLENCE !😉

[@spmoran4703]

My ex should listen to the lyrics of this . This baby , baby me as moved on. Hes crying.

[@KaputyBooty777]

williamg2552 try to get over it and just enjoy the moment

[@robertatkinson7258]

Thank you, williamg2552. I agree with you 100-million percent. This is a GROUP effort superbly done!!

[@williamg2552]

Thanks , Robert !! Music history needs to be kept intact ! The MIRACLES were Motown's first recording group. They had the label's FIRST million-seller. The first #1 R&B Hit. They are the most-covered Motown act in history. They are the HIGHEST-RANKED Motown group on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the Top 100 recording acts of ALL TIME . They have MORE songs in The Grammy Hall of Fame than ANY other Motown group (even more than The Supremes and The Temptations. They also have MORE songs inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll than ANY other Motown group...yet, despite all that. people are STILL trying to "piece them out" ...giving credit to Just Smokey, while attempting to discard the other members . They sang together, performed together, wrote songs together. They should be CREDITED together.

[@stephenmarcus2825]

Enough about pushing the group. Just listen.

[@williamg2552]

The ENTIRE GROUP does the WORK...Only ONE PERSON gets all of the CREDIT. You guys really trip me out !! THE MIRACLES were a GROUP ....consisting of 5 vocalists and 1 master guitarist ....not just ONE PERSON. It was all 6 of these people that made the MIRACLES special. LISTEN to those voices...all 5 OF THEM. LISTEN TO THAT AWESOME HARMONY !!! Miracles Bass singer PETE MOORE did all of the group's vocal arrangements. not SMOKEY. Those awesome layered harmonies came from PETE. All of the group's members shared in the writing of all of those hits....and PETE and RONNIE also produced several of them. Anybody who really knows the history of The MIRACLES, already KNOWS this. THE MIRACLES , throughout their history, were NEVER just a ONE -MAN SHOW. They ALL deserve DUE CREDIT: SMOKEY, BOBBY , CLAUDETTE, RONNIE , PETE, and MARV.

[@weotalks2810]

williamg2552 ...ANY DO WOp GROUP COULD HAVE BACKED SMOKEY, HARMONY WAS SWEET, BUT LET'S BE CLEAR, THEY WERE NO TEMPTATIONS.

[@garymayfield5995]

No Eddie either

[@jiml8637]

Believe it or not, hes Michael Jackson’s father.
