[@helencard934]

It's 2 years down the road and Smokey still makes my heart melt. I just love his voice. He is the best crooner I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. You go boy!!!!

[@themajicman745]

This song brought my daughter into this world with some help from me. Smokey supplied the wax and I supplied the pipe.

[@notmebutyou8350]

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kych2008]

Congrats

[@ifinallyfoundthebeef]

Hmmmmm😅😅😅

[@kennethpatterson1162]

I met plenty of young ladies while playing this ballet it's funny how so many people said. I favoured. Smokey. Eyes complexion and afro if I only had the pipes. God bless you. Smokey

[@traceygroomes9296]

Smokey live on Soul Train? Live vocals? Live instruments? Don’t get no better than this! Can a falsetto get any sweeter? This soul music haunts your spirit wanting to be the one someone yearns for like this? Smokey. A national treasure. Whew. Got me feeling some type of way y’all!

[@christinagraham2915]

He actually sung this twice live on here

[@bobbie143bc]

When Soul Train started in the 70s most of the guest sang live. 😊

[@catboyzee]

This track was, and still is, the shizzznittt. Happy 81st born day(Feb 19, 2021) to Motown legend William 'Smokey' Robinson. #respect

[@leezeno6874]

The ONE, THE ONLY, What a MIRACLE! I'm an Essar Lover 4ever. I heard Ooo Baby Baby @ 11 yrs old and fell in love with that voice and it's been a 57 yr. affair. I love a lot of great singers from all genres. But, to me Smokey and that melodious storytelling voice is a GENRES in itself. BLee

[@patrickmonroe5147]

I agree momma

[@floydmasonii5668]

THE SHAKESPEARE OF A-L-L L-O-V-E LYRICS 💜💜💜

[@sheliajohnson4585]

Lord can I just go to one of my baby’s concert. My one and only favorite singer, period ♥️. Just one slow dance

[@barbaramoore209]

Another hit 💋 sweet I grew up on these ole skool love hits.

[@tommiemccall1384]

Smokey is The " Baddest " singer " Alive " No one like him NO ONE!!!

[@michellewatts2651]

S.M.H. oooh wee, this one is to HOT. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy this man on this song, right here, Lord, makes you forget your.religious Orientation...oooh hoooo, who else could do Smokey.... I know the temperature rose a few notches that day in that place. I bet some.of those females were experiencing some sudden "hot flashes" .....lol. You can't help but Love Smokey

[@troytyler8613]

So sad by the time i found this song. The girl this song expressed my feelings perfectly for. She was gone because we were having a baby at 17 years old each. Strange all these years later and no one has came close to her

[@Patsytaylor-i9v]

He's the best love making out all singers to me I ment him when I was 16 on Clifton street at the club call the black nugget and he has the same voice

[@marlonbryant3807]

Simply the best at that genre of music the best ever

[@marciasilva295]

Em 2025 ouvindo o melhor para eu ter certeza que ainda é possível amar. É possível sim ainda uma música nos tocar profundamente ❤

[@helencard934]

What a truly fine man with that beautiful 'fro. I have loved his voice forever. He has truly recorded the tracks of my life.

[@helencard934]

@William Smokey Robinson Chicago. Wow, you just made my day, my year. Thank you for bothering to respond. You made my little old lady's heart feel good. God bless you.❤

[@darrenstafford7492]

My man Smokey had a serious Afro back in the day, didn't he?? Lol! But this is one of my favorite songs by him and Marvin Tarplin on guitar!

[@amd77j]

Marvin Tarplin rocked!

[@babakazi5818]

Yeah bad brotha a Supreme miracle legend him an north end smoke. Salute blkluv an blkpwr

[@terryarnold9154]

Thanks for posting this, wonderful to see and hear Smokey perform this beautiful ballad. Was lucky to see him live in the UK in the early 80's and this was always one of the highlights of the show. He really is a wonderful songwriter and his solo work is sometimes overlooked, but this from "Pure Smokey" and of course "Quiet Storm" were wonderful albums and strangely under appreciated. Thanks again .

[@RamardoTHunt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@donhylorjr.6145]

Wowww.... beautiful version of what was already a masterpiece

[@ronaldwesby4257]

Smokey sung this song twice on Soul Train, the second time was amazing as well, chwck it out.
