SMOKEY ROBINSON "I'll Try Something New / Tracks Of My Tears / Ooh Baby Baby"

Description

[@RichardKoenigsberg]

His greatest song. Insufficiently recognized. Poetry set to music.

[@RichardKoenigsberg]

But better to go to the original record. More passion and intensity. This is too casual. It's not a CROONING song. In the original, Smokey is almost fanatic: begging for love. I don't like this version.

[@AnthonyBrown-to2ie]

Ladies listen to this song. Now that's what u call OLD School. Told u that they don't make em like that no more.

[@jeannestrickland7027]

Thank goodness I'm old enough to remember when music sounded like this.

[@edwarddiaz9724]

berry gordy said after hearing these lyrics he realized smokey was a songwriting genius.

[@BillBird2111]

Yes! He touches on this very thought in Hitsville: The Making of Motown. He knew that Smokey had surpassed him as a songwriter when he heard this. That he had gone in a direction he never even once considered going. Berry may have been the force behind Motown, but Smokey was just as instrumental in the company's amazing sucesss.

[@sidneyhunt9976]

Four decades I'm listening too

[@garymayfield5995]

I've give him the song writing but not the singing

[@jeffhutch580]

​@@BillBird2111 Berry was still a prolific SONGWRITER based on the hits he wrote for his sparring partner Jackie Wilson and might I add Smokey Robinson's favorite and greatest singer to date. Berry actually told Smokey the fundamentals about writing a song. It's like a story. You have a beginning middle and an end. So ends the lesson.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

The younger generation need to indulge themselves in this old school music because it got it point across respectfully without all the sucking, eating, and licking you hear today.

[@emmanuelbugor789]

You are right

[@deloresdanzine6779]

I have always loved Smokey, he has a one of a kind voice. I have had the privilege to see him several times in concert over the years. Looking forward to a concert January of 2019, can't wait to see to see him perform again. I LOVE U SMOKEY.

[@ujimajame4601]

This looks like an outtake from "Motown 25." Though I have nothing against Linda Rondstat, i did not look at Motown 25 to see non-Motown artists perform songs made by artists that were still around to do their own tunes!

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are so sosososo amazing

[@floyd9232]

OoooooH ⁉️ Blow Smokey🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SunnyIlha]

6:25. 6:29. Wow Linda really looked at Smokey here. She's the only one yet who's ever really renditioned this song with unusual greatness. Her own voice, her own signature distinct style.

[@TheChryshelle]

HANDSOME,SEXY, SOULTRY VOICE DAMN I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE HIM IN PERSON SINGING AS IF HE WAS SINGING ONLY TO ME.

[@deborahlsmith4315]

I actually met this musical genius. At a Baltimore City Fair. He asked if anybody could sing one of his songs. I raised my hand. My best friend & daughter's father, DJ Curtis Anderson told me to sing. Cause he knew I could sing15-20 of Smokey's songs.

[@MrCeora]

Just go ahead and drop the mic Smokey. Nobody can touch you...

[@ujimajame4601]

Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations did a great job with "I'll Try Something New" as well. It was the follow-up to "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me."

[@marciapeak893]

I'll try something new was the first song that actually made me scream as a teenager. lol I was shocked when that happened. I must truthfully say that in this video I would prefer to hear only Smokey, not a duet with someone who did a cover of his song.

[@maryweatherton6061]

They did that

Who is the woman singing by Smoky?

[@yoat22]

Linda Ronstadt. You could call her the queen of cover songs. Most of her hits were covers. She covered both "Tracks Of My Tears" (#25) and "Ooh Baby Baby" (#7).

[@nozomi501832]

You are so kind!! Thanks!! She and her voice are very beautiful😊
