Dedicated to Reggie my friend we would sing this every Friday for years. He died during COVID. Miss him.

Smokey Robinson is poet and he deserves to go down in history.

[@videojockeysword]

+jimipurple123 Duh, that ship has sailed...into his cocaine nightmares...he's over that now, but Motown is long gone...and none their artist had ANY respect for the band members...

[@PrinceJes]

Yes he does

[@bpark222]

We are going down history, eventually

[@JaimeGarcia-sg9xj]

Yes, he does.

[@aredrose527]

He walked out like a real boss. Complete confidence. Music doesn’t get better than this.

[@vtapvtap3925]

Every year is great in music. Still

[@giuliodistefano6246]

The Beatles did better than this and so other musician in the 60s and 70s

"She might be cute, but she's just a substitute. You're the permanent one!" ~Smokey Robinson

[@karlpower8557]

Smokey is a straight up G the way he just walks out and doesn't have to try his talent is just effortless pure class

[@danielthueson7350]

No school Like the old school baby. And im only 40. I miss my Dad

[@ashleypaul6326]

He had such swag. And he was so cute too lol

As a 30 year old that was born in 1981 I can say that I, for one, yearn for more music like this. God, I love this song

[@DC42087]

Hows life at 41? Im 36 and the music still hasnt got any better has it 😅. This however is a timeless classic

[@MiTmite9]

You just can’t choose one favorite Smokey song. There’s too many masterpieces in his songbook. The greatest songwriter of my life. Thank God for this man and all he’s given us.

[@stephenmarcus2825]

I can’t stop writing about my Smoke. I’ve loved his music for 50+ years and I am still addicted to these songs. So wonderful

[@mamiejohnson2527]

How many of us Know what Smokey is singing about, How many had them track around you eyes And your smile was out of place, with Some one And didn't want to be there, My Brother is so smooth and soft This has a Voice great one Thanks you for them love songs I ain't gone To lie I know what he mean God Bless you Smokey and Guys

[@Specialized61]

My oldest daughter bought tickets to see him for the first time last night here in San Antonio. I brought tears to my eyes. Brought back memories of hearing him for the first time in 66. was in 1st grade and my uncle had just returned from Nam. He always played Smokey and the Temptations. I fell in love with his music then. I went to it throughout my life time during many of my trials and tribulations. Here I am at 56 but I finally saw my idol. I wish he knew what happiness he's brought. I got my oldest hooked on him and other Motown greats. As we were driving home I asked her to expose his music to my 4 yr old grandson when he grows up.

[@hanalouisiana9017]

I bought tickets to see him with my momma also in Louisiana about 2 years ago. It was one of my favorite concerts I’ve seen. Smokey definitely still has it!

They were great, but they didn't write nothin' . The Miracles wrote DOZENS of hits . (ALL of them, not just Smokey)

[@danedmonds6988]

They don't make music like this anymore :( no electric music, no autotune, just great vocals and stage presence

[@Auntkekebaby]

Smooth, cold entrance. Floating. One of THE GREATEST pop songwriter of all time. LEGEND!!!!

[@andrethompson2034]

No he's not one of the greatest pop song writers, he's the greatest song writer poet ever. At 83 years old he's still writing new music and performing.

[@PvPSHEEP]

As my teacher put it, "his voice is silk." Can't describe it any other way.

[@glenmcgregor3366]

Pure class. The moves, the song, Smokey and the Miracles. It doesn't get any better. I remember seeing them on TV and it was pure magic. These are artists in the finest sense of the words. Wish these young people now days would stop and look at this and all of the other great performances. They don't depend on computer magic, just talent.

Platoon turned me on to this song. Not much for soul, but this song has the words I can't express myself.

[@VinnyDoesLife]

"Now take a good look at my face!" I can listen to that constantly.

[@mg1342mg]

I will always love these old videos of the gentlemen in suits doing their dance. Voices that will never be replicated. If only these modern singers had a fraction of the talent and presence.

My mom would be happy at me listening to this.

[@cindyweir9645]

My favorite Motown group and when I was fourteen a friend and I went to our usual Friday night dance at the Walled Lake Casino near Detroit. I had no idea 12 yr old Stevie Wonder would be there singing his hit Fingertips, he was so great and then low and behold they announced Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were going to perform next. I about died! Smokey was my dreamboat idol. The white suits and the music, it was magic. First song, Shop Around. What a night. I still love them at 72.

[@nancysaucier1112]

I was there too! I was 12, watching Stevie, and then Smokey!

What a perfect song. Even the tambourine was kicking. How many of us can relate to the words of this classic?

Bob Dylan said once: Smokey's the best songwriter. And the voice , the music: sheer perfection.

[@whoknows1478]

He also titled Smokey as, "America's Greatest Living Poet"

[@kibbulz1]

+Mr. Gracian sorry....he said that about SAM COOKE....not lil o Smokey.

[@williamg2552]

WRONG. He said it about SMOKEY. It's a well- known, documented, historical FACT. BUT, SMOKEY didn't write this song ALONE. It was written by 3 of The MIRACLES, SMOKEY, PETE MOORE , and MARV TARPLIN .

I remember late 80’s this song being re-released It was constantly played in my folks pub. In south London. Was incredible and we loved it…, 32/33 ish years later (I’m 49) I see Smokey Robinson in last few months on an American chat show! Looking incredible! Time and the concept of time, is bizarre. He’s my parents age. But popped up on screen the other week, looking 30 years younger!
