Another rabbit hole Worth going down. Tons & tons of great music from this group.with & without smokey. Smokey wrote & produced most of the songs not only for the miracles, but for most of groups/ singers on motown
You have arrived at the sounds of best Motown artists in their greatest era. Besides being a fabulous singer, Smokey is the composer of many Motown hits performed by other artists, including Mary Wells, The Temptations, The Marvelettes, and Marvin Gaye. Listen to Smokey's "Ooo Baby Baby" or "The Tracks of My Tears". Then listen to Mary Wells sing the big hits he penned for her: "My Guy", "The One Who Really Loves You", "Two Lovers", and "You Beat Me to the Punch".
Smokey wrote this song. What's amazing is, Bob Dylan who is perhaps The Greatest Songwriter Of All Time, actually commented once that Smokey was the best lyricist ever. When Smokey heard that comment from Bob, he was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe it. But he was very appreciative. By the way, Roy Orbison wasn't blind, he just started wearing dark glasses and it became a trademark of his.
This song started my love for Smokey Robinson; it hit the airwaves when I was eleven and I was hooked!! I've loved him through all these years. 💖 edit: You two are so funny! 😆 My request is their 1965 son Ooo Baby Baby, please and thank you.👍
"You Really Got a Hold on Me" (1964). Was written by singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson. He was one of the most prolific songwriters in the history of music. Besides writing and singing most of the songs for the Imperials. He also wrote songs for other artist on the Motown label. Glad to see your going down the Motown rabbit hole. Great reaction as always.
3 ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR SOUL CLASSICS,, JUNIOR WALKER & THE ALL STARS "WHAT DOES IT TAKE"...ARCHIE BELL & THE DRELLS "TIGHTEN UP"..BILLY STEWART "I DO LOVE YOU"..TRUST ME!!
please react to “ooh baby baby” by smokey robinson and the miracles live from 1965!! i love your guy’s channel so much, it has become my favorite reaction channel and i really hope to see you guys react to that song live ❤️
Smokey is one of the all time greats! He writes, sings (voice so sweet you get diabetes just listening to him), produces. Was a good looking young man and grew old with grace still looking good. I heard him on the radio and someone requested one of his songs and he said thanks but no: I'm here to play others music and help them out (dude is humble too)! Gotta love Smokey!
Watch the live black and white version of Smokey doing "Ooh Baby Baby" from the middle 60's. You need to see how this guy performed his music. Smokey Robinson, the sweetest voice ever put on record.
My first Smokey Robinson song was in the early 80s, Cruzin... I Love it When We Cruzin Together... yeah, Such a great song and it was a new song for him.
When I was a kid back in 64 (5 years old) I heard the Beatles version and fell in love with the song. Later on I appreciated what Smokey Robinson and the Miracles did for music and how other musicians loved their music too.
Now, Smokey Robinson, was my favorite singer, he was in a group called the “Miracles.” He saying not I don’t like, not like, I don’t like you. Meaning, I like you, & I love you at the same time. You act crazy, but I love you, anyway!!! Now, 2 things, 1. he was married 1nc. 2. he not only wrote for other people & himself but he sung solo himself! Love y’all’s!!!
You really opened the door wide to all this great music. It's so fun to watch you two appreciate what you are hearing. It's a sweet spot, an amazing treasure to so many of us. Just for the two of you, i think you would really enjoy "Dance With Me" by The Drifters. S&M you rock.
I used to play this song in my room so loud that my dad used to bang on the walls. That's when I would respond to him and say, but Dad it's Smokey. Smokey Robinson wrote a lot of music for a lot of artists. For example, Mary Wells, The Temptations, Rick James and so on.
*I randomly came across this video. You guys are awesome. I really like your genuine reaction to the music and also, your love for each other. It's noticed. We love to see it PS: Mel’s vocals in the beginning.... Okayyyy! 👏🏾*
Smokey is the ultimate poet lyricist. Check out just about any song, particularly from the mid '60's to the early 70's. I highly recommend Darling Dear, Swept For You, and More Love. Another great classic that Smokey and the Miracles did was a song called Give Her Up. I was surprised to find out that Smokey didn't write it but it sure sounds like he did. I am sure you won't regret reviewing any or all of them.
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were pretty fabulous. They inspired The Beatles among many others. Smokey also mentored Michael Jackson when he was a child star too. When you're ready for more hits from Smokey Robinson & The Miracles check out "I Second That Emotion", "The Tracks Of My Tears", "The Tears Of A Clown", "Shop Around", "Going to a Go-Go", and "I Like It Like That" among many others. And be sure to check out some of the songs Robinson wrote and produced: Mary Wells "My Guy", The Temptations "My Girl", "The Way You Do The Things You Do", and "Get Ready", The Four Tops "Stillwater", and Marvin Gaye "Ain't That Peculiar" among others.
I first heard this song as The Beatles cover. Later learned where it came from. A very different song but similar in subject is the Bill Withers funk classic- Use Me.
Lennon did such a FABULOUS job when the Beatles covered this, I actually like it better than Smokey's. John Lennon put so much emotion in his voice when the Beatles did it.
@@patticrichton1135 The piano on the Beatles cover version sounded better than the Miracles original Motown version . But I like both versions equally .
RIP The Funk Brothers the Motown House Band. I am currently working on Smokey Robinson and the Miracles " You Really Got A Hold On Me " James Jamerson RIP Motown Bassist. I relate to this more than you know 😞.
❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ Hi Shawn and Mel!!! I hope you’re ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Smokey Robinson came out with an album in 1975-ish, titled “QUIET STORM” with the mail song having the same name!!! I would love to request this song, along with two (2) others from the album, “THE AGONY & THE ECSTASY” &. “LOVE LETTERS”. I hope you give any of these thee songs a try. Smokey is an AMAZING singer, and he wrote all three songs as well, and his voice is just WOW!!! ⭐️ Thank you kindly for your consideration!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ With love to you both always, ~ Laura 💞
I LOVE Black LOVE! Smokey was actually married to the female singer in this group for 20+ years. I LOVE how you make Mel blush! Much love and blessings to you both🥰🤎🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🇹🇹🇹🇹 GOD CAN ONLY AFFORD TO MAKE 1 ''SMOKEY!!!'' THERE WILL ONLY BE 1 SMOKEY ROBINSON MANNNNN!!! TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO WAS BUILT ON DE # MOWTOWN MAGIC 💗💗💯💯👌👍 🇹🇹🇹🇹🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goin' to a go-go... Come 'round here.... etc etc etc etc 👍👍👍💥💫 Saw them In Atlantic City at the old Steele Pier Ballroom. I think I paid about $3.00 and change to get in to see them sing and later went outside on the pier to watch the famous diving horse dive into a water tank.... Lol... what days😊
Need me some more Smokey. Sultry sweet and silky smooth! Would love to hear you react to "Cruisin'." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W1zY6cWpoMQ.html the studio version.
I'm in my early 40s and grew up with my Mom listening to this music. This is Sunday morning Motown in Mama's kitchen. She passed a few years back and , your videos have me missing her so bad right now. LOVIN your reactions!
What Really Kills me, Smokey has perhaps one of the Greatest Voices of All Time and he was there when they performed USA for Africa. But he never got to Sing! Why?
THIS IS FROM EAR;LY 1963---------I HAVE THIS 45, & I PLAYED IT AT LEAST 50 TIMES WHEN I 1ST PLAYED IT. --------------CLASSIC EARLY MOTOWN. ------------MJL, 77 Y/O
There's three riders of songs that you just can't mess with and I Smokey Robinson Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder Smokey the poetic one of of the three you got to hear the man is a master of lyrics
When I was a kid, I thought this was a Conway Twitty song. We listened to country music, so his version was the only one I knew, until I got into the Oldies. Speaking of Conway, he was a pop/rocker in his early career. I recommend you try his song 'Make Believe,' which was a big hit.
