      Probably many won't know the songs he wrote that others sang. My Girl, My Guy, Get Ready, Beat Me to the Punch, The Way You Do the Things You Do. He was one of the main writers at Motown. Still touring at 82

    This is one of those songs that you want to be in a car with a bench seat so you can slide your significant other next to you and put your arm around them and just ride up and down the strip. Great reaction and Smokey never missed with his great voice.

    God Bless Smokey. Did you see his interview on CBS Sunday Morning? A American Treasure and original. These 60s icons of their industries are now thinning out at a very fast pace so we need to always keep them alive in their music.

  • @gottabeemee
    @gottabeemee Год назад +4

    Songs like this are a treasure, a reminder of what a love song sounded back then.. when Smokey sings, it's a jam that slows you down.. yet makes your heart beat faster...

    @2tmac603 Год назад +7

    Yes, definitely cruisin" music, as evidenced by all of the low rider car culture art that was included with this song. As a former resident of East L.A., I can tell you that the music is almost as important as the cars! Many of Smokey's songs included... Tracks of My Tears, Oohh Baby, Baby, perfect for cruisin" the streets. Thanks for your reaction!

    LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! My friends and
    I would sing this way OUT LOUD in the car on the way to the Jersey shore! Once we got there, once we were on the beach, you could hear it blaring from everyone’s radio.
    THEN, you’d head up to the “boards” for a cold one and there it was AGAIN!!
    Such wonderful memories!! ❤. Thanks for sharing!

    One of his best! Wore out my Smokey 8 track over 55 yrs. ago, due to this song. 1960's to today. I still play it often. I Just can't get those youthful vibes out of this old man's body. (and don't want too!)

    I don't know if I could have lived such a happy life without Smokey, probably not. 🎶Mmmm💖 And where would we all be without the songs he wrote for others, like 'The Way You Do the Things You Do' and 'My Girl' for The Temptations and 'My Guy' for Mary Wells, just to start with⁉

    • @Sometimes-even-lyrical
      @Sometimes-even-lyrical Год назад +1

      Didn't know Smokey wrote "My Girl" and "The Way You Do The Things You Do"... two favorites of mine. And "Cruisin'" not only is my favorite of the songs he sings, it is way up there in my top 10 Motown and Stax songs! The effect of that voice is like the feel of cool silk trailing across my naked body. Smoooooooooth.… Exquisitely delicious!

  • @craig1967shelby
    @craig1967shelby Год назад +5

    This song is a classic! Grew up listening to music like this, then when GTA 5 came out, Rockstar added this song to one of the radio station’s and I always listen to this when I play the game!
    Great reaction guys! Maybe try listening sometime to The Temptations- Just my imagination!

  • @blgeiger71
    @blgeiger71 Год назад +2

    Hey Y'all! I really dug your smooth reaction to this classic tune, it's so good! I also got a kick out your comments about when, and why Smokey chose to get into making music...GIRLS. My first "love" in music was Gene "The Demon" Simmons of KISS, and he has said many times that the primary reason he started a band was seeing how US girls responded to The Beatles when they arrived and first played on The Ed Sullivan Show on TV (you may or may not be aware but Gene was around 26 years old at that time and was making a living as a 6th grade school teacher, if you can believe THAT?!?). As always, Peace & Love to All from Georgia!

    @zanohoriamazo1 Год назад +5

    Can’t go wrong with the smooth groove of Cruisin. My favs are probably Quiet Storm, & his late ep’80’s hit, Just to See Her. He also had a nice collaboration with Anderson.Paak on his song, Make It Better, in which Smokey contributed a verse & sang background vocals. There’s actually a live performance where Smokey joins Paak halfway through, singin the verse he wrote. That said, Smokey actually has a new release out now with some pretty wild titles, jus sayin. Yeah I see Asia heard the words in a certain spot, bruh as busy groovin. Actuallmfelt sorry for Smokey at the Grammys announcing the song that won, which was like, anti- God.

    Try 1955. Not only has he been singing. But he wrote a plethora of songs for Motown artists.
    But this cut revived his career in the late 70's. I'll stack this one up against most.
