Motown was and still is such a vibe. I listen to it when I am feeling a little blue, and it always takes me to a happier place.
I sure was hoping they'd take a trip through the Motown era.
Voices of young America
Great comment Robert. I love Motown. My wife doesn’t care for it, which I find insane. Great stuff.
#16 in 1965, one of the most honored songs in rock and roll history. Covered by Johnny Rivers in 1967, #10 and also by Linda Ronstadt in 1975, #25.
I love Linda's cover, but Johnny Rivers cover is my favorite of all of them I've heard. Might be because, Rivers version is the one I mostly heard growing up. My mom had so many records, both 45 and 33 rpm.
I thought it would have been top 5
@@mike04574 For sure. Motown and the Beatles were the musical royalty of the 1960's. The Beatles early on covered Smokey's song You Really Got a Hold on Me.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Shop Around" "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" , "I Second That Emotion" , and "The Tears of a Clown"!!! Motown in the house!
Left out "ooh baby"...honestly the best song smokey ever did
@@JonnyQuest64 Plus, Cruisin', 😊
@@friendtostfrancis yea...kind of an honest mistake now I think about it. Damn smokey was good!
@@JonnyQuest64 You didn't make a mistake. I should have just made the comment separately without it being a direct reply to you. 🙃
@@friendtostfrancis yea but you reminded me that smokey has so many good songs it's an honest mistake to miss 1 or 2 lol
I grew up well after this era, and I was a teenager when grunge hit and was very much a part of that. But there'll never be a time in music like the Motown era. So much of the best music ever made came out of this, so many incredible musicians and groups.
Same here
I was also a teenager during the grunge period. But my Mother and Grandmother would play Motown and other music from that time.
Yep, that time is over. 😥 Everything nowadays is so raunchy. With no real musicians. Just Auto -tune and music algorithms making up beats.
Absolutely!
Average white boy here. Even though they were before my time, I love old school R & B from the sixties. My goodness songs like this are still so awesome.
What a memory trigger! I'm transported to a time when I was 14 or 15 walking down the road with my transistor radio as loud as it would go without distorting to hell and back. Smokey was there with me, as was the rest of Motown! 😉♥
Smokeys voice still makes me swoon....just one of those rare/special voices.
In my top 10 songs ever written. I got to see the man perform it about 15 years ago. Spine-tingling.
Very cool!!
This era is underrated. Americans used to make good music. Seriously name me more than a few truly good artists and songwriters today. This song is deep pop music.
A few others from Smokey and the Miracles
"Shop Around"
"Oo Baby, Baby"
"I Second that Emotion"
"Tears of Clown"
"Going to a Go Go"
Era's not underrated. More like undefeated.
I so wholeheartedly agree about how special the songwriting was. The lyrics are a master class in how to write a good song. The performance was equally good too. I don't think that the Motown era is underrated, though, but deeply missed, especially now when compared to the crap that's being cranked out today. It takes ten people to "compose" a two-chord "song" nowadays.
Because education is so poor, if you're under 45 you probably had a crappy education (purposely intended to lower intelligence so you can be more easily fooled and manipulated). Oh and throw is religion and the invisible man in the sky to really make it so it's impossible for you to know the truth from a load of bullshit.
I hate when people say this stuff. There are tons of good American artists today with good lyrics etc., u just don’t look hard enuf. Surface level music is garbage rn tho I’ll give u that
"Americans used to make good music" So you the type of dude that likes Kpop? and think that shit is good music
Always amazes me that EVERYONE doesn't know all this old music inside and out. But I guess that's what happens when you get old.
An all time classic. You can't not do his "The Tears of a Clown" 🙂
Motown music and the cars we made in Detroit were rocking in the 60's..Everybody was working and had disposable income back then..I'm so lucky to have grown up there and then..Smokey and the Temps and the four tops,Stevie wonder, etc.with the funk brothers backing everybody up . What an Awesome childhood..I'm so thankful for it..
Linda Ronstadt did this song in the 70s. You should check it out, her version is awesome too.
"Twisting the Night Away,"Tears of a Clown, "l Second That Emotion".All great songs
I had such a crush on him when I was young... my favorite song is still..."CRUSIN"
Smokey is such an incredible singer.
From everybody’s childhood I was born in 61 and this was on always in the 60s and 70s
Smokey was the definition of smooth. I could listen to oldies all day. I'm 38 and grew up on this thanks to my dad
Smokey was part of making The Detroit Sound. You’ve got to do the Temptations, Spinners, Four Tops, The Supremes, and many more. Many of the songs were done in one take.
love Smokey!! "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" would be a great next reaction to him! Check it out guys!
Saw Smokie in Vegas. The guy is an absolute genius. He wrote SO many of the popular hits by nearly every Motown performer there was. He wrote so many hits it would amaze you. One of the best singer/song writers ever if not, THE best.
Smokey blew my mind as kid. A sensitive man but still a man...
One of the greatest singer and song writer in history. I grew up loving his music along with the rest of Motown people
This is the beginning of Motown, a music production studio that began in detroit in a house, some of the best artists in the history of music came out of that place, diana ross and the supremes, marvin gaye, michael jackson and the jackson 5, stevie wonder... but Smokey robinson and the miracles was right at the beginning. Check out Hitsville, the making of Motown, really good.
Linda Ronstadt did an Awesome Cover of this Song! Smokey was smooth and relaxed, but Linda put some "Funk" into it. BOTH versions are Great!
Yep
Didn’t they do a duet? Can you imagine idolizing a person and end up singing on stage with them? I’m sure that was a highlight of Linda’s career.
Absolutely nothing that they put out today can come close to this!! Love Motown!❤😄
Smokey has one of the greatest voices of all time.
Smokey Robinson is one of the handful of genius songwriters that made the 60's the best decade for music.... try "Tears of a Clown", and "The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage"
Just a reminder that, in the 1960s, _innocence_ in song & scripts had yet to be fully replaced by _irony_ and the target audience here was on the young side. Think of "My Girl" by The Temptations: sweet and naive were still ok to sing about. I think that maybe Brad's projecting.....
I got into this song from the movie "Platoon" and now I love this tune. Rock on Brad & Lex
will always remember Platoon when I hear this song.
Brad, Motown's top songwriter you take a gut wrenching classic " What if a person cry so much that you could see tracks of their tears on their face". That's what the song is about. He's not singing about himself.
Right. Smokey could be the biggest player on the planet. That's not what the song is about. The song is about a guy who is secretly crying for the love of his life who has moved on.
Luther Vandross was known for singing all of these songs, begging for the girl to give him a chance. Turned out, he was gay. Didn't change what his songs were about.
Lizard brained dead-eyed Brad is thick as a brick.
He is absolutely hopeless when it comes to nuance, and is congenitally unable to not take everything literally.
@@debjorgo this what I read and why couldn't it be that?
@@victorcowboywest I didn't say it wasn't. I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying the song has nothing to do with whether Smokie played around or not. That doesn't contradict what you said.
@@debjorgo I misunderstood and on that note, I say may your life be blessed 🖖🏾👊🏾
As the TV ad for one of those old anthology albums said, "Son, turn that stuff off. But dad! It's Smokey."
Smokey Robinson is legendary. Great voice and always feeling it. The soul music out of Motown and my favorites out of Stax Music Studios in Memphis Tennessee can’t be beat. Look em up.
Reminds me of a friend I had at school around 1970 who had a Dansette portable record player in a wooden box with a lift up lid. Who used to play me his collection of Tamala Motown records, sitting on the carpet, surrounded by records. This single came out in the UK in 1965.
Got the chance to meet Smokey a few years back. Talked about 5 minutes. It's great when you're idols are who you think they are. Sweet sweet man.
You should listen to 'The Tears of a Clown,' by Smokey & the Miracles. It's awesome, and one of my all time favourites.
Ah! SMOKEY!!!!
Just love them!
I think the Miracles were Motown’s first big group. Then he went into producing.
U can hear him in a clip from Darryl’s House
Now do "Being With You" for the GREAT Smokey Robinson 20 years after this record. His amazing voice lost none of its quality over the years, but recording technology got so much better you get to appreciate him in all his glory.
He and Bob Dylan...greatest poets of my day...and he saved Motown by writing all those songs for other groups! "Tears Of A Clown" is my favorite.
This is classic Motown. That’s because Smokey was one of the key songwriters at Motown, turning out hit after hit. Thank you for your reaction.
In 1992, I was a young 18 yr old I had and job with the US Forestry service fighting wildland forest fires in Northern California, and one of my buddies had the movie soundtrack to the movie "Platoon" this was a song on it. Brings back memories, several good songs on that sound track!!!!
1965 this was released Motown was really starting to click this was a great song covered by many.
Pure Motown class. This is nothing like this music and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were some of the best. Seriously - Motown is some of the finest music this country every produced.
Smokey! I haven’t heard him in a hot minute. What a smooth voice. 👍
Brad, so many people float on the voice of Smokey and the smooth Motown arrangement that all those 50 years we probably never really thought about the song like that. One of many songs where a breakup happened and someone is trying to get back in 😁🤷🏽♂️…
Sang it to my wife to be 54 years ago...still married to her. Great music those days.
Part of the soundtrack to my childhood! This played all the time on AM radio stations back in the '60s. Got another boost in the '80s when the movie "The Big Chill" came out that featured a lot of old Motown songs on the soundtrack.
💚S M O K E Y💚 is a blessing from the universe
I miss those days. These groups dressed so classy. One of my favorite groups and song back in the day.
Listen to Linda Ronstadts version. She makes it her own. Very heart felt
Or better yet, listen to both Smokey and Linda sing this together...
I'm Losing You by the Temptations was a great song that was covered by Rod Steward with the band Faces, and again by Rare Earth. GREAT Everytime!
Mark down today's date. I've been listening to this song for decades and this is the first time I've ever heard it this way. Smokey not being sad, he's just being a player. I will never hear this song the same way again . . .
Nice!!!! Linda Ronstadt did a great version of this song too.
This song,the movie platoon,and my mom...three things inextricably linked through different memories and emotions. God I love this damn song
Nothing like Smokey Robinson, still performing and sounds fantastic. Dude it's a song not a real life story necessarily 🤣
Fabulous Motown sound
Awesome classic motown. Smokey is the smoothest
One of the greatest Motown songs of all time.
Smokey and the Miracles were the best.
I like that you straddled decades tonight on your live stream. 1965-1974 would be cool. '55-'64.
Smokey was the consummate hit machine! Generational talent.....
Timeless! Song was covered by Linda Ronstandt in the 70s.
Wow! You guys are cold! Reactors in general do not pay enough attention to Motown. It was a huge part of the 60's music scene with many songs that can be called "classic", including this one. Smokey wrote it, as he did many of those songs and he was working with Berry Gordy from the beginning. The Motown story is so amazing and historic that it's worth a Wikipedia review at the very least. There are some great documentaries about it, including "Hitsville, USA" occasionally on HBO.
Hell yes ! Don't forget the penguins, the platters , Otis Redding, the righteous bros, Percy, Louis Armstrong, and Etta 👍👍👍
The poet of Motown.
This song always makes me think of the movie "Platoon" where the squad was baked and singing this song. Great scene from that movie.
This song takes me back to my childhood. Not 1965, the 90s, watching Platoon on VHS repeatedly
Now your talking. The soul singers of the era, So much great music
Smokey Robinson is sooo smooth 😎. My favorite song of his is Ooh Baby Baby. The live version they have on here is a very sexy performance of that song by him when he was really young. 🔥🔥
Smokey also co-wrote My Girl that was done by the Temptations.
I grew up listening to his music. No doubt he is the best
i remember my babysitter used to bring her 45's over and played these 50's and 60's hits.
Greatest record of all time !
Classic Motown. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Keeping dipping into the well.
Motown Magic,Smokey had that voice,So Good.💝
Love Smokey.He is the smmthest.
His voice is si soothing.Such a brilliant songwriter."Ooooh Baby Baby".
Wonderful stuff. Takes me back to my teenage years.
So beautiful to watch the grace of the group in their harmony any dance moves.
I would really, rally, REALLY like to see you guys do a Motown, Soul vocal groups livestream... 💙💜💙💜💙
Kate Bush : Wuthering Heights (the clip). Patti Smith : Because the Night. (and as a bonus : Nick Drake, the genius : River Man). (Love what you're doing, keep on the good work)
good music like this still has a place in 2022 and always will in centuries to come
Just one of so many great songs by Smokey & The Miracles. My favorite is Would I Love You. You Really Got A Hold On Me is another extra special song, for many reasons. Smokey wrote it in 1962, & it's as classic as you can get. I also heard Smokey say he finally felt like he had really "made it" when he heard The Beatles singing this song, which was on their Second Album, 1964. Smokey also considered that one of his greatest honors. You should listen to both versions. Both GREAT!!!!!
Quiet Storm.
I don't think you can expect that Robinson was going to go onstage to perform and actually be crying or just done crying! Ha Ha!
I can't hear this without visualizing the scene in Platoon where they all get stoned in the bunker. Great song, and Smokey could give Sam Cooke a run for his money, I thank the Universe that we had both.
Pop music's finest lyricist. A poet .
Tears of a Clown please.
No grey in Brad's life 🥸 "When you move on ... you move on."
Now you're into the Miracles you must react to "I Don't Blame You At All" - but you'll have to listen it at least six times. First concentrate on the bass and drums, then the brass, followed by strings. Fourth listen the backing vocals (superb), then Smokey and finally the arrangement. Oh and be sure to take in the song .. damn, even the silences are worth a listen.
always loved this. a bit of magic from over the radio
Smokey Robinson, influential, beyond measure.
Smokey Robinson wrote "My Girl" and was the producer for the Temptations. Tears of a Clown should be next.
One of the great all-time classics by Smokey, who helped found the Tamla Motown label and is recognised by Rolling Stone magazine as number 50 in their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time
I loved these guys so much when I was a teenager. We'd sing their songs walking down the hall at school and the boys would laugh at us.
smokey is soooo good, and one of my favorite songs...
Brad definitely has a gift…for stopping a song at the most inopportune moment!! Seriously, love you guys.
Brad is actually pretty good at it. He definitely tries to calculate the best point in the song, he only pauses once and he ALWAYS backs up a little when he restarts it.
The ones who have no clue are Robb Squad.
60's and 70's garnered the best music of all time.
Motown Chartbusters Vol 3, what an album. ❤️
Come on Brad! For cruisers who just broke up with who ever, girl or guy, it makes for a night of memories cruising.
Love Smokey. My mom would play his songs and my racist father would go outside lol.
"My smile is the make-up i wear since my break up with u" has been tricking dumb batches since 1962 baby!!! Smokey is the fuckin' King of that New Jack Swing!
A wonderful oldie.
Just love Smokey's smooth voice...great song,great singer.
You should hear Linda Ronstadt sing this song
Hi guys, so Motown is what l use to listen to before my first rock concerts
