Too true!
Yes ❤
You got that right, MzLuna! One of the coolest vibes on the planet!
Yep 👍
Yes ma'am ❤️
Smokey Robinson IS the pure essence of Motown. I have been privileged to visit Studio A in Detroit and the music that came out of that small room influenced the entire planet. ✌️
I was so stunned how small the recording studio was at Hitsville myself..incredible!
funk brothers....../.....
I’m telling y’all, you gotta get deeper into Smokey’s catalog. One of the great singers, songwriters and producers of all time. From “Quiet Storm”, to “Let Me Be The Clock, Being With You and many more, just absolute classics💯.
Absolutely!
They're missing a lot by not diving into the Quiet Storm songs, too. 😕The songs on the radio back then...
Teddy Pendergrass is waiting.
I almost forgot about Let Me Be The Clock. My Mom used to play it and my 12 year old self used to try to match his notes. I loved Vitamin U...I would sing that song at the top of my lungs.😂 Smokey's song writing skills are second to none!
@@atirro Haha! Yeah he wrote some all time classics, for himself and other artists. My favorite (but not his best) is Tell Me Tomorrow. Such a jam! 💯🔥🔥🔥
Real talk. Smokey is a national treasure for sure.
Smokey had a looong career in music...performing AND writing! He's had hits with the Miracles (of course), the Temptations, Marvin Gaye and the list goes on forever! He was a very important part of the Motown rise as a musical powerhouse! The women especially loved him from the early 60's and even now! The man was a phenom! As far as I know, he still comes out and do concerts.
He still does concerts and he's still sexy at 82!
From Detroit was Blessed many times to see the Miracels, with THE FIRST LADY OF MOWTOWN Claudette Robinson.
"Had" a long career?? He's never stopped performing and even releases new music. (Not that he needs to do either, lol.)
@@pattyduke3079 Not too many singers still do concerts at that age. I'll leave the "sexy" thing for you to enjoy. 🙂
@@dianenc I hadn't heard one way or another if he was still performing until now. Thanks for the info @DianeNC!
Love this song by Smokey! Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow sang this song in the 2000 movie Duets which is pretty good.
Love that movie
I wondered if anybody else would remember that.
Everyone did a good job with the singing in that movie. I have heard Andre didn't really sing, but his Free Bird was awesome.
D'Angelo also does a tremendous job on this song
Absolutely
Smokey just performed on American Idol this past Sunday evening. Amazingly, now at 83 years old, he still has this smooth, silky voice and moves around the stage with ease. On top of that, he premiered his NEW song, still putting out quality material in his 80s, incredible!!!
So happy when you’re driving somewhere in no hurry on a summer day and THIS comes on the radio! Perfection!
Such a summer vibe!
This and "Just My Imagination"
I just feel it.
Smokey Robinson is wildly underrated even with all of his fame and fortune. The guy is an absolute genius.
Agreed
This song has been covered by so many artists, it's insane. This song and Tears of A Clown, and OOoo Baby Baby are the ones to play next. He did one song with Rick James called Ebony Eyes as well.
Ebony Eyes titled song sang by Bob Welch, same song perhaps?
Best cover is by D'Angelo, in my opinion
I like the cover by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. They did it for the movie Duets with Andre Braugher who is also a good singer.
@@1177kc I'm not a Paltrow fan but I definitely have that cover in my music library.
I didn't know that he worked with Rick James! And, it's another great song.
This song by Smokey and his “Being With You”(1981) are my favorite songs by him. You can never go wrong with any of his songs.🔥
My sister, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 58, was a HUGE Smokey fan! His music reminds me of her and always brings me to tears and makes me smile at the same time❤
Thanks for sharing that. Condolences and comfort for your loss. May your sister always rest in Shalom and may her memory always bless you.
Hey brother, I’m sorry for your loss 💜 I myself have four older sisters 👯♀️👯♀️ ranging from 70 to 62. I’m the baby of the family and the only boy 🥴 and I happen to be 58 at the moment 😆 and yes, me and all my sisters were huge Smokey fans as well 🫶👏✌️
It’s my father for me. He was actually my first concert. He performed at our State Fair, and my dad always made sure we made to his concerts.
Smokey Robinson. "Motown Royalty." Singer, songwriter, performer! Just saw him perform live, last night, on American Idol.... @ 83 yrs old 👏👏👏
Smokey simply IS soul music and one of the greatest songwriters of our time!
Beautiful song. Smoky wrote some of the best music. That wonderful Motown sound.
People in the music industry today only wish they could come up with as good as this. I'm so glad I grew up when I did!
Probably one of my favorites from him as a soloist.
Snap
Smokey is so pure and smooth in his delivery that it can move you tears. This was one of his last big chart toppers from 1979. He and Frankie Vallee are the falsetto kings of vinyl.
Smokey has the sweetest voice.
J & Amber, you need to hear Smokey Robinson & The Miracles ""You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and 'I Second That Emotion"!!!!
“We Feel the Same” too!
The Bearles loved Smokey and covered You've Really Got A Hold on Me.
Geez I love the way you two beautiful people people react to these classic songs, being a 50s kid you cannot beat this music
You can't do the Smoke without doing his top baby-making classic "Oh Baby Baby" and his song that helped bring my daughter into the world "Baby Come Close"
That song is 🔥 especially the 1964 live version of it
This song is from 1979. For a "history lesson", you should hear his very early hit, "Shop Around" that was at the start of his career and Motown's success in 1960-1 when he was 20. In those early years, he wrote classic hits for himself and other Motown artists and became Berry Gordy's "right-hand man". The two are still best friends who appear on special shows together to share stories about Motown.
Such a timeless song. Smokey is truly one of the greats.
OMGOODNESS I love some Smokey he is the definition of SMOOTH.
Now this is what I'm talkin bout. Motown, my era. I feel so lucky to be growing up with this kinda music. Smokey's voice is just gorgeous 😍 As soon as he starts singing, you instantly know its him. 🎼🎶❤
I got to see him perform live some years ago. Just him and the band. So engaging, the eye contact is everything.
This song and Smokey doing "Ooh Baby Baby" are perhaps his most romantic songs. Watch a very young Smokey doing the live , black and white version of "Baby" from around 1966 so you can see him in performance and how magnetic he was. Smokey Robinson the prettiest voiced crooner of all time.
Go check out his song "Baby Come Close"
Oh, his voice! Great performer, and he is just as beautiful as his voice
I did not know what the word sexy meant when I first heard this song on the radio back in the day as a 10 year old, but I knew Smokey’s voice did something to me at a base level. Still a defining song for me in every way-Smokey is a sexy man.
I love watching you two get swept up in the music, playing along, grooving to the music! This song always makes me smile! Love and hugs to the Rob Squad🎵💕🎶
I Second That Emotion! 😁. Those of us who are old enough should be able to get my pun!
Grew up listening to Smokey. My favorite seldom heard is " You can depend on me. "
He wrote damn near everything at Motown for all the artists…. Majority of the songs.😂
Who remembers Neil Sedaka? A lot of great hits to choose from.
Love Smokey Robinson BTW.
I do, I do!!! Love Neil Sedaka. "Laughter In The Rain" just to name one.
Bad Blood!
@@cmholmes1067 yes, Bad Blood has Elton John doing background vocals.
@@debbiel.1655 Laughter in the rain is a Gorgeous song. I think it was used in a movie, but I'm not sure.
@@cmholmes1067 yes! isn't Elton John in that song too?
Smokey is absolutely the most smoothest MOFO ever! He could sing the dictionary and it would sound "Chill"! I was lucky enough to take my parents see Smokey before my dad passed away. It was a memory I will treasure forever!
A great song with great delivery is timeless. I love songs that make you float away. This one does.
Timeless classic from Mr. Smoky. They dont make em like this anymore. Ty so much for sharing. Great reaction as usual. Mark
I have loved this track since it first came out. One of my top romantic songs. Such a smooth vocal...
When this song came on the radio no one talked but just gazed into each other's eyes and gently touched each other. This generation has no idea what being innocent and anticipation really means. What a loss, 'nuf said...
I love everything Smokey writes and sings! From day 1. I got to see him in concert a few years ago and the man was just incredible. He still performs so find out where he is and GO!
So smooth. So cool. Love me some Smokey.
My all-time favorite Smokey Robinson song.
Smokey Robinson the hit maker for Motown still enjoying life 83 yrs old! I put his voice up there with all the greats and his brilliance.
Jay and Amber - wonderful reaction and Amber is right about playing this on a bad day :) Not many artists are as smooth as Smokey.
One interesting tidbit is the group "ABC" (who you recently reacted to) had a top 10 hit "When Smokey Sings" as a tribute to Smokey Robinson. Ironically, Smokey himself also had a top 10 hit "One Heartbeat" at the same time.
Check out two of Smokey's greatest songs: Tears of a Clown and Second That Emotion. Motown artists were GREAT!
Totally agree!
Lots of babies from Smokey’s music. 😍
Omg, I love this song 💜
This song (from my parents' generation) is timeless. This was my friend's first dance at her wedding reception. So smooth.
I love Smokey Robinson so much. One of my favorites. Thanks so much for this one. 😁😁
I was reading about Smokey's background and he's like a walking UN. "Robinson's ancestry is also part Nigerian, Scandinavian, Portuguese, and Cherokee." This is besides being part French on his mother's side. He got the name Smokey from his favorite uncle because he loved going to cowboy movies as a kid and his uncle used to call him Smokey Joe. It later got shortened to Smokey. Smokey was one of Motown's top songwriters, writing not only his own hits but also big hits for other artists. He wrote top hits like: My Guy, The Way You Do The Things You Do, My Girl, I'll Be Doggone and Aint That Peculiar. This was his first time meeting Berry Gordy: "In August 1957, Robinson and the Miracles met songwriter Berry Gordy after a failed audition for Brunswick Records. At that time during the audition, Robinson had brought along with him a "Big 10" notebook with 100 songs he wrote while in high school. Gordy was impressed with Robinson's vocals and even more impressed with Robinson's ambitious songwriting."
Did you know that Berry Gordy and Jimmy Carter are cousins?
Love Smoky❤ 2 of My all time favorites by him are Here I Go Again and We’ve Come Too Far to End It Now!
I saw Smokey in a 2,000 seat theater about 10 years ago, I had front row seats so close you could see his green eyes. He was incredible!
Smokey was always a big hit in my pre and early teens. Anything by Smokey was FINE!
I love Smokey Robinson! He was one of parents' favorite singers. Motown was my parents' music period when they were growing up. That's how I came to love him. My parents played his music in the tape deck of our family car in the 70's when I was small. I was listening to Smokey at 4 years old before my little brother was born. I'm 49 now.
Other Smokey Robinson and The Miracles songs:
1. I Second That Emotion
2. Tears of a Clown
3. You've Really Got A Hold On Me
4. Mickey's Monkey
5. Oh Baby Baby
Smokey as a solo artist:
1. One Heartbeat
2. Just To See Her
My favorite Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song was "More Love." But his biggest hit was "Tears of A Clown."
One of the most romantic voices. He is def his name, Smokey. Beautiful song, makes u want to slow dance or snuggle with ur sweetie. Thanx so much, stay groovy, Peace
My favorite Smokey song.
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: "Tears of a Clown", "I Second That Emotion",.....are 2 of the songs you should listen to.
Smokey is responsible for getting the Supremes on the Motown label.
Read his bio. sometime to see all that he's accomplished.
You really need to delve into Smokey's music more as well as all of the Motown groups. Some of the best music of the 60's and 70's came out of Motown.
What a journey back. This song will do it every time. Thank you, smokey for the music.
Amazing!🎶 Smokey was on American Idol this season and still sounds amazing🎤 He did his new song and it was great.🌟❤
I saw Smokey Robinson perform in Atlantic City, a dinner theater type show. He sang his hits with the Miracles, his solo hits, and hits he wrote for other artists. For most of the songs he would explain how he came to write it before singing it. At over three hours in I had to leave because my date had to use the bathroom and the rules were if you left the hotel ballroom you couldn't return. That was over a decade ago. For all I know Smokey might still be there singing.
First comment! Great song! Check out "Being With You", "Ebony Eyes" (with Rick James!), and "Pops, We Love You" (which he did with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Marvin Gaye)!
Quiet Storm song and album too!
3 words: High School Dances! Brings back such wonderful memories. Smokey's voice and tone. MWAH! Chef's kiss 👍❤️
Love your channel ❤️
Outstanding!!! Reaction!!!
Smokey is truly one of the best of ALL TIME.
BOB Dylan called Smokey one of his "FAVORITE POETS"..
I love this song so much. Me and my husband have cruised together for 42 years and I would not change anything. I was 16 and he was 18 when we got married everyone said we didn't know what we were getting into but they were all wrong
I know what you mean, I've been with my husband 35yrs. Since age 17 & 19...Something in that Motown music.😉
Not only did he make a career out of singing. But he also made quite a few careers for others with his songwriting. This same song helped launch D’Angelo’s career.
Not just soul music, but music for your soul
Smokey Robinson’s talent is out of this world
Taking nothing away from the great Smokey Robinson, but there's a good cover of this song with absolutely amazing harmonizing by the real singer between the two who did it. Huey Lewis & Gwynneth Paltrow starred in & did that cover of Cruisin' for the 2000 movie 'Duets' - put it back on the charts again! In fact, Huey Lewis & the News went back and recorded an entire album of oldies from the 50s & 60s; worth checking out.
One of THE BEST slow dance jams for when you want to get up close and personal with that special someone! Smokey is a legend!
Good advice, Amber! I see you, girl!
Smokey is still smoking!
He’s talented, timeless, ageless, nice, and those beautiful eyes!!!!!! Wow, he got it all!
Blessed by his God given voice.
Such a good song. There is a movie called duets. It has Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis singing this. I looove that version too.
I really like that one too!
Agreed, she and Huey were great in that movie!
Paltrow and Huey Lewis from the movie Duets. I love that movie. They should do that one on movie night!
That song was a nice hit for them, and the song got more attention than the movie...but I enjoyed the film. Cool seeing Huey in that role!
Yes!
Oh man SMOKEY, I actually ran in to him at LAX after the Motown special where Michael introduced the Moonwalk. He's pretty tall and so handsome, thanks for the memory 😊
This song is such an easy listening tune cruising, chilling such a sensuous voice
Nowadays with the way gas prices are you would need to take out a loan to go cruising! Many of you youngin’s are here because of this song 😂❤❤ much love a huge smiles robsquad family 😊❤
This song is smooth and was released in 1979! Smokey Robinson is a legend who still performs! Since his days at Motown where he performed with the Miracles and wrote so many songs for them and other artists at Motown! He is a musical icon!❤❤
Love love this song!❤
I have ben listening to Smokey Robinson since the 70s, The Miracles and solo, and am a big fan. I remember when I first really listened to the lyrics to this song. Smokey you naughty man. Still a hit in my book though. "Being With You" is one of my favorites. Hope you two do that one and more of his music.
This song came out much later in his career. I was already a huge Motown fanatic, when I heard this on the radio I went out and bought the single that same day. If honey could sing it would sound like Smokey Robinson. There's a great single called "when Smokey sings" that you guys should definitely check out see how his musical peers think of him
Without looking it up, I believe the band ABC did the song "When Smokey Sings." I wouldn't call them his peers because of the decades between them as well as the fact that Smokey Robinson has few peers at all. One of the best songwriters of all time. In fact, Bob Dylan famously called Smokey Robinson "America's greatest living poet." The highest praise!
An all time vibe..top 5 songs all time..perfection
There’s yacht rock, but I would argue there’s also yacht soul, of which this is the prime example. Soooooooo good! You can never go wrong with Smokey. Another awesome solo hit of his you should check out is “Being With You”. But like I said, it’s impossible to go wrong with anything Smokey! ❤
I was so lucky to see Smokey Robinson play live just last year. He’s still got it!
Love Smokie Robinson since I was teenager in the 60's. He's still going in the 90's when he came out with this song. I have all of his music on vinyl record albums. I use to fall asleep listening to him! ❤❤❤
Smokey has the best voice and eyes!
Love this, so smooth,always on my playlist!
When it comes to love ballads, Smokey Robinson is simply the best of the best--Mr. Quiet Storm.
One of the smoothest, angelic voices ever. I feel like I am in a dream when I listen to this song, floating along on billowy clouds in the sun with blue skies above. So good!
I Almost spit out my red wine when Amber said that, as we are chilling on the deck with our red wine here in NC😮and 😮 listening to this groove.
This reminds me of my old neighborhood, growing up. Summer days on school vacay, playing with your friends. This song wafting in the air in the distance from someone’s car stereo on Summer evenings. Good times, for sure. Miss those days SO much! Years later, I got a chance to meet him and get his autograph. I can tell you, he is as smooth in person as he is on wax. ❤️
Awesome song with tons of memories! Smokey Robinson has an an amazing voice. Motown gave us a lot of talent.
No one has been, or will ever be, as smooth as Smokey! Saw him in concert a couple years ago and he hasn't skipped a beat! If she wasn't worried about breaking her hip, my 60+ year old wife would have thrown her granny panties on the stage!
Can't go wrong with Smokey. One of a kind. One of the original Motown artist. He helped get the Temptations going. He and one of his Miracles Ronald White, wrote the Temps hit, "My Girl".
Ah yeah. Smokey. When he came on the radio everybody sang. Such a great sound of smoothness.
I hear this song his voice and it's summer time. Laying out with baby oil in the sun. And having to get up and dance. Great memories he brings back ☮️
I watch for Jay's smile..if his teeth are showing, I watch til the end! 😁👍 From 🇨🇦. Been following them since the very early days...I love watching younger people enjoy tunes from my youth...born in 1958.
Smokey had the best voice out of Motown, in my opinion. Every song is so good with that voice. I lived 50 miles north of Detroit, Motown was huge in the 60’s & 70’s till it was over, unfortunately. Thank you for playing Smokey, hope to hear more!👍👏👏 💙💖xoxoxo
L❤VE this song!!! My husband and I would listen to his music non-stop when we were dating years ago. This song is our favorite❤❤❤
When Smokey sings, perfection.
This is one of those timeless songs. This will always stand the test of time. The singer D'Angelo did a cover of this song, which was pretty hot, on his 1995 debut album, Brown Sugar. You guys might want to check out that cover one day. 😊
When I think of GREAT Smokey Robinson songs in the 70's, this is one of them!! You have to hear 'Quiet Storm' (So influential the name became a radio format) and "Let Me Be the Clock". he also had hits in the 80's he's that great!
This song was Smokey Robinson's first Top 10 r&b crossover hit of the 1980s. The song did peaked at the #4 spot on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Soul charts in the early winter of 1980. Some people considered this song a "quiet storm" song of the 1980s as well. A beautiful song indeed!!!
You can't beat Smokey... but you guys love Huey Lewis too, he did a version of this song in the movie Duet. He does a "duet" of this song with Gwyneth Paltrol. You might want to check out the movie too
Smokey did a duet with Rick James called ebony eyes which might be worth a reaction!!
