Me too. When I worked in London we were a mixture. Enjoying each other's food, culture, dance and most importantly music. Tbh the UK is the best place in the world to live, we all get along and celebrate our differences
Who could possibly give this iconic song a thumbs down?? With everything that’s happening in today society closing my eyes and really listing to this beautiful song brings much needed happy tears to my eyes.
When he was a child, he was nicknamed "Smokey Joe" by his uncle because of his love of cowboy movies. In his teens, this was shortened to Smokey. and there you have it!!!!!
This song is sooooo smoooth, it put me in very mellow mood. I put on repeat an just sing and dance along. I love it and remember from years ago lovin it. Back then. Now I am 70 and love you SMOKEY ROBINSON still for all your songs
I once read an interview with Smokey, when he said "I've got an OK voice - I can carry a tune." Hmm - and there I was, thinking he had the voice of an angel! Wonderful song and vocal performance by the great man.
Soaring soul from the Smoke of them all: The great Bill "Smokey" Robinson, singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, co-founder of Motown, a true gift to ALL the soul of America, forever and ever.
MARV co-wrote this song with Smokey, (along with numerous others) and was inducted with the rest of the original MIRACLES into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2012 .
I never really understood the deal about Smoking Robinson. Until I heard this song that it. The first time I heard a snippet of this song, my friend wanted to change it to the Piña Colada Song with Rupert Holmes, so I didn't get to hear the full extend of it. But in those few seconds, I immediately recognized his genius. The Piña song really is a piece of shit when you think about it. So, when it was over, I immediately switched back to my new found genius. What a natural performer, what a band, love the backup singer, the contrast is astonishing!
Music with so much meaning, finesse and expression of feeling. Music that bends the soul in all the right ways. Thank you Smokey Robinson for this song; a masterpiece!
This is still HOT! Smokey brought it w/ this one. I can remember my mom listening to this when I was a child and here I am still enjoying the same song as an adult. You have to respect these older cats for bringing it like they did. They made timeless music. True artists! Nothing like the microwave r&b singers today who just release music because they have 2 lines that rhyme. This is the truth right here! Much love
This gives me “chills” every time. As a toddler in the 80’s,I can still recall my brothers playing and moving to this with friends and girlfriends lol. Those are the good old days. I knew great music from them on. Now, I’m 49 myself, and I’m still cruising’ lol to Smokey. Love my brothers to death.
At least old school singers don't stop singing to ask the crowd to sing along or stick the mic out for the audience to sing. They get paid to sing and that's what they do.
I Love Smokey! Sound so good I honestly thought he was lip singing, but he was in his Prime at the time I guess. I met Mr. Gordy, Melvin Franklin and Smokey once and that day was a Wonderful memory because all of them were kind and courteous to me! Just Class personified!!!
Classic Smokey. This is one of my favorites. His style has never been duplicated. There is only one Smokey Robinson. He still sounds fabulous after all these years. Keep singing Smokey, you will always be one of the best.
Great song by a premier, natural countertenor. People often think he is singing in falsetto but it's his natural voice, except for an occasional "ooh", or "ahh". The title reads "Smokey Robinson & The Miracles" but this song is from his solo era. Great stuff!!! Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Can you think of another song as smooth as this.Smokey is smokin on this cut.Makes me want to pick up my high school sweetheart and go for a long Sunday afternoon drive. 30 years later I still love you Lydia.
Awesome to see this Smokey sing this Awesome song LIVE with The Miracles behind him! I saw him sing LIVE at Saratoga Springs Jazz Festival in 90's & a woman passed out in middle of his song, literally fainted & Smokey stopped singing & came to edge of stage & in sweetest voice asked "is ahe ok?" & wouldnt continue singing until he knew she was ok. We all lost it we were so blown away!❤❤❤😂💖
Hi Everyone, Smokey Robinson was the best, Smokey he is a Legend!! I listen to him everyday. I have downloaded all his music to my Computer / Cell phone he is an Awesome dude Love you Smokey!! Thank for all you do
I,could listen to him,all of the time!! He's, such a talented Singer ! I,do believe a lot of Pregnancies happened while couples,were listing to this one!!
This song sounds like its 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989,1999, 2009, 2019.....its time less ! It could have been #1 ever one of those years. Thank you again Smokey for this Masterpiece !
Smooth was so blessed to have grownup with such beautiful music. When songs had such pure real meaning. This is a sexy song, not like the harsh foul language you hear with alot of songs today. God Bless Smokey

Yu said that !!
OMG Awesome... Smokey ..such a good feeling song...so mellow....

Definitely 💯
The essence of a musical genre! … well probably never see anything like this again.
One of the sexiest songs ever...I loved roller skating to this song! When this came out, I was 18, almost 19.
Smokey Robinson was born on February 19. Same as me. Love Smokey. The King of Cool.
Doesn't this just melt you?????!!!!
thank you dad for playing this at home when we were growing up
Thank god for music writing geniuses that touch the heart and soul.
64 moon trips and I still love my old Motown
One of the best of all times singer in my world... Never ever heard him miss a note from anything he sang...
The best period
I once read an interview with Smokey, when he said "I've got an OK voice - I can carry a tune." Hmm - and there I was, thinking he had the voice of an angel! Wonderful song and vocal performance by the great man.
The humbleness in him no wonder the old artists even grew old with their talent they respected the gift from God
Loved you on Daryl's house pretty Kool.
I was 15 when this incredible song broke. It dominated radio. And is STILL BETTER THAN ANYTHING today!!!
A timeless classic. Never gets old.
Gotta give AllState credit for bringing this gem back to my playlist...
WOW! THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I EVER SAW! SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE CD!
solomon swane
I was thinking same thing..like wow
@@electriccellist Who's that?
Sad that this is only the record, crying for a live stage performance of this!
I think he was a little hoarse when he recorded the song originally
Smokey at his sensual best. Pure soul!
This is the most beautiful song in the world. It can transcend me to a different place, a different time. I love it.
I get in moods where I will just play this on repeat. The mellow tone of this song just never gets old.
guitar man pluck strings sound like bird talkn
0:38...
Pure perfection!! I dare the ladies and gents to NOT melt with each other when listening to this aural dream together...
Soaring soul from the Smoke of them all: The great Bill "Smokey" Robinson, singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, co-founder of Motown, a true gift to ALL the soul of America, forever and ever.
Smokey one of most underrated best of all time....cya
I don't think underrated. Smokey always pushing new talent in front because that's the man he is 💖
God I Love This Song!!! Smokey Knocked it out of the park!
MARV co-wrote this song with Smokey, (along with numerous others) and was inducted with the rest of the original MIRACLES into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2012 .
Heard the tail end of this song on my way home from work today. Had to come home and find it on RUclips. Love Smokey! What a classic!
What an absolute classic. So smooth with Smokey.
My Goodness...THE best song of all time. Period.
In my top 5 Smokey, Teddy turn out the lights, just my imagination and summer breeze and me and Mrs Jones - cue the music akexa, take it away 🎧🎶💖
Mr SOUL and he's qualified from A to Z in the field of MUSIC, there's only voice like this man and its Mr SOUL SMOKEY.
THE BLACKSTONES

To truly appreciate his genius, you have to look at his list of songwriting credits.
"if you want it, you got it forever! this is not a one night stand!"
I didn’t even exist in this era and I love the music it’s like I lived it before idk what it is that gives me nostalgia feelings
Love to all who appreciate this song ❤️❤️
this is one of the best songs ever nobody like smokey
Music with so much meaning, finesse and expression of feeling. Music that bends the soul in all the right ways.
Thank you Smokey Robinson for this song; a masterpiece!

Simply the best. wow come home from work. relax a little, pour a glass of wine turn down the lights. light a candle and play this song. wow
You have to give credit to teddy too - turn off the lights, light a candle
At least old school singers don't stop singing to ask the crowd to sing along or stick the mic out for the audience to sing. They get paid to sing and that's what they do.
OLD SCHOOL DOO WOP THE BEST!!!! 77 yrs old and still rockin' PHILLY GIRL!!!!!

Classic Smokey. This is one of my favorites. His style has never been duplicated. There is only one Smokey Robinson. He still sounds fabulous after all these years. Keep singing Smokey, you will always be one of the best.
