Your right you completely don’t but if your not familiar with Durand Jones and Arron Fraser give this a listen it blown me away Smokey Has even complimented Aron on his voice ruclips.net/video/xivCx_OYgPo/видео.htmlsi=1SZH9dCt3Y1RpLXz
Ever hear of Barry White, Bruno Mars, Michael Bublé, Bryan Ferry, Sting or Harry Connick, Jr? Yes, Smokey’s one velvety smooth crooner but these other artists are also instantly recognizable IMO. What we don’t hear nearly enough of anymore are meaningful, slow, love song’s!! ❤🎶🥰
Blows my mind when I realize he’s doing this likely without classes, no internet, not many to learn from, just pure raw talent. It’s amazing, very few people get blessed.
He truly is the godfather of Motown. He wrote or co-wrote many motown hits, produced many motown singles, led his own group, and had his own successful solo career. Motown wouldn't have been nearly as big without Smokey.
I Heard him speak on his interview Mr Smokey been truly Bless in all his work his style I love the way he answers when the interview man ask him question he come back with his answer so politely, He is Motown Best person to be so young to start a career in music, writing songs Smokey is Just Fabulous Man he has a good spirit within his soul he 83 and still doing his thing such a Blessing 🙌 I love to hear him sing Mr Smokey Keep it moving.
oh yes - impossible to listen to Smokey sing this song without the heart responding...not to mention several other body regions. Saw him recently in concert at his age now of 75 and it's no different -- he makes this song so personal.
My favorite part is when the Miracles turn their backs to the microphone 2:22 and then come back in, right on time with Smokey singing.... so smooth, so dramatic.....truly a gangster move.
Motown records was modeled after the ‘magic musical movie factory’ Hollywood movie studio MGM: The unshakable rules; everyone sings, everyone will learn the approved dance steps and everyone will be on time for rehearsals, otherwise they will be at Warner bros Pictures making gangster movies. Barry Gordy ‘sampled’ that formula for Motown Records and Tamla Records. It worked beautifully. Ask David Ruffin what happens if you broke the rules; you were out!
The sweetest voice. When a relationship meant romance and commitment. One of America's greatest songwriters. Hearing this makes you fall in love all over again. Everybody, hold the one you love close and listen to this. Now make it mean something.
Smokey is a legend.He has withstood six decades in the music industry,a milestone achievement,and seen many changes in the music,and is still performing,that alone says everything.👍🎤🌎🌹😍🎹🎺🎻🎷🍹🎉🎼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No body but smokey could melt your heart and make you fall in love with him over and over again. So many haters not to like this music oops some like to be called disrespectful names I'm just saying.
The Miracles were not a "backup entourage". They were ALL ONE GROUP....INCLUDING SMOKEY. Smokey Robinson was a member of the Miracles too. They were Motown Records' VERY FIRST group, in fact .the OTHER members (all originals) are: PETE MOORE, BOBBY ROGERS, RONNIE WHITE, and Guitarist MARV TARPLIN. (Yes, MARV was a Miracle TOO.) To learn more about the history of this important group, read this : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracles
“Backup Entourage?” THE MIRACLES were a GROUP, and SMOKEY was a MEMBER !! They are even CREDITED as a GROUP!! Smokey was NOT a SOLO ARTIST in 1965. He was a member of THE MIRACLES !!
Just watched the Supremes, Temptations and now Smokey, sometimes I just need a Motown fix. Thank God for Utube. But more than that, thank God for talented black singers of a bygone era.
Why is it that The Supremes and The Temptations are ALWAYS credited as GROUPS...but when it comes to Motown's First and Most Important Group, THE MIRACLES, you guys always only credit ONE MEMBER ? Smokey was a Miracle TOO, you know !!
Daymn man Smokey was THE SHIT. What a talented person and cool cat. This still sounds amazing all these years later. Not a lot of music in ANY GENRE sounds better than old Motown.
At 75 y/o now, this is STILL, my All-time, #1 song. From the spring of '65 ; I was 18 y/o, & I just knew, I'd always be young, handsome, &invincible. -----------I saw Smokey & The Miracles, 4 times from '68, to '72. They were awesome . ----------------------MJL, 75 y/o
I agree, this is my all time favorite song! What a voice Smokey! They don’t make ‘‘em like Smokey, Eddie Kendrick or David Ruffin or….so many other Motown stars whose music I truly miss.
Dangg smokey!! i didn't know you was that fine back in the day good lord heavens have mercy he was a pretty boy please let me go back please so i can marry him!!
I grew up, listening to this man. My mom and dad(RIP)had excellent taste! Smokey at his FINEST!!! OMG. He sent chills through my body. He sang that from the heart. i’ve heard plenty of remakes, but no one, I repeat, NO ONE IS GOING TO EVER OUTDO THE ONE AND ONLY SMOKEY ROBINSON !!! I LOVE YOU SMOKEY!!!❤💋👏🏾
I love the fact that instead of saying that he cheated, he said my heart went out to play. So creative. I should of used this line in a couple past relationships.
Smokey, Smokey Smokey I was but a young girl listening to your songs & watching your career flourish on 45's & 33" on records and record players, but I'm a grew Woman now & looking at your performances with the Miracles, Diana Ross a favorite along with Aretha Franklin & the chemistry you bring to the table Smokey I look & can't take my Eyes off You. Your Love for Music & the Talented Artist you surround yourself with the MAGIC you bring. OMG🎉 From a Woman of today. I have truly enjoyed watching the way you looked at those women with so much Love , Patience and Attention it touched my heart as well 👌 Brilliant Artistry U Smooth Operators. 10 STARS 💢 4U
Hello 👋 Joanette, how are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Keating woodman am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
It's impossible for a human voice to sound like that, unless of course you are listening to Smokey sing! In fact, after all of these years he still sounds that good! Amazing talent & class act like no other. One of the greatest performers that I have ever seen in concert. Keep on Smokin' Smokey............
No doubt the best EVER musical expression of a BROKEN HEART! There's no one who can pour his heart out into a song like our Brother in Christ Smokey Robinson... he doesn't just sing this song - he CRIES it! And somehow it's always soothing, no matter how your heart got broken! May God bless you always, Smokey!
"Old School" Cool !....when brothas had class and style. Smokey , to me was the coolest of the cool ... I work in fashion and I get compliments on my dress code , but I always pull up this video and remind myself that I need to tighten up my game . I love the way he loosens his tie ( without missing a beat "Mind You")... this video is the epitome of COOL !!!!
I feel as though I grew up with Smokey and Aretha because those were the days when the music had a message that made you react to it!!! You felt that you could embrace that special guy and dance all night!!! You can’t listen to the music of the Miracles and Smokey Robinson’s voice without reacting! There is so much emotion to interpret!!! His music has been played during era of music that evolved from the 50’s to the 21st century.
Every time I hear that song, I cry😢 It reminds me of my high school sweet heart. He's married now and happy, which makes me happy too. I'll always keep him in my heart, the one I let go. 😢😢
Man, I am 13 years old in Junior High School. It is 1965. My school has kids in all the colors from all over town . How we grooved to this tune!!!!!!! That was when we were all together!!! How I wish we could have kept that magic.
I remember I dance this beautiful song with a gorgeous beautiful chick friend. Whata great memories thank you for playing it so we all can hear it. Best wishes to all…
Hello 👋 Lynda, how are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Keating woodman am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
@@KeatingWoodman404 Hi, I am doing fine thank you although feeling rather full after a wonderful Christmas dinner. I do love the Countryside, could never live in the City. I am in Nottingham UK, close to Sherwood Forest, where I live with my dogs, horse and chickens. Colorado must be amazing !!
Growing up in the 40/50's as a white person, I often wondered why there was such hatred against these people of color who possessed such talent...Now in 2016 I have finally realized that the issue is this: These amazing artists of color possessed a talent that many white folk Do Not, And Never Will..and they are hated for it!...Envy is an emotion of destruction!
smokeys voice is so beautiful. he has so much emotion in his words. most singers don’t mean what they say in their songs but he truly sounds like he means his words
I love that this is a live performance. Many performances from this time lipsync to the studio recording. It's so lovely hearing Smokey feel the music in real time!
I said it once, and I'll say it again...this is one of the most beautiful live songs ever sang when it puts goose bumps on ya what does that say..Smokey is the Epitome of what people say is a beautiful voice...not to mention I'm from Detroit hehehe :)
Wow, I got goosebumps and chills watching this stunning performance. What a beautiful,smooth, soulfful voice Smokey Robinson has. He is a Motown legend and mjusic royalty. I love this beautiful, romantic song so much. ♥♥♥♥
True talent. The performances were amazing back then, not all smoke, lights, backup dancers and all the things that distract you from the lack of talent these days.
+Terry Keene I don't mean to start a flame war or conflict, but what about music without words? Composers and soundtracks seem to be growing in popularity these days.
I thought I seen every one of Smokey's live performances? This one is a gem. It captures every thing about him vocalistically. He is strong and vulnerable at the same time. That is the essence of soul music and he will forever be the king of it. The way he sings this song slays me. It's devastatingly beautiful.
This came out in 1965 the year I was born.Still a timeless classic.And Smokey with his silky smooth voice and good looks must have had to fend off the ladies with a whip and a chair.
First song I ever sang as a child (as far as I can remember) and my mother heard me and encouraged me..I don't know how old I was, but I know it was before Pre-School..I think I was three...song had been out already for nine years, but my mother played this, Sam Cooke "Darling You Send Me", Jackie Wilson, "A woman a lover a friend" a lot on 45's in the seventies....that encouragement made me fall in love with singing..those songs hold a special place in my heart
THESE SONGS BRING BACK GREAT MEMORIES OF THE NICE BACK YARD PARTIES WE USED TO HAVE, IT WAS KNOW SHOOTING, MAYBE A FIGHT NOW AND THEN WE HAD COOKIES POTATOES CHIPS TUNA SANDWICHES AND PUNCH IAM 68 YEARS OLD NOW BUT REMERNISING ON IT BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES, AND YES WE STILL HAD TO TAKE OUR HINDPOTS TO CHURCH. AMEN
The original Lightskin. This brotha was taking them left and right! Honey-silk voice with that range!
But the group wasn't playing on the light skin. That was not an issue.
@@imbees2 they didn't have to, but the girls knew 😉. Lol
In my opinion there has never been a song as pretty as this one :)
+Cary Pappas I agree 100%
True words. I have played this song a million times.
Cary Agreed
He has some other great ones to many to choose the best.
Agree
You dont hear voices like this today......You knew exactly who this was when he came on the radio!!!!
Your right you completely don’t but if your not familiar with Durand Jones and Arron Fraser give this a listen it blown me away Smokey
Has even complimented Aron on his voice ruclips.net/video/xivCx_OYgPo/видео.htmlsi=1SZH9dCt3Y1RpLXz
Ever hear of Barry White, Bruno Mars, Michael Bublé, Bryan Ferry, Sting or Harry Connick, Jr? Yes, Smokey’s one velvety smooth crooner but these other artists are also instantly recognizable IMO.
What we don’t hear nearly enough of anymore are meaningful, slow, love song’s!!
❤🎶🥰
One of the greatest. Singer/Songwriter!!!!
My mom swears that Smokey Robinson could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
She ain't nevah lied! shyt! He could sang yo drawz OFF!
She’s right!
Lol she right
Im sure he could 😁
Yesss!!!
If we would have only this music today today would be a much happier world! No?
Concordo
Yes yes 💯
Blows my mind when I realize he’s doing this likely without classes, no internet, not many to learn from, just pure raw talent. It’s amazing, very few people get blessed.
and its soo beautiful....
He truly is the godfather of Motown. He wrote or co-wrote many motown hits, produced many motown singles, led his own group, and had his own successful solo career. Motown wouldn't have been nearly as big without Smokey.
Pretty much all of them 😉
He's a the Motown King
💯
arguably the greatest song writer off all time
True. He shoulda been #2 in charge @ motown and in charge more
I Heard him speak on his interview Mr Smokey been truly Bless in all his work his style I love the way he answers when the interview man ask him question he come back with his answer so politely, He is Motown Best person to be so young to start a career in music, writing songs Smokey is Just Fabulous Man he has a good spirit within his soul he 83 and still doing his thing such a Blessing 🙌 I love to hear him sing Mr Smokey Keep it moving.
All you young guys walking around with your pants down...
The is the essence of what young men look like. Take a picture. 📷
Oh, yesssss‼️
Essa musica é muito boa.
This song is literally about this young man cheating on his girl he's not exactly some gentleman😂 such a good song though
Smokey 's voice was the Miracle..so pure, so vibrant, so angelic....
Yes indeed, that was perfectly said.💕🙏🏼
FEW singers can OPEN UP to that degree without cracking and NOBODY has the high range of this man.
oh yes - impossible to listen to Smokey sing this song without the heart responding...not to mention several other body regions. Saw him recently in concert at his age now of 75 and it's no different -- he makes this song so personal.
Vitality Massage tons of singers can "open up" whatever that meant
Wow this song takes my breath away Smokey can sing boy it hits you deep inside when Smokey sings beautiful beautiful song
Hey Vitality!! I agree. Smokey is like the Yma Sumac of male singers. You got me into Celine btw!
M.J. maybe
Bob Dylan said Smokey is the greatest poet ever that a hell of a statement especially coming from him
Greatest love ballad of ALL TIME! No need for discussion or debate, Smokey wins!
Smokey unloosened that bow tie. He had to get all the way in that thang Lol
That song, those eyes, that face, that voice!
My favorite part is when the Miracles turn their backs to the microphone 2:22 and then come back in, right on time with Smokey singing.... so smooth, so dramatic.....truly a gangster move.

So true!

True for most, but really true to a sweet blackberry like you. Black just gets sweeter.
So on point with your comment, before its to late.
INSANESWORLD6
Yes before it's too late. When you make it mean something the world isn't quite so insane.
every song he sings. ..is smoken hot. I never get tired of listening to Smokey Robinson since I was a teenager. > 3
Smokey is a legend.He has withstood six decades in the music industry,a milestone achievement,and seen many changes in the music,and is still performing,that alone says everything.👍🎤🌎🌹😍🎹🎺🎻🎷🍹🎉🎼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This man was gorgeous 😍😍
You got the chance to become great
and you made the best of it and that's why you are the greatest of great ❣️‼️
OMG 😱 Smokey was so handsome I would've melted being in his presence. Beautiful man right there❤❤❤❤
Been singing for 60+ years and he still has it!
OMG!!!!
That 20billion dollar face, the silk voice, that backup entourage with the precision moves...I needn't say more.
No body but smokey could melt your heart and make you fall in love with him over and over again. So many haters not to like this music oops some like to be called disrespectful names I'm just saying.

of THE MIRACLES !!
He has so much passion, one of the greatest.
Ikr?💙👌🏾🙏🏾
Smokey took everyone to school. No smoke and mirrors here folks, just pure talent
Smokey's vibrato is legendary!!
Came to listen to this banger after seeing someone sample it and chop it on insta 🔥🔥🔥
Just need the full version from them
Background singers moves are epic!! They're so smooth with it!....the snap with the hand cross....killin it!!! #TheMiracles
A lot of people didn't catch that. Nice and smooth.
And not overdoing anything. That alone draws the eye.
Highest point of t performance

smokeys voice is so beautiful. he has so much emotion in his words. most singers don’t mean what they say in their songs but he truly sounds like he means his words

I love this song , it touches my heart ❤ reminds me when my husband Steve and I had an argument 47 years ago, and he came and sang this song to me. ❤❤
Without a doubt the best song ever to slow dance to. 50 plus years and counting.
this song is the best damn smokey he poured his heart out hope she took him back... man this song made me feel good his voice pure sexiness

I just LOVE THIS SONG!! oooh Baby Baby!! Smokey Robinson!! The man is a POET!! Such Style,Class and Grace!!!
25 year old Smokey, wow. He was a baby here! Love this song!
that was pure feeling,what a woman to inspire smokey to write such raw,naked emotion in such a perfect song
Some voices are just so unique and can't be duplicated, Michael Jackson and Smokey Robinson are two of those voices. What awesome talent!
This is my wedding song. Smokey is the best singer of this song and all of his creation. A true gift to society
Smokey, whenever I hear this song I melt. I did see you in person and it was something I will always cherished..

I fell in love with Smokey when I first heard his voice, but when I saw what he looked like..... I wish I was Mrs Smokey Robinson.
