This is a good example of how life’s not fair. How can one man be blessed with a voice this good, and I can’t even sing a note? Smokey’s been out there a long time, and no one can come close to equaling his melodic voice. He was, and is, the best in the business 💪🙏
Just love this song. It brings back so many wonderful memories of yesterday when slow dancing was the thing at Detroit's Graystone Ballroom and the twenty Grand..SMOKEY
I am 18 years of age and I wish I had a singing voice like this. Smokey Robinson is in my opinion the greatest singer and song writer to have lived and I am blessed to have been brought up with his music
Listen to "More Love." That song was written in tribute to Claudette after the couple suffered yet another miscarriage. I was 12 when I bought that record, and have played it a million times since. Brilliant, iconic performance that started me listening to Smokey and the Miracles. 54 years later...
I cried when I saw him in person (Circle Star Theater 1989 San Carlos,CA) and he sang this song. His voice was crystal clear, a beautiful instrument then and now. Nobody can sing and make me feel like Smokey can.
John Lennon called him Motown"s Genius in 1963. The man can still sing his songs today.Plus all the songs he wrote for the rest of the Motown team. He is truly a miracle, with a hell of a lot of discipline and hard work.
My God folks relax and listen to Smokey and that sax player and the whole arrangement of this timeless classic. This is pure Detroit soul with a touch of tenderness.
This man performing this Classic song,I mean he stirs the entire soul,this performance right here yeah! Cold 🚿 shower coming soon, I mean he should have gotten a standing ovation for this one here,he definitely use every vocal he's got 👏👏👏👏👏👏😍🚿🎶🎵💃💯
no Patrick Gallimore sam cooke is the world best male vocalist this is who smokey robbinson marvin gaye and otti redding model themeselves after, check sam cooke out before you make that statement
Patrick Gallimore Smokey does not model himself after Sam Cooke. Sam came before Smokey but just like there's no one like Sam; there's no one like Smokey. Smokey's inspiration was Barrett Strong and Billy Ward; not Sam Cooke.
Patrick Gallimore I think that woman is better than him and women in general

Donna I'm sure he thinks he must be a boxer lol and what is it ! people keep making ludicrous statements like he or she is the best ever. Oh well if you cant beat them I'll join them Lol ! So my nomination for the best in class must surely go the one the only the magnificent the inimitable MR LEROY HUTSON ! Clap clap clap clap clap etc !
if you are not in love this song makes you want to be in love!!!!!!!!! Smokey thank you so much!!!! I can't imagine this world without your voice and word's!!!!!!
A master singer’s crooning the only way he can.... that unmistakable voice ... which just sets all who love this song into a mood filled with romance and sentimentality... ooooh oooooh baby... thank you Smokey so much for such a timeless song.
My husband and I danced to this when a cover band was singing it at The Silver Dollar Saloon! He's been gone 50 years ago! But he passed away 9 years ago 😢😢😢😢
I have been loving all of Smokeys songs and talents since 1965 ooh baby baby is my theme song and to this day I listen to it religiously of course I love every song of Smoke Dog. Got to meet him once at a concert in the park in Pasadena I was sitting next to Roland Bynum who was impressed by me singing every song Smokey sang. He asked me did I want to meet Smokey of course I did so after the show he took me to Smokeys trailer I was speechless Smokey could not open my mouth Smokey snapped me out of the fog I was in I think I said something stupid but I got a picture with my idol I think of that day all the time Thanks Smokey for making my life you are the greatest poet in the world
Smokey was always a sexy man ...Hes an excellent singer and his songs came from his heart and soul...I agree this audience should have given him a standing ovation...Damm this man is good as ever and still moves me...
debra cortright Agreed. When no one in the audience stood, I knew they couldn’t and didn’t appreciate what they had just witnessed. Pity. But so glad it was filmed so WE could have the chance to apply him!
IF YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THE MIRACLES' YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN TRUELY BLESSED. WHEN THEY WOULD COME ON STAGE TO SING Ooo-Baby Baby, IT WAS EXHILARATING. But here he was going through a bad time. But thanks be to GOD, Jesus sent Mr. Leon Isaac Kennedy, to help Smokey come back.
Wow! I grew up listening to Smokey and old soul. I dread the day when they are all gone and all we have are videos and memories. Music is nothing like it used to be. I have to make an appointment soon to see this legend!
This is a magnificent version of a much recorded and covered song. Smokey takes this to another level, his performance and that of the band is nothing short of sensational. It oozes and drips soul from the first note to the last, and his voice is just other worldly, his range and power is a joy to witness. I think Smokey has been underrated as a solo artist and as a live performer too as this shows. Thanks for posting and to Smokey and the band for demonstrating just how magical and uplifting live music can be.
I have not seen anyone yet in this generation that can perform a song like Ooh Baby Baby. The music I hear today is like "Enough is Enough, Cut the D...radio off.
Saw Smokey live 2 years ago and had tickets to see him in Tulsa this year but got cancelled because of the virus. He just gets better and hope to see him again soon. No words to describe the genius and talent of this man and his voice.
No matter who does this song, after this or before, THIS is Smokie's amazing voice and talent...."Ooo wee ooo, baby baby." I've always love this forever...
THIS BEST SINGER OUT THERE, PERIOD! SOUNDS GREAT LIVE AS WELL IN A STUDIO. VERY FEW,VERY FEW SINGERS CAN DO THAT. SMOKEY IS A NATURAL GIFTED SINGER / SONG WRITER.
I just saw smoke in Atlantic City about 5 or 6 months ago the man is almost 80 years old and still singing with great passion and energy. I'm truly his number one fan
THIS MAN MY SMOKEY HE'S LIKE MANY STRONG TREES 🌴 BLOWING IN AMIST OF WINDS BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BREAK HIM ALL MY HEART ❤️ TO YOU MR ROBERSON YOU WILL ALWAYS BE JUST 👍 GREATER AS ALL THESE YEARS YOU JUST KEEP BREZZING THREW LOOKING SO WONDERFUL DO YOU
please. Good G_d. The audience was supposed to STAND for that! they didn't even know, did not recognize. I was breathless watching this. Master performance. 1.25.2024 💖💝❤ "when Smokey sings, I hear violins."
I wish someone would create a time machine so I could give Mozart and Beethoven and all the greats a set of headphones and see their reaction to this. I would put it up with any of them. A master at work.
This is how we just saw him on the ship- what a concert. He is so beautiful. His songs are eternal. Loved him in 1968 in high school. It was so wonderful to see him in person and he still hits those notes!
I saw him tonight in Miami. He is 79 and the concert was fantastic. I had no idea he would sound so good in person and put on an excellent show. I am in awe and happy that I saw this living legend perform. Go see the him live you will never forget it.
I saw him perform at the barclays center in brooklyn. . His voice is amazing.. his performance and movements made that one of the best performances ive ever seen
I WAS IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER SHE NOT A BAD GIRL? AND EVER SINCE THEN HE OWNED ME! I TOTALLY MERIZED BY HIM BESIDE MILLIONS OF US! HIM MARVIN WERE FAVORITE SINGERS OF ALL TIMES NO ONE COME BEFORE THEM TWO IN THIS LIFE OR IF THIER NEXT ONE! NUMBER ONE FAN FOR YEARS HE TAKES MY BREATHE AWAY!
Hands down the smoothest singer ever & it's not even close. Who's listening 2024
My all time favourite tune ❤️
I'm 60 years old. Damn he still has that Beautiful. Voice. Good memories.
Man im so thankful we still have this living legend.

Listen to Human Nature's version of this song. You will be entirely impressed.
Not really. They sound like high school kids performing in a talent contest.
Crosstown Bus along with Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke !
OH MY, M, MY . MR.ROBINSON ! The only true love song ever written.2024
This man doesn't age. Nor does his music.
Amen or should I say I second that emotion.. lol
I AGREE!!!!!!! LOL
I so agree with you, I just saw him last night 7/27/22 and he looks amazing! He's 82!

When Smokey sings...the world 🎶 listens
A perfect example of "when less is more" --- Thank you Smokey for your masterful and incomparable expression of your heart.
Beautiful...should have been a standing ovation

Brings back memories in 93 when my Special Someone dropped to his knees and sang this to me
This is just pure talent. This man has a voice, that makes me float on a cloud. Love it!!!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Smokey is forever! This song sure takes me back to LA in the 70s did some good things and some not so good things. But that's life isn't it?
if you are not in love this song makes you want to be in love!!!!!!!!! Smokey thank you so much!!!! I can't imagine this world without your voice and word's!!!!!!
I liked the way they slowed down the tempo--sounds more romantic and pleasing.
Les Morosi yesss , good lord he can sing, wow
Surely it’s much easier to sing this song slowed down as well. Extraordinary talent nonetheless.
voice of an angel
*voice of AN angel
He still can sing ! A beautiful voice! God Bless him❣️
There are no words to accurately describe how much I love this man (and his voice). What a gift!

The smooth assassin at work. Don't think I've seen anyone in the game do it with so much ease
You got that right. A man who shares his gift and appreciates it.
Trini -- love how you describe him (The smooth assassin) lol
Honey who do you think they learned it from??????
Only the late, great Sam Cooke did it better!! That's who inspired Smokey...
A master singer’s crooning the only way he can.... that unmistakable voice ... which just sets all who love this song into a mood filled with romance and sentimentality... ooooh oooooh baby... thank you Smokey so much for such a timeless song.
Raw Talent!!! It doesn’t get any better than this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this man put me in a good mood . His voice is angelic 😘😘😘😘😘 BRAVO!!!!!!

Her name is Pat Henley
Smokey was always a sexy man ...Hes an excellent singer and his songs came from his heart and soul...I agree this audience should have given him a standing ovation...Damm this man is good as ever and still moves me...

They were stunned
Couldnt agree more smoke is a fine man his voice is like silk always gives me chills..

I'm from Detroit, and know Smokey family. His sister Gerry Burston. He's a living legend.
He puts his heart and soul in his music despite the fact that he is saying these songs over and over again. He is truly Beyond a legend
I have not seen anyone yet in this generation that can perform a song like Ooh Baby Baby. The music I hear today is like "Enough is Enough, Cut the D...radio off.
I don’t think the audience appreciated just how superb this performance was. Wish O could’ve been there. That was legend.
Give this legend all his flowers while he alive dont wait until he pass start bumpin shit 2020🔥🔥🔥

The sound of the saxophone makes this song so great combined with the smooth soothing voice of Robinson in this live performance

Smokey Robinson has the best voice on earth 🌍I would love to see him in concert and a auto graph by him before he passes

3:00 that whole back and forth get me everytime especially when she singing and uncle smoke hitting the yeahhaa

Me three I saw his show at Reno Hilton back in 1997 he is the greatest. Singer to my opinion 💝
Always wanted to have Smokey sing for my girl at my 2nd wedding.
"One Heartbeat" would be the song. I never found the 2nd girl. :(
I saw him perform at the barclays center in brooklyn. . His voice is amazing.. his performance and movements made that one of the best performances ive ever seen
