The voice of Billy Griffin is so amazing. I love the Miracles who deserve respect and given the well-deserved credit for their achievements in Motown. Great song, and thanks for sharing one of my many favorite hits. 🎶 🎵
@doreenprilliman3727 I wish music was created like this again. Professional Musicians and excellent producers who made sure a song made sense. I love this music too. I refuse to listen to trash. 🎶 🎵
I greatly surprised to hear this spoken word intro, though the song works with or without it! What a great song, excellently executed by The Miracles and excellently produced by Marvin Gaye, who wrote this track for the debut album without Smokey.
Thank you @Patrick for sharing. I am very grateful❤. Smoke this song is SO BEAUTIFUL❤. Songs that I have never heard before❤, ALL of them❤🔥🔥🔥❤. I happened to see someone’s comment saying that this will be their wedding song. I know that’s right. Smoke your songs will DEFINITELY be my wedding❤night/honeymoon/life songs❤. God has really blessed you with a mantle of love❤. I wish that these songs could be re-released. I am sure that many others will love them as well❤. You are an AMAZING soul❤. We love and appreciate you so very, very dearly❤. Sending love with lots of hugs❤.
My brother played these kinds of ballads. I think Marvin Gaye produced this piece. You can hear the instrumentation echoing through this. Simply beautiful. I wish there was an instrumental to this. I would sing this all the time. I was about 10 years old with a big afro.
I Love this Introduction from William "Billy "Griffin. This the First Post Miracles Single Without William "Smokey "Robinson. This Song was also Written By the Man Himself Marvin Gaye. Sounds So Beautiful.
Was thirteen when I heard this 🎵 🎶 song nothing but family, love, and memories. One of the greatest love song ever written and sang by the miracles. Thirteen with a bullet. Thanks peace and one love 💘 from LA. Inglwood in the house 🏠 😍
I have never heard this version before. This is such a beautiful beautiful song that it just makes me teary eyed because it’s so beautiful!!! I still have my original vinyl Renaissance album and later on I bought a CD version. I just love the artwork and how they looked I would just look at them and admire the artwork on the album so much when I was a teen.I wish this version was on it. Billy Griffin was so underrated and never got the recognition he genuinely deserved as far as I’m concerned. He is a very good singer and he was gorgeous as well!! I love you Billy!!!❤️ Thank you for posting!!
I Totally Agree...This is a Soul Masterpiece That Touches The Heart Filled w/ Memories Of That Special Time When U r Floored by Lo♡e Itself...The Sincere Delivery of Billy Griffin n Those Harmonies Of The Miracles Make This 1 a Standout!! Thanks 4 Letting Me Bend Ur Ear -- Peace, COCHISE 🎧😎❤😎❤😎🎧
And after we left there! We went to your apartment!U Didn't have Lights because you couldn't pay the bill! So we sat in the Dark at your Piano with candles burning and you dedicated a song to me.a song we sang together I Love You Secretly! That You Wrote and You I Sung together!
Hi edagdwg thanks You tube for sharing this story of what happens when you have a true feeling for someone and God bless you both with the gift of forever love soooooooo blessed to have this gift linda j.☮️☮️☮️🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
when i brought this album from berdel's on nostrand ave and Fulton st(Brooklyn)in 74" and played this song,i said,damn, Billy sounds better than smokey (to me)still playing this renaissance cd all the time in 2021...billy should have blown up with his voice...PS:thanks CJ for the post of this gem...
This was a great start without Smokey. His touch is all over this magnificent first album post Smokey. I've been in love with this album since 73, - 2023 and beyond .
@@brotherfugue Ah man. That's a wonderful message. Songs like this and "You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart" by the Stylistics. They speak to me. Also "I wanna get closer" by Switch. That's what love songs should look like for me
@@themax316 I am a music JUNKIE. If you want to hear the genesis of I Love You Secretly, check out I Fooled You This Time by Gene Chandler and Fork in the Road by The Miracles. Tell me what you think!
@@brotherfugue I know "a fork in the road" but I haven't heard of the first one you suggested. I'm Rey excited to have a listen on my loudspeakers. I'm guessing you are familiar with The Notations "I'm still here". "Fork in the road" is so good right?! Those backing vocals on that melody. Something about music telling the story of unrequited love is very powerful. It's like Denise Williams "gonna take a miracle". Need me a girl that digs these kinda tunes.

Los hispanoamericanos tambien disfrutamos de esta pieza musical. Saludos
Billy griffin one of the best falsetto singers ever silky smooth.
Having traveled around the world so many times I felt this song was written for me exclusively 😢 David Ruffin Gonna Walk Away From Love. Cut
One of the best ballads ever sung. Impeccable.
One of my favorite old school love songs!!! 💖🖤💖
I've been looking for this version for years please don't ever remove this version from TH-cam!
That's the Night!U confess your Love!I Love You Kenneth Stover!
I've got this song on repeat! I just heard it for the first time a couple of months ago. I love it!!! I love Smokey Robinson and The Miracles!!! ❤❤❤
That's not Smokey singing. It's Billy Griffin. Smokey had already left The Miracles.
완벽한 명곡중에 한곡 최고의 음악!! 전 이 음악을 사랑합니다
Billy Griffin took over for Smokey with the miracles
Yes my kinda music adorable 🎉❤

This is such a Beautiful song. ❤️🥰
I Love this Introduction from William "Billy "Griffin. This the First Post Miracles Single Without William "Smokey "Robinson. This Song was also Written By the Man Himself Marvin Gaye. Sounds So Beautiful.
Lyrics sounds like something Marvin Gaye would write , also the difficult background vocal arrangements , Yep ...Marvin Gaye,
Marvin was so incredibly talented.He also wrote and produced records for the group,the Originals.
I love every song in this Album “The Renaissance”

You’re Welcome!

I second your EMOTION.
Hi where did you get the Cd
Record Store is no longer there.
Vinyl on a turntable, 74' for sure!
The reason I remember this song was because it dedicated to me!
this my song beautiful their voices and harmonies they dont make like no more i cannot understand these songs now in days not all of them im og
I love this jam
I really enjoyed dancing to the slow songs.Not everyone knew how to slow grind.Theres a technique that i mastered.Good Times!!!
You kill this jam
"Renaissance" (1973) was the debut album by The Miracles via Motown Records.
This was a great start without Smokey. His touch is all over this magnificent first album post Smokey. I've been in love with this album since 73, - 2023 and beyond .
Yes indeed!!! I wish that I could find this version though. I love this and still play it to this day.
My husband says this reminds him of heaven he's in love he says love you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful
Thank-p
I think your beautiful...
Love this version
Eu amo secretamente. Que bom ouvir música de qualidade.
Verdade!
This is the baddest version
So romantic. This song is so heartfelt.
I love this song
Love it still ❤️❤️❤️
Been looking for this version with intro for years
Exactly why I called it the biggest secret on TH-cam! The fact that you sought this version out is what separates us from casual listeners.
@@brotherfugue Ah man. That's a wonderful message. Songs like this and "You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart" by the Stylistics. They speak to me. Also "I wanna get closer" by Switch. That's what love songs should look like for me

@@brotherfugue I'm on it right now.
@@brotherfugue I know "a fork in the road" but I haven't heard of the first one you suggested. I'm Rey excited to have a listen on my loudspeakers. I'm guessing you are familiar with The Notations "I'm still here".
"Fork in the road" is so good right?! Those backing vocals on that melody. Something about music telling the story of unrequited love is very powerful. It's like Denise Williams "gonna take a miracle".
Need me a girl that digs these kinda tunes.
Listen to the harmony of the miracles (love you)
Thanks CJ! That's the jam
You’re very welcome
Thank you cj
MARVIN !!!!
So sensual❣️
Great group, never made a song I didn't like.
I'm listening in 2022 as well 🤗
Music for real
nothing like those good old slow jams
reminds me of all those basement parties and hookie parties
pretty song from me to u..
The absolute most mesmerizing song I’ve ever heard. Thank you Lord. Djlady
This is super slick I don't know what they talkin bout
Billy ain't no Smokey or Marvin but he can Sang. Oh yeah. 🎤🎼🎶🎶👍
