Yep, Smokey turned a Negative into a Positive. After being rejected to be the opening act for Jackie Wilson Berry Gordy took them under his Wing, and after making on $3.11 on Their First Single Got A Job, Smokey told Berry You're a Cat who knows music why work for the man, be the man. He borrowed a then unheard of amount of $800.00 bought a House stuck a Sign that says Hitsville USA and the rest is History.
He was about 25 in this Performance. In the 1960's there's no way you could go to a Party and not Listen to this Song. In a Movie called Heaven Help Us aka "Catholic Boys" the Boys from St. Basil's High School, and the Girls From their Sister School Virgin Martyr slow danced. He's doing what's known as Falsetto aka The High Voice. Also keep in mind that alot of R & B Groups had a Falsetto. Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations (RIP) and Russell Tompkins (The Stylistics). Smokey worked with these guys overall from 1954-1972 but when he was getting all of the attention. It's 1965, and he was 25 since he was born on February 19th 1940. Also February 19th 1985 was the debut of The UK Soap Opera Eastenders.
Back in the early 2000s I saw Smokey in concert in Atlantic City. He sang hit songs he wrote for his group the Miracles, and songs he wrote for himself as a solo artist, and songs he wrote for other artists. Three hours in he was still singing. I had to leave because the chick I was with had to use the bathroom. For all I know he might still be there singing.
Smokey has the sweetest voice ever put on record. That high sweet voice is one of the most distinctive in music. I saw him 5 times during this period, the early 60's, and believe me he and The Miracles always delivered. This IMO is better than the recorded version because you really get to see the passion with which Smokey sang. Of course Smokey is still alive and performing at the ripe young age of 80. Long life Smokey. Listen to him doing "Tracks Of My Tears", "Tears Of A Clown", "You Really Got A Hold On Me", "More Love" and "Cruisin' ".
He was once called "America's Greatest Living Poet" by Bob Dylan. His Songs have been sung by Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, The Marvelettes, and in future years his Songs have been Covered by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kim Carnes, Linda Rondstadt, The Jackson Five, and En Vogue. In The UK his Song "Who's Loving You" is now the most popular Auditon Song on The X Factor. Also his Songs have been used for Companies like Certs, Burlington Coat Factory, Sunmaid Raisins, & Walmart. It is 1965 and he was 25. This was from a Show sponsored by Murray The K Kaufman who at the time was one of America's Top DJ's.
The song was released in 1965 by Motown; Producer was Smoky Robinson. He wrote and produced a lot of music for Motown artists back in the sixties, and other artists in the seventies and beyond, as well for himself. He is 82 years young, was born 1940, so in 1965, when this song was recorded and released, he was 25.
Satori it does my heart good to see you getting in touch with the old school music of our culture. Music is such a big part of lives got us through a lot of hardships. You can't go wrong with old school.
That was 1965, the year I met my late husband. It was our song dancing to the jukebox at Victors party store in Ecorse Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Smokie was a heart throb back in those days. Motown had taken over the world of music. The flavor is unreal.
I'm from Detroit and your right about Motown my mother told me about the vibes in Detroit at that time and what yall were doing as teenagers and young adults. I was born 3 years after this performance my mother was 21 years old.
Detroit in the house !! Had to be in the 60's when Motown was putting out hit after hit. Smokey is about 80 years old he's still looking good and has the same voice !! Check him out !!
THE MIRACLES were MOTOWN RECORDS’ First vocal group. They consisted of SMOKEY ROBINSON, BOBBY ROGERS, PETE MOORE , RONNIE WHITE. There were also TWO OTHER MEMBERS Of The Group: MARV TARPLIN, (Playing The Guitar BEHIND them) and SMOKEY’S WIFE, CLAUDETTE ROBINSON, who was not on stage for this show, because she retired from all live performances in 1964, This clip was filmed LIVE at the FOX THEATRE in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1965. All of the MIRACLES were in their mid 20’s, and Color TV was not , at the time, available everywhere.
This was before my time but my dad used to play this and I fell in love with the song. This and Cruisn Together also by Smokey Robinson. These were Motown 60's jams.
My sister and I had a huge crush on Smokey. This was in 1964 I believe, I was 15 at the time. Motown music in Detroit Michigan. Every song he sang was fabulous!
As far as Smokey Robinson's age when he sang this, maybe 19 or 20. This was in the beginning of Motown and they had just made it big with "Shop Around" so he was pretty young.
This is one of my fav ever songs. So glad you discovered it! Sydney justin did a fabulous job on this with the miracles. Search you tube for ooo baby baby the miracles live.
This song was recorded before Smokey Robinson went out as a Solo Artist. This is, "Smokey Robinson and The Miracles." My father was in this group-one of the Miracles. He also co-wrote this song with Smokey as well. Thanks for posting this and your reaction xoxo Love and Millions of Blessings. The year was 1965. Smokey Robinson was 26 years old. They all were in their 20's, living in Detroit, Michigan. Where Motown originated.
You hear all the little girls SCREAMING for Smokey? He has always been SO good and his voice is so unique. NO ONE sounds like him. This is my very favorite song that he's done. Recently, he performed it live in an episode of "Live at Daryl's House". It was SO good!
Smokey!! Has his own sound! I saw him live one time and he sounded the same as all his recordings. He wrote even early on much of his own songs as many other soul singer of his day..Check out one of his Solo songs when he was in his 50's called "A Quiet Storm" the title album of the same name. He was Motown Records (nicknamed "Hitsville" in Detroit) one of the biggest and the brightest! He never had a bad song!!
Smokey my first big Idol, those beautiful green eyes, while he serenades you. Pure magic. Wanna melt. Yea, still. P.S. love your reactions. I've got practically all of yours, recorded. Mellow soul, jazz and upbeat. Phenomenal!
OMG, ❤️ ❤️ loved your reaction; you look like Smokey messed you up or was it the B/W. This is a classic. I grew up with my parents, aunties and uncles playing this music so fasten your seatbelt. Smokey is an OG songwriter, singer for real.
This was one of the BEST love songs ever written. This song has been in numerous movies (Cooley High, Good Fellas etc..)...it always amazes me, how an iconic song such as this, has never been heard by SOME younger ppl.? My godson is 16 years old and he's heard this song and RESPECT by Aretha. Maybe it's because I'm a movie buff and so many of these older songs are included in the soundtracks. At least Satori, you're now listening to your musical lineage history.
Year: 1965 Smokey's Age: 25 ~ They don't make these love songs anymore. ~ You want to jam off a romantic vibe, stick with these classic oldies. Much Love, Itia ~;-) P.S. Share these songs, this uncomplicated love in lyrics and vibe with your "whomevers". Love that you have shared them with us. Your reactions, pure inner joy. Like your heart is smiling. ;-) ( Glad I found your channel ) ~!
The 60s I wasn’t even born yet !! But this is some good music good for the soul ! I been listening to him and the Temptations this whole weekend because the movie was on BET
Oh my, this is an old song (in the 60s), when he was with the Miracles. I love this song, good taste my brother. He was also a songwriter for many of the Motown singers and groups. Mr. Satori My G, welcome to my world of great talent and singers, etc. We partied all the time on a little money.
Smokey is silky smooth. Now and ever he's a crooner and master song writer. Check out The Agony and the Ecstasy and There Will Come A Day (I'm Gonna Happen to You) Also check out Teena Marie singing this song to Smokey at his tribute. It gives me goose bumps they way she tore it up for him.
Detroiter here and an ol' head. Historic milestone. This is back when we were excited to see "us" on tv. Few of us were on tv and when we were it was somebody's maid or chauffeur.
Get the recording ('65). Also watch the movie Cooley High from the 70s for some context, you'll hear some more great Smokey and Motown music. Smokey wrote a lot of the Motown hits including "My Girl" by the Temptations.
Watch the movie "Cooley High" alot of his songs is played in this movie and Boyz to men song "How do I say Goodbye". One of my favorite movie the song I believe came out in 1965 @satorimyg
Please, please, dig into Smokey's catalog. Here, he is with his group the Miracles--Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Check Tears of a Clown by them too. He was one of the founder's and the head songwriter a Motown, as early twenties. Check his work with Rick James in the 1980's (Ebony Eyes is a cut), when he went solo.
This Song came out in 1965. Smokey was 25 years old. The boy can blow can't he?!! This Song and Ebony Eyes w/Rick James are my favorites. To be honest though I love all of Smokey's Songs.
He's Singing Falsetto. If you were in a R & B Group, you always had to have someone sing "Falsetto". Russell Tompkins in The Stylistics, Eddie Kendricks (RIP), also White Acts have also sung Falsetto. Jordan Knight of New Kids On The Block as well as Justin Timberlake, and Robin Thicke. He was 25 when this song came out. He was born on February 19th 1940.
No Autotune..no fakery in the studio ALL the Performers we actual singers! Motown had the greatest stable of singers under one roof in the history of Music. Smokey Robinson has four songs in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, A Grammy, He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, He has the Medal of Freedom and the Gerwshin Awards. Not bad for a kid from the projects. Also his name Smokey according to him, was give to him a a kid. Not because of his voice, but because his unlce gave him a cowboy name Smokey Joe. Kids played cowboys and indians back then.
This was recorded inn1965. He was 25 years old. I don’t particularly like this clip, his voice is vibrating like crazy. That’s a beautiful song and it was a big hit. Smokey can still sing at 81 years old.
Smokey R. was two years younger than you( 25 ) years old. This was in 1965. That's why it's in black and white. Smokey R. is super talented and gifted with that honey smooth voice even at 81 years old. He wrote numerous songs for artists in Motown.
That's Smokey Robinson and The Miracles and the Miracles were not just making hand gestures, they were singing background. You'd have to listen to the recording to hear them a little better. Back in the 60's, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were the BOMB!
@@dlove7141 hi my name herman here is some song for from 1961 shop around, whats so good about good bye. ill try something new. would i love you. ive been good to you . everybodys got to pay some dues. start with the year 1961. smokey is about 19 or 20
Motown Early 60s I’m guessing and all the songs back then were all recorded in Detroit at Berry Gordy’s studio Hitsville USA. Linda Ronstadt sampled this. Smokey’s still singing and still great
Smokey Robinson and The Miricles along with Dianna Ross an The Supremes, and "Little Stevie Wonder, all werte the first stars of The Motown record label in Detroit. Smokey was smooth. How could I forget the Queen of soul Aretha Franklin. "RESPECT - just a little Bit."
BOY SMOKEY IS FINE AS HELL!!!! I KNOW HE IS CLOSE TO MY PARENTS AGE BUT HE CAN STILL GIT IT!!!! LOL ❤❤❤❤ MY PARENTS MET HIM AT THE AIRPORT ONE TIME AND THEY SAID HE WAS VERY NICE AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT HALF AN HOUR WIT NO SECURITY ... BUT THANKS TO MY PARENTS OUR HOUSEHOLD LISTENED TO THE WHOLE MOTOWN. AND THEN SOME!!!!
This was a wonderful, soulful, heart-wrenching performance by the master of soul, Smokey Robinson. Please be clear and tell us if you liked it, loved it, or hated it. You left us hanging.
![SMOKEY ROBINSON - OOH BABY BABY (COUPLE REACTION | LYRIC BREAKDOWN!) [MOTOWN MONDAYS]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/s96haOwLx6s/mqdefault.jpg)
The co- mastermind of Motown! He wrote a ton of songs for them and started the business with Berry Gordy. A musical genius.
Yep, Smokey turned a Negative into a Positive. After being rejected to be the opening act for Jackie Wilson Berry Gordy took them under his Wing, and after making on $3.11 on Their First Single Got A Job, Smokey told Berry You're a Cat who knows music why work for the man, be the man.

Smokey was so young in this video. This is a OG song. Heard these oldies all the time playing when I was a kid
Super young lol
Please react to Rick James and Smokey Robinson “Ebony Eyes “

I don't care who chooses to cover this song, Just leave it alone. Smokey got this song for eternity.
Real Talk…
This came out in 1965; I remember it well. Smokey was so smooth.
I was born 3 years after this performance.

The man is musical Genius. The LEGENDARY Iconic William Smokey Robinson 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
It was the Mid 60’s - and Smoky is still super fine and killin’ it! He and Aretha were childhood buddies in Detroit.
When Smokey sings,the group can just stand back and groove.

Smokey is a musical Genius
Motown Early 60s I’m guessing and all the songs back then were all recorded in Detroit at Berry Gordy’s studio Hitsville USA. Linda Ronstadt sampled this. Smokey’s still singing and still great
You see peace on the face of every black person who ever listened to this song
