SMOKEY ROBINSON - and i don't love you - "the funk collection"

[tas6010]

The 'Essar' album spawned two important singles, one of which you are hearing now. It is an up-dated version of a song Smokey wrote for the Four Tops back in 1966 called "Then" from their 'Four Tops On Top' album. The second single was a radio edit of 'I Can't Find'. This is not to be confused with the version on 'Love Smokey', which is done at a faster pace and isn't as good as the 'Essar' version. The 'Essar' album has never been issued on CD that I know of.

This is a great song,this should have been a big hit for smokey robinson.Live on 1984,smokey is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Why this wasn't the biggest hit of the 80s, I don't know. Great great song.

I forgot what a great funky song this was. It hit #106 on Billboard Hot 100 chart. It hit #33 on Billboard R&B chart. Nobody does it better than Smokey !!

Been looking for this song forever. This is one of Smokey's best songs both lyrically and musically. This is from the album "Essar," which I think came out around the time of Marvin Gaye's death.
