My mother and Aunt played a lot of Motown music when i was younger. It's sad that the music of my generation doesnt know what quality is. Smokey is from a time when artist had to prove themselves and really work for their fame. Now theyre just products that come out with songs that are only "hits" for 3 months.
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
Great song. Just listening to it, I picture myself doing the slop at an 8th grade Jr High School dance. Even was able to remember what I was wearing while listening. Boy music sure can stir up the memories.
@Annettesmusic Someone else who remembers the slop! :-D This is like where were you when. I can still remember the first time I heard this song. Motown made those Jr. High school dances memorable.
Wow! People loved this song so much, that their mouse slipped while they were shaking of pure awe, and just as they were about to click dislike, it slipped again! Wow, this is what I call music.
A Top 5 hit for The Miracles in the winter of 1961. It was the start of a string of hits for a record company called Motown. And as Paul Harvey always said, "You know the rest of the story."
This great song from 1960 reached #2 for one week. (U.S., Billboard) The Miracles had 29 Top 40 hits, but their only song I like better than this one is "More Love" from 1967.
Fabulous song, lyrics, performances--also great great advice not just for young men but young women, too. If you have kids, sing them this song--no play it! But let your little girls it goes for them just as much. Way to go, Smokey!
I don't think anyone at Motown ever came close to Smokey and the Miracles, may be, Jerry Butler, the Ice Man, I loved his version of Let it be Me with Betty Everett, what a song. I may be wrong, but I can tell you having been married and now a widower, it pays to "shop around" especially in marriage. I was so blessed to be mnarried to my late wife for 36 great years, RIP Baby, I miss you so much. This is music we all grew up with, what an era!
I remember doing the mashed potatoes to this song at Berendo Jr. High School, Los Angels - Friday night dances. Oh what great memories - Paragons Class of 1964.
The mash potatoes was sweeping the country during the time of this cut. Thanksgiving 1960, I was in Chicago and they were jamming the mash potatoes. On visiting Miami to see my uncle, they were jamming the mash patatoes there. This dance craze stayed around for a few years.
@XxFeebeeBeebeexX lol I agree with you that this music was great, but to think Motown wasn't manufactured music is just wrong. The Detroit based music company actually modeled the making of music after the car industry, and tried to pump out as many hits as they could.. and they did! =)
the MIRACLES ARE THE ONE GROUP that launched the ENTIRE MOTOWN PHENOMONON!!! It wasn't THE SUPREMES, THE TEMPTATIONS, or THE FOUR TOPS...They didn't come along until YEARS LATER. It was the MIRACLES. On March 20th 2009, Berry Gordy, speaking at the MIRACLES' Hollywood Walk Of Fame Induction Ceremony..said "Without THE MIRACLES, MOTOWN WOULD NOT BE THE MOTOWN IT IS TODAY". He ought to know!!!
....over 50 chart hits, FOUR SONGS in the GRAMMY HALL OF FAME, and INDUCTIONS into THE VOCAL GROUP HALL OF FAME, THE DOO-WOP HALL OF FAME, and THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, THE MIRACLES deserve RRHOF induction more than MOST that have gotten it . Many other Motown artists did not write their own material. THE MIRACLES DID. (ALL of them...NOT JUST SMOKEY) .Plus, they wrote for numerous other acts as well...especially THE TEMPTATIONS. Over 50 of their songs have been covered by other artists !!
Why do all of you only credit SMOKEY ? This is a MIRACLES record...NOT a "SMOKEY SOLO" record . All of THE MIRACLES recorded it , so ALL of THE MIRACLES deserve credit. This crediting of only "Smokey" is the VERY reason that the RRHOF only inducted HIM, and left the other MIRACLES out !!! It's HIGH TIME that ALL of the MIRACLES recieved due credit...for their songs and accomplishments...THE MIRACLES are a GROUP... not just "Smokey and-his-background-singers."
I totally agree with you! Yes Smokey was talented, but the miricals are what made him great. His song `Baby, Baby` wouldn`t have come out had smokey not had the miricals to sing the Òh, baby, baby``.
Thats what im saying! That is the saddest thing I have heard...... I didnt know that only smokey was in the RRHOF I thought that the miracles were in there to....... I feel like doing something about it
I agree. each of them all have added something to this amzing group. Dancing, singing, anythign really. :) I love all of their wonderful musical talents!!!!!
@TheNinjasRKool That's right !! And songwriting too !! Smokey didn't write all of those hits by himself. ALL of THE MIRACLES were writing the songs....NOT JUST SMOKEY.One look at the records will prove THAT. Despite the fact that Smokey tends to get most of the credit, ALL of the Miracles were writing the songs. Just look at albums recorded by THE MIRACLES, TEMPTATIONS, MARY WELLS , or MARVIN GAYE made during the sixties - you'll see ROBINSON,ROGERS,MOORE,WHITE,and TARPLIN . (The Miracles)
@weisszil What about good music period? Black, white, country, punk, rock, soul, pop, it's all shit. (there is good stuff out there still, but most popular music is crap these days.)
@MrsArchuletaXO96 It just boggles my mind when I see people compare American Idol wanna-bes to legendary groups like THE MIRACLES ...professional artists who have had years of hits and a proven track record ....Just because contestants on a reality show cover their tunes...doesn't make them as good.....not nearly !! I guarantee you that years from now, 98% percent of the contestants who've appeared on that show WONT EVEN BE REMEMBERED by the public at large !! So much for COPYCATS .
@williamg2552 This is very good, don't get me wrong. But I just like David's voice better with this song. Of course I like this version, it's the original. And David is most certainly not a copy cat? You don't write your own music for Idol, you sing other peoples'.
Just immaging all the things we did when this was new and we were call those Kid, and statement what this world coming to if we our future depended on them we are doomed :)
I"ve always loved this song, but can't imagine why the Beatles never recorded it in their early days, when they were still doing covers. I think it would have fit them like a glove, with Paul McCartney singing lead.
They did do Robinson's "You've Really Got A Hold On Me". They should have done any and all Smokey Robinson songs!
Well what do you know. I see now in the Related Videos section that Helen Shapiro was performing this song in the early 1960s, so that's probably why.
Maybe the Beatles didn't cover this was out of respect. As a massive Beatles fan I know doubt they would have done a superb version but lets face it if we are being honest it would not have been anywhere near as good a Smokey's.
Much as I love just about all the Liverpool Beat/UK Invasion (from my US perspective!) -- I don't think a single one of their cover versions of black R&B originals was as good. But I too am a huge fan so don't take this the wrong way.
That is what I said, and no offence taken, I agree more or less. This version of Shop Around just cannot be matched in my opinion. I have to say though that I loved the Beatles cover of Mr Postman, probably the best cover that they did and I prefer it to the Marvelettes version.
