I am now 61 years old and the key to understanding me is to understand that some part of me is still 13 years old and in love with Smokey! This still is my FAVORITE of all time song and singer. They just don't make them like this any more.
Once, in my 30's, I took a friend to a live "Smokey" concert. She really had never heard of him. But she took one look at him, smiled wisely and said, "You can tell he knew his Momma loved HIM!"
That is his charm. He knows he is LOVE and is LOVED!
I love this song! Please, check out the IreneConti acoustic version of The Tracks of My Tears, she is amazing and she is my sister :$....I love her xD
I just love this song! Everything about it, the lyrics, the guitar opening, the whole thing! It is magnificent and like someone said previously - Smokey is so handsome in this video! It's a true classic and nothing can or will come close to touching it EVER
This song always reminds me of that part in the movie 'Platoon' when all the guys are all there singing along to this song, just taking it easy and having a good time.
THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS was written by MIRACLES members SMOKEY ROBINSON, PETE MOORE and MARV TARPLIN.
It is the group's MOST HONORED AND MOST COVERED SONG .
It has been inducted into THE GRAMMY HALL OF FAME, has been entered into THE UNITED STATES LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, and has been honored by ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE as one of THE 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME.
"People say i'm the life of the party cause i tell a joke or two. .. although i might be laughing loud and hearty, deep inside I'm blue".... ......I LOVE IT!!!! The songs from back then had so much originality and it was so creative. It's not like the music of today...These were real artists that sang from the heart and it meant something. This music is timeless.
smokey is sexy

As a 30 year old that was born in 1981 I can say that I, for one, yearn for more music like this. God, I love this song

You know what would be a great Mashup. This song and Duffy's "I'm Scared" from her Debut CD.

Great song, performed to perfection. For me I have to give the edge to the Linda Rondstat version... but that's just me. This is still fantastic!

THE MIRACLES were MOTOWN'S FIRST GROUP. They were the ONLY MOTOWN GROUP during the Sixties that wrote and produced their OWN MATERIAL .
They had the label's FIRST MILLION SELLING RECORD (Shop Around),and their success paved the way for ALL OTHER MOTOWN STARS.
THE MIRACLES also have the distinction of having more songs inducted into THE GRAMMY HALL OF FAME than ANY OTHER MOTOWN GROUP.
