  • It doesn't get much better than this. Such passion in that performance it brought pure joy watching it.

  • Why 3 thumbs down?

  • @araikenn 'cause some people are assholes

  • If Crack is whack then BOTOX is WHOCK...

  • Platoon

  • She can sing most anything and god she is hot

  • I only know of this song because James Maslow. haha

  • Gold! Thanks for posting.

  • I've only heard the song ,because James Maslow has sung the song! ^^ :p

    if you think so !!Thumps Up!!

  • Comment removed

  • boy ya fucked that song up

  • FREAKING AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!­!!!

    

  • FREAKING AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!­!!!

  • Singing a duet with Annie must be terrifying. You never know what she's going to do.

  • Two amazing performers and Annie is awesome but sorry, she can't hold a candle to Smokey.

  • @skywarp75 Wow I thought she rocked it.

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

  • Annie Lennox' voice got so much balls.

  • Love it! Annie's appearance is magic!

  • Oh man, you can tell how in the moment Annie is while singing this song!! Completely and utterly taken over by the music! I Love it!!!!!

  • I think she was happy like oh wow I am up here with SMOKEY!

  • These old videos just get me. I love them. I agree, Annie made him work on this one, but he caught up to her at the end.

  • dis song has my heart absolutely beautiful

  • Smokey and Annie....you can't get much better than that!

  • Awesome song, awesome singers.

  • that was great!!

  • Wow! Annie is really singing in a low register. Sounds great

  • is it me but the volume is a bit low..

  • warm!

  • Love His Beautiful Grey-Green eyes, take that Derek Jeter Lol

  • I love Smokie but Annie Who? She didn't need to be on that stage messing up a classic. Looking like a drunk lady at a karaoke bar. This is a Smokie Robinson classic where Smokie should stand alone.

  • @dmann16xs --- Jeese... Wake Up Bud!! --- Annie Lenox is one of the Finest Voices on the Planet... and It looked to me like Smokey was having a bit of trouble right from the start... (but considering his age I think he did very well.) --- Besides... if you Know the Original Lyrics, the song was Writen to be a Duet... Annie Lenox Filled the gap well, and I must say it was very unusual to hear her sing so Low and soft as to not Over Power Smokey. This girl uses Aretha Franklin as a back-up singer.

  • @MRG2112MGV please she looked hokey, and off rhythm and she was trying to push a song that should flow nice and smooth, she did alright at best but as anyone can tell it was Smokey's song and she was just trying to get a little piece of it. My advice to her is practice harder before singing with the master! lol

  • @dmann16xs

    Annie did not add to the song music wise, she did look like she was high on something.

    Annie being higher than boeing 747 made her look emotional through out the song.

    Also her clinging to Smokey did add some sexiness to the show.

    But I could have sang better than Annie while in the shower.

  • Two ikons complimenting with mutual respect one another for the geniuses that they truely are !!!!!!

    RESPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you Smokey & Annie.

  • Awsome

    Thanks for posting!

  • WOW

  • vocalists are great, but the backing music is fairly poor...

  • Goosebumps

  • Best male singer of the past 50 years his voice is like being on a Cloud, Cloud sorry Nat king cole Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis

  • @mrscox27 lol

  • Very good, works a treat with two amazing singers

  • AMAZING.

  • Bob Dylan was asked by an interviewer to name a favorite poet of his and his answer was Smokey Robinson.

  • @godhelpme2009

    Great answer by Dylan. :)

  • Oh I never seen this before. Thank you very much!

    Greetings from Ingrid

  • Thank YOU for this! My favourite Motown song/singer and favourite female singer - what a combination!!

  • Fantastic love this shame i missed him inconcert

  • "my smile is my make up I wear since my break up with up"

    Every time I hear it, it's like hearing it for the first time. The classic genius of Smokey Robinson. Wonderful.

  • The lyrics are poetry. If you read them (don't sing them) out loud, without any music, you'll see what I mean.

  • ohh i LOVE mr robinson and ms lennox :) Two legends singing a beautiful song

  • I think his voice sounds airy because Annie has such a powerfully strong voice.

  • I'm sure that I'll get tons of thumbs down but I don't like this at all. Smokey and Annie do not mix very well. I don't mean any disrespect towards them, but this just isn't very good.

  • @GX2Photography agreed but it was a fund raiser

  • I never get tired of listening to Smokey Robinson

  • There voices blend really well together. Smokey Robinson is phenomenal, I love listnening to him sing. And Annie Lennox has a style all of her own.

  • AWESOME!!!!!

  • Great performance!!

  • I always thought that Annie made Smokey really sing hard on this one. It was like she was saying, come on man, that sweeet singing you've done for decades is cute, but let's really sing this song!!!

  • always loved them both... smokey singing "U really got a hold on me" on Sesame Street. annie lennox has always been awesome.

  • good taste in music, dude... or dudette

  • absolutely amazing... wow

  • smokey robinson has got to be in his 60s he was big in the early 60s

  • It kinda cracks me up that not only does she take the lower part, but she sings the song better than he does! :-D

  • Our Smokey Robinson album was lent out in the 70's and never came back

  • great first 59 seconds...

  • congratulations 50 years tamla motown

    part of my life and happiness!

  • any1 know what year this is from?

  • He is really good looking.How old is he here?

  • Smokey is just plain gorgeous and a great man of God

  • ...world class stuff; those two are born for the stage; never seen this; cheers so much for sharing :)

  • i meant and ** not nad lol

  • love his face when he realises the crowd knows the song nad love him, the little smile he does is cool

  • Awesome! They had so much fun :P

    I miss my girl... LOL, what a loser!

  • Ok I got little misty eyed on that one. Phew!

  • I am glad they got together.

  • long live motown

    and the music of

    the funk brothers

  • Watch her when she says "You're the perma...nent one" to Smokey-- there's so much deep feeling and she moves her eyebrows like "Yeah Smokey there's no one else like you!"

    So much passion. This is rare.

  • VH1 doesn't have good performances on like this any more...a shame!

  • I remember being at this VH1 Honors event in LA. It was my first time experiencing Annie Lennox and I was completely blown away. Thanks for for posting it.

  • dam i wish i could rewind back time, i miss the old days, but postings like this, gives me 4mins off memories, and freedom.
