rare unreleased Motown Claudette & Miracles 'Mr Misery'

[williamg2552]

If Motown had let Claudette and Bobby do more leads with the group,(instead of all of the leads going only to Smokey), maybe their name would've stayed simply "THE MIRACLES"....and maybe THE ENTIRE GROUP would have been inducted into the Rock & Roll HALL OF FAME instead of just Smokey alone . This is a GREAT SONG...It definitely would have been a HIT.

This is great - and yes, wouldn't yuo love to grab a stack of ten at $7 and find this?! thanks for posting!

I always felt this song was like the preamble of the Motown sound for some reason. It was recorded in '62 if I'm not mistaken. Either way, Miss Claudette sounds adorable as usual. I love the way the song echoes out at the end. It's so cute.

@MotownMaster It says in the title, its an acetate!

[MotownMaster]

@hackerhifi oh cool you got an acetate to tthat

One of Motown's blunders: Not putting Claudette Robinson (Smokey's wife) out front more often. The sweetness of her voice & demeanor is not captured in this posting because the treble is turned down to minimum. Good song if you can hear the full treble as well as the bass.

WOW....!!!

hiya soulhoney another good track

[hackerhifi]

Thanks for your comments, I love this track and I agree, this should have been issued as a 45!

Quality Motown from the early years and still sounds great today!

Tremendous. How and why was this left in the can? This would have been HUGE!!!

Thank you so much for this posting. Claudette Marie Rogers is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I wish so much there was more information about her. The "First Lady of Motown" was amazing in voice, person, and appearance. God rest her beautiful soul.
