I had never heard this song, I was sitting and watching with my parents. My mom said...wow I have NOT heard that song in so long. It used to be played so often, and then it disappeared. I, for one, am so glad I heard it tonight. Amazing! Lesson learned don't forget the people that worked to clear our path. I am blessed to have heard this song. Music to my ears and heart ... <3

His version with THE MIRACLES was much better....ESPECIALLY the LIVE version from their album "1957-1972" . It was released on CD on the album , SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES: THE LIVE COLLECTION. If anyone has THAT version, please post.

Slow version was ok but give me the faster version.... I remember the first time I heard it... Made me want to go out and burn some shit down. Just kidding... man those were some wild days... Smokey's still cool...

Simply sublime

Smokey can do it all!

[Zianzio]

Smokey did an EXCELLENT job on this song. You Go Boy!!!

[Pattifish]

This song has always been deeply moving. Yes, only the good die young. Smokey has done this song justice.

An Excellent Performance!

The 50th Anniversary of Motown was the same year the Obama got elected. I've been a Motown fan since 1964 and I think that Smokey, Stevie, Levi, Diana, and we can't forget Marvin, along with the Funk Brothers, the Groups had a huge hand in advancing our society and civil rights for all. Smokey is awesome here.

I was there and it was a great concert!!!

One of the most beautiful, touching, and refreshingly simple song sung with such clarity and passion. Smokey's version of Dion's classic is the best version and always brings a tear to my eye when I sing it and thing of what might have happened if the good didn't always die so young.

Thank you for putting this up. When I saw him sing this the other night, I thought what a beautiful yet haunting version of his old classic. Thanks again!

Moving and Elegant, Smokey.

All been murdered fighting for freedom, that's were they've gone! lovely song, at least he's not singing about white women!

[DesertRatDan]

I like this slowed-down soulful rendition. I loved the original when it came out back in the day. I have to say, Smokey still has some pretty smooth vocals.
