CONGRATULATIONS to The Mighty MIRACLES !! 2012 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES !!! NOW, BOBBY, RONNIE, CLAUDETTE, MARV, AND PETE will FINALLY JOIN SMOKEY IN THE HALL OF FAME !!!
@TheLaMoFo My husband was a Vietnam vet and he used to watch this movie like a desperate man seeking out for his memories. This songs makes me remember him.RIP.
how can anyone dislike this song, like really theres is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its pretty much a perfect song. the perfect vocal for simple but to the point great lyrics in Motown history
People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.. I need you, need you Since you left me if you see me with another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one..
I like the classics but I don't think that music these days is crap...it's just a different style. Things have changed and not necessarily bad...at least we can still access this music.
heres one to thnk over everyone calls todays music crap but im sure the old folks from back when this song came out probably said the same thing.... i grew up on smokey sam cooke otis redding curtis mayfield sly and the fam stone etc classic music but todays music aint all that bad lol
I love motown music!!! Its one of my faves but quit hating other music.. I mean i love rap and electronic music today its not better or worse just different.. And its not like this music is fucking super hard to compose its all lyrical its not goddam bach or beethovan so get over the fact that musics changing quit your damn hating and enjoy it all
This kinda music gets me laid alot. Im 24yrs old and most guys are listening to gangsta rap. Girls hear me playing this and they think Im deep and different.... *beng* got cha!
i met smokey robinson when i went to his house to install some chandeliers and before i can say hello he just tapped my shoulder and said your smile looks out of place .....the man knows what he was talking about and he is truely a legend at the golden age music
@ireallyreallydontkno It's because at some point in the early 1980s, music stopped being an art form and was taken over by yuppie f***bags who truly killed Rock n' Roll.
@ireallyreallydontkno Well there is one guy bringing back soul music his name Aloe Blacc. Look at my channel if you want to see him sing.I'm so happy that there's still people out there that still loves the good old classics as much as I do. And do you know what's so cool is that I am one of the new generation.I'm only 19 and i can't stand now a day music like rap and pop.Most people don't get it when they come around me and I am listening to the good classics like this. :)
@Thisismytrollingface I was exaggerating but what we mainly see in the media is usually the same genre of music. Of course it isn't 'all we have' but it's just harder to find other varieties of music, it's nice to listen to music like this every once in a while but anyway...
@xXSgtWolfXx i know right, i hate when these kids come thinking theyre all special and comment " im a 11 and even i love this song!". nobody CARES!!!!!
lol it was! i had lots of fun. my dad even met him when he stayed at the marriot. my dad is the technician there and he had to fix his tv! lol it was the best story ever!!!!
@777Rosebud You don't get any credit for your age, nobody gives a fuck how old you are, great music is great music, just enjoy it. Sorry to rant, but it is getting rather annoying to see this or something on nearly every oldies post.....I'm 29 if it makes any difference.......
@777Rosebud I'm sorry, just felt like stating what I felt!! Sorry if it offended you in anyway :s What's the point in swearing at me??? Just be polite or just shut your mouth please!! I didn't expect anyone replying to my comment, just wrote what I felt :)
@777Rosebud I agree with you, Rosebud. It's amazing that there are people out there who hide behind their anonymity and behave unnecessarily. I'm sorry he treated you like that.
I SAW SOMKEY AT THE DUBLIN FIREWORKS THIS SUMMER IN CONCERT. I WAS THE ONLY WHITE GIRL IN THE CROWD THAT WAS GOIN CRAZY:) !!!! LOL THERES NUTHIN LIKE LISTENING TO SOME SMOOTH SMOKEY. AND FOR HIS AGE IM HAPPY HE STILL HAS THAT SLAPPIN VOICE!!!
22 people just flat out suck a dick....I mean really....who the fuck wouldn't like this....you must like sucking dick something fierce....either that or you're just racist....I'm willing to bet all 22 of you are not only racist, but suck dick as well....go suck a dick you 22 cock smokers
Wow! I love this feeling! I never knew what this song was called just knew the tune and there is nothing better than finding this song and going 'ohhh thats that song' :D
What great memories this song inspires. Soulfull beautiful music with incredible lyrics and really good times.I hope everyone has this with some music.
When I listen to this song my troubles melt away :D
