LOVE whatever happened to that word, don't hear it much in todays music,I was raised on this music and I wish it was that way now,BUT everything must change, nothing stays the same. Wonderful post keep up the good work
well i was on the scene when the man first hit the scene lol oh yeah one of my favorites and i have everything he ever made....dang!!!!! wish i could go BACK! thanks for the post (tears in my eyes...but i aint no clown lol)
I remember just loving this song because Smokey put the "12 Days of Xmas" spin on it - recursive verses - always BIG fun to sing.
A group of us would sing it with or without the music - over and over - each attempt workiing hard not to forget what came next - adding in our own little rifts...
I was about 8 years old and we little ones would always sing along when it came on the radio. No osbure lyrics, no filth, nothing make your mom say "what?" LOL
Let's try 40 years and putting mirrors on your shoes so you can look up the girls dress. I was in 7th grade at Hess on the West Side of Chicago and the guys use to do this. bilbo2shire
Yes indeed. Great memories. This music put such joy and happiness in the air with it. Those days are long gone..but thanks be to God for the good memories.
You're welcome. I'm glad you have enjoyed that record. It's one of my favorites by the Miracles. When we were kids (I was 7) our parents did not have a problem with us singing these songs. Nothing like some of the junk that is out today.

the vocal is a little different than what's on their anthology cd and a few words near the fade at the end.

You got that right. This was the best music ever, and Smokey was the best songwriter. Pure poetry and rhythm. What more could we ask for?
