  • What a song and what a singer! Just wonderful. Seal's new version is very good but does not match the original.

  • I love dis song!!!!

    

  • I just love Smokey, what else can I say.

  • COOLEY HIGH :)

  • @KOREDOTMAN15 not to be rude but who cares if your your 19 and listening to this song. is that suppose to make you special? well my point is this is Timeless music, so it shouldn't matter what age you are. but its good that you know what real music is :)

  • Such a soulful sound, its like u can feel the emotion he is singing

  • ive never really heard music like this before that voice melts my heart

    damn

    ive never had this feeling before

  • Awww shit...

  • I love you Karina Nieto forever and always babeee<3

  • Im only 19 n know this is ABIGTUNE!

  • love it!!!

  • Can you come out to p l a y?

  • Play with ba-bay

  • This was during the era when women acted like ladies and expected men to be gentlemen. if there was a lady in the group, she was portrayed as such. Intimate moments were subtly implied not X-rated comments demonstrated by the artist and an exotic dancer. But back then people had more "home training" because "Big Momma" took care of the kids. Commercial day care facilities can be sued for "keeping it real." Big Momma could hande any issue without fear of repercussions.

  • i love this song always and always will

  • Who is the chick with them?

  • @matrox

    Claudette Robinson ex wife of Smokey

  • Im 20 years old, i was raised on soul, r&b,rock,rap,classical,jazz,po­p and have heard the best and worst of all of them. I feel bad for my generation, who will never know the work and the musicianship of these people. It repersented a time of struggle and progression for African Americans as well the rest of America. I will not say that all music today is bad because there is still good enjoyable music if you look for it, and sometimes i even enjoy the bad stuff with a guilty conscience.

  • @latenightheavy well said.... not a lot of young people of your age would concur with you. the generation of then as this song represents 'us" and the progression, fight, willpower of every decade that creates an era. Hopefully younger cats as yourself acknowledges what our ancenstors, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles etc went through constant bitter humiliation so we could enjoy thr fruits of them. WELL SAID

  • Can you just imagian the world with out birds singing in the trees....that's how I feel now that all these guys are gone now...it's a sad day for music for sure !

  • Why can't songs be made like this anymore? The harmonies are sung perfectly. In my opinion, a song can only be attractive if its elaborately written and sung. Unlike some of the popular feces we call music today, this is incomparable. 

  • this is one of those melt your heart like butter on a warm day songs. my, how I miss this type of super-romantic stuff these days! And I'm extremely grateful this mooshy-romantic junk was popular when I was young! I fear today's younger people get way too much sex and not nearly enough romance and moosh!

  • Great Sample 

  • The vocal harmonies are glorious

  • 13 people have GOT to be def.

  • I love this song by the Miracles. Smokey Robinson is a musical great, with his writng, arranging, and singing.I recorded Ooh Baby Baby, without instruments in 2010. It s on Brucevob on You Tube. Im no Smokey, but check it out. Comments are appreciated.Thank you.

  • I didn't understand why my mother loved Smokey so much. As I got older, I wanted to understand her MORE. She sang it and told me "You gotta FEEL the music" THANK YOU

  • My favorite song. Period. Ever. Of ALL time.

  • super thumbs up playa!!!!

  • one of the dopest songs ever!!

  • Did I see someone say that The Beeb sang a Smokey song better than Smokey? I guess that opinion is possible; for a tone-deaf person.

  • justin bieber copied this song xD

  • @LeonardoAndreDiaz No he made it better,get it right now!!!

  • baby baby ooh ooh!!!!!

  • WHY is when i type in Baby baby justin bieber comes first...

  • @p4ndiamond beacause that song is the most listened to thats why

  • Such soul and raw emotion in this genre, that's why I love it and raised my kids on it...music today doesn't have the ability to affect someone deep inside like this does.

  • thanks

  • I've been in the hospital,and NURSES are coming over to listen to Smokey every chance they get. "Cause it brings the down to there younger days. So far I'm becoming there favorite patient,and I'm LOVIN' IT

  • @WHEELRKING13 , whoever you are, feel better! Keep you in my prayers! :)

  • Smokeys the MuthaPhuckin shittt!

  • 12 people aint got no baby to love

  • I've always wondered if this is where John Lennon got the 'I'm crying.....' in "I Am The Walrus" from.

  • @SuperGogetem John was a huge Smokey fan, so that could seem likely.

  • esto es musica no chingaderas que., banda. o que justin biber. etc..saludos de tijuana baja califas

  • Smokey, you are are such a crooner!!!! Have always adored this song.... This is truly a masterpiece....brings back so many memories!!!

  • I Love Smokys First Wifes "Beautiful" Voice On This Record!!

  • Should be imortalised for posterity , love song unlimited. Dont feel it ? then you are soul dead

  • HaHa...this back in my mom and dads day R.I.P parents...mom grew up in detroit right in the middle of the motown era...she told me alot bout the basements partys with some of the up and commin artist round that time........i bet it was pure FUNN.....aint nothing like the oldies some of todays music is cah cah crappy autotuned out lolo

  • "W-H-A-T-??????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? YOU CAN'T BE ALIVE AND VOTE DISLIKE ON THAT SONG....GO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TRY TO FOG A MIRROR. YOU GOT NO S-O-U-L-E....AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T DANCE....

  • THIS IS A CLASSIC = IT WILL NEVER DIE!! MISTAKES I KNOW I'VE MADE A FEW, BUT I'M ONLY HUMAN....YOU MAKE MISTAKES TOO.!!

  • always liked this one !

  • All I can say is, umph! This was a time when a man had to woo a woman :-) I feel sorry for these young girls. I don't think men of the younger generations know how to do that.

  • @ashastar And the men of this generation will never know the pleasure of verbally persuading and successfully enticing a lady FOR A KISS...then came some more sweet words whispered so gently in order to further blossom that relationship...they'll never know...

  • @ashastar This is some good love making music.  It brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.

  • @ashastar they dont need to.all they have to do is have money,be a thug,or be well hung and you can get any black woman.

  • @robertjosephgreen Why do you hate on black women so much? This is the second comment I've run into where you're deragatory against them...you must have gotten hurt bad by one.

  • @rassledassle82 Do you want to know why I hate black woman.1.I mind my own business at work and all black woman there make fun of me.I can go no where to escape them.(I live in Atlanta)2.they all like thugs and they would die before they go out with a nice guy like me.3.they all act stuck up just because they have big booty's.4.almost all of them have kids by the time they are my age.(I am 24.)with no father in sight.5.they act so loud and ignorant and abuse the system.

  • @robertjosephgreen Well, let me respond to this as a "stereotypical" black woman 1) Sounds like you work with some pretty immature ppl; maybe it's the TYPE of venue you work at, not black women as a whole2)I am married to the TOTAL opposite of a thug and have NEVER even once desired to be involved with one3)Women of all races act stuck and and it has to do with ignorance (not booty)4)I am in my late 20s and have NEVER even been pregnant because I use my brain and5)I've NEVER

  • @robertjosephgreen been on any type of aid and am one of the sweetest women you'll ever meet...Please don't judge a book by it's cover. Not only is it unfair, wrong and ignorant, but it's very hurtful to those of us who are honest, sweet, loving, strong and independant black women. We are always degraded and all put under one unbrella while other races of women are judged individually. This kind of judgement is hurtful, malicious and cruel.

  • @rassledassle82 Never have i heard that much maturity from a black woman.I am sorry for what I said.You are one example of what a good black woman should be.Its just I have been made fun since high school till now and I have built up a hatred for all black woman.(all black people in general)I will try to change my attitude.

  • @robertjosephgreen Thank you for your words, and I am sorry that you have been belittled by some blacks - no one deserves that. Trust me when I say, however, that we are not all like this and I think it's a shame that some blacks act like the stereotypes that I am sick of seeing on television. I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope that you find a way to get away from those types of people in general - they are truly toxic.

  • @ashastar hey i do bro so shut the fuck up !!!!!

  • @ashastar they dont lls the men in my generation need to step up lls

  • @ashastar It is not just men. It's men AND women!

  • Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing.

  • Is The Woman In These Pictures "Smokys" First Wife???

    If It Is, She Added So Much To The Records That She Sang On!!

  • @desert3347 Yes, her name is Claudette Rogers

  • @elisa412 Would You Know If Claudette Was Related To Any Of The "Motown" Executives? I Must Have Something Wrong Because I Didn't Know Her Last Name Was Rogers.

  • @desert3347 She was married to Smokey for 27 years...her brother Sonny Rogers was part of the original group.

  • I saw Smokey at Dover Downs a few years back and almost cried watching him sing. He was just a few feet away from me, singing this song. OMG!

  • I'm 17 and I have to say I have fell in love with this song. Was on the radio today at work and I instantly became infatuated. Oldies that I never knew seem to be the best songs

  • @TheGrannyjill him and marvin gaye XD

  • is it wrong if im 15 and love this song haha

  • @shino933 no I don't think that it is wrong for a 15 year old to love. it means that you have good taste in music. I was younger than you are when I fell in love with Smokey's talent

  • OLD IS GOLD !!! timeless love song ever !

  • Oh my god, that's so sexy: Triple humbucker black Les Paul at 0:53

  • Thank you to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles for this treasure!!!!!

  • high school....basement parties...dancin close....sweet love....simple life.....sure miss those days.....

  • my cousin turned 9 and she just loves it whenever i play these kind of songs.!!!

  • I just turned 15, this song sounds beautiful.

  • This was a time when music was for real. Not like all the stuff that is out there today. Motown Music was and is still the BEST. This was music for romancing the one you loved..

  • the kids who call themselves "dog" and "bitch" in our contemporary times, don't even know what romancing is. Do they know what slow dancing and romanticizing is? Listen to the lyrics in songs like this, Stay in my Corner by the Dells, You'll Lose a Precious Love, the Temptations, also written by Smokey Robison, and a plethora of love songs from the 60-70's. What ever happened to parties where slow dancing with the lights dim and rolling with a woman as you danced was our version of sex?

  • Beautiful Song. :)

  • I agree this is a fantastic love song. There were many baby made when listening to this song!!

  • Greatest love song ever. All others are playing for second place. Justin Bieber does not rate -- not on the same planet, in the same galaxy or universe, with Smokey.

  • Bons tempos que não vivi...

  • this is a really good song

  • Great slow dance right here

  • One of my favorites, when we were in junior high (back in the 60's it was junior high not middle school) we put Smokey's albums on the record player with the arm over to the side so it would play the LP over and over. Played all night long. Where have those days gone?

  • @therealhappycamper

    Those days are now with the AARP archives, along with my girlish figure.

  • What a wonderful song growing up on the westside of chicago in the 8th grade my first love farrell robinson called me and sang this to me on the phone . don,t know how he got my nunber but thanks farrell never will forget you

  • @Dominicanngirl13 i think you forgot some letters

  • @sslerette33 Whatt Do Youu Meann Youu Gott A Problem Or Something Thatss Justt Howw I Typee??

  • @ATeenCalledLame I think it's just the times we live in. Time has changed & we have technology that wasn't aroun back in the day & a lot of the older generation are slow to catching on. I love all types of music but, old school has no comparisons. This is where it all started & the way was paved for our music artists that are doing it today. This is classic music that is standing & will alwys stand the test of time.

  • @deannagreen29 speak it man, thats the truth

  • @ATeenCalledLame im 14. love this song

  • @ATeenCalledLame

    Good music will never have major audience...

  • @ATeenCalledLame old nigggaz dont know about you tube

  • @ATeenCalledLame I agree, Beiber is crap compared to these wonderful singers. If his songs have more likes then that tells us that people have lost their sense fo good music.

  • ooooo baby baby mistakes i know i made a few , but im only human .... love thiis song... damn good shiit !! :D

  • Wow...those old covers when they started and Smokey's wife was a part of the group are kind of hurtful to look at. They were young and in love then...had kids together...and now are not a couple. It must be hurtful for them, too, to remember how things used to be.

    Love this song....

  • this is such a beautiful song.

  • Got goosebumps when the 'Ooo' bit started. Nothing sounds better than a beautiful soul voice over a Major 7th chord.

  • Takes me back.... Green Turtle in OC.... first kiss from my first love.... oh my.... Long ago days and I still miss them....

  • made in heaven

  • one of my favorite songs...and i'm 19!!

  • @coopMC100 one of my favorite songs, and im 12!

  • @jamhamjam12 You are a smart 12 year old

  • they called him smokey robinson for a reason ooo that voice baby baby

  • What an all time favorite! Never was a hit in Holland. But when Smokey was in Amsterdam everyone joined him in this song.

  • this beyond doubt, is the most beautiful ballad to come from the Motown stable.It brings tears to my eyes!

  • still a hit

  • This song was on point in the Temptations movie..

  • Classic soul! Check out how "Stone Harmony" sings this song! On youtube now!

  • i won first place singing this song at a kareoke contest way back in 1988 in las vegas..won $100.00 and drinks were free all night for my friends and i at the table..lol...it was fun.

  • Lets not forget the Funk Brothers !

  • i heard this song in my music appreciaiton class, i was told smokey made up this song on the spot while performing. incredible stuff, my teacher said this guy has the most beautiful voice in the world, and he is right.

  • Was Smokey toooo fine or what?

  • Smokey Robinson in my opinion was the driving force of Motown records. If it weren't for his singing , song writing, record producing and discovering talent, Motown Records would have never lasted which would have been a terrible loss for America.......................­..

  • i l0vee this s0ngg.

  • this "baby" song should be the one with 500 million views

  • @9Twilk even black people in michigan never heard of smokey robinson ..n u r expecting a 500m..viewers,

  • @ameredon1 No way. You say Detroit and everyone immediately knows who William Smokey Robinson, Berry Gordy and Motown are.

  • oo baby baby = million words in a simple passionate and loving manner... that's all you have to say... howl wooooo and baby baby it sayes it all, the girl will understand ;P

  • Even I can sing now. My pals dad is dying

  • my favorite oldy!! but all oldies r great!! classic

  • THIS SONG HAS TO BE ONE OF HIS BEST.IT'S THE SONG THAT CONVINCED ME MY GIRLFRIEND HAD GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC. SHE LOVED IT TOO.WERE STILL LISTENING TO HIS AND OTHER OLDIES, AFTER 46YRS. THANKS FOR PUTTING ALL THIS GREAT MUSIC ON THE COMPUTER.

  • Saint Louis Ave. In St Louis Missouri in all the 1960s. Damons waiste line basement parties. This Music made everyone get up. I long for those days of contact dancing. The days when You and Your partner actually made a choreograhic dance. You really made something happen on that floor, and people were really looking at it. Yeah... this is it. This song being beautiful was also sad. but it was kinda upper and a downer song, I don't know, something like that. Thanks for posting it.

  • Sheer beauty :)

  • Still a pretty song.

  • Absolutely love this classic music! Brings back great memories of growing up and my parents listening to the radio sunday mornings... thanks for posting.

  • J'adore...encore encore et encore....

  • I grew up with good Motown groups like The Temptations and I must say it's made my ear for music much better. Mad props to the older generation (like my parents) who got me into such magical music. Thank you!!!

  • forty years ago i was with my girl listening to this great love song

  • The correct title is, "Ooo Baby Baby." Thanks for posting.

  • @pt8648; T
