AND SHE'S STILL CUTE AS A BUTTON AT ALMOST 70! she left smokey for his drugs, messing around with cute sister who was also on drugs and general bad husband behavior, however he had a girlfriend for 25 years in the background and finally married her.. though in his heart if claudette would have taken him back he would have been one happy old crooner! they were meant to be together.

Geez! I never expect to find this track. It's been 3 or 4 years since I heard it last except it was a 30 second sample from Barnes & Noble. lol. Thank you so much for this track, wally1435. :-)

@macdelight

Like the other poster said, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. For one thing, Smokey divorced Claudette, not the other way around. And he did have have a couple of mistresses, which one of them had his child, but it was no where near 25 years that he had been with either of his mistresses when they divorced. And he never married either of them. You must get your information from the National Enquirer or something, or you dreamed this up!

@macdelight U dont know what the hell you are talking about. Smokey Did not have no girlfriend 25 years. U ought to be ashamed of yourselves pretending to know these people personal lives. REMEMBER FOLKS BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE, AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR FROM THESE CLOWNS.
