- Smokey's Definitive CD

If you are looking for a definitive CD with the majority of the tracks in true living stereo, this is the one. Of all of the collections, this is his best effort. Not only do you get the best from Smokey & the Miracles, but you also get Smokey as an individual. This is one of the only CDs that has THE Best Stereo version of I Don't Blame You At All. There is no filler here. Pure great Soul music from the 60's. The only two hits missing are Do It and Love Machine by just the Miracles. Otherwise, for the first time listener or for the veteran fan, this is the CD to purchase. Great sound, production, stereo, and that magic voice of Smokey. This is a winner. Pure Gold!

- MIRACLES WORKER

SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES-GOLD: Pop-soul legend SMOKEY ROBINSON was not only one of MOTOWN's most popular singing stars, he pulled double duty as that label's most prolific songwriter, penning most of THE TEMPTATIONS' first dozen or so hits, including GET READY (an even bigger smash for RARE EARTH), THE WAY YOU DO THE THING YOU DO, and their career maker MY GIRL, as well as classics for MARY WELLS, THE MARVELETTES, and many others. Backed by the impeccable harmonies of THE MIRACLES, he racked up dance floor exciters like MICKEY'S MONKEY and GOING TO A GO-GO, breathless ballads including OOH BABY BABY and TRACKS OF MY TEARS, and what may have been his masterpiece, the lively heartbreaker TEARS OF A CLOWN. Unlike STEVIE WONDER and MARVIN GAYE's eventual polical statements, SMOKEY always stuck to what he did best, maybe better than anybody...the timeless love song administered in a velvety croon; his later "quiet storm" of solo adult contemporary hits BEING WITH YOU and CRUISIN' provideda smooth footnote to his unparalleled career. It's all here on the flawless forty track double disc GOLD, the mightiest love letter to fans of SMOKEY ROBINSON imaginable.

RATING: FIVE EMOTIONS
