 His Talent, His Voice, and His Songs
Submitted on: 2009-05-06 |

"Smokey Robinson and The Miracles: The Ultimate Collection" is pretty much as described; a collection of the greatest hits of the man who's been called "The King of Motown." A greatly talented singer/songwriter; as a single, and with his group the Miracles, Robinson, a Detroit native, delivered 37 Top 40 Hits for Motown between 1960 and 1987. He delivered Motown's first big #1 hit in 1960 with "Better Shop Around," a million-selling r & b single that's still frequently heard around the world. He wrote "Mary Wells' "My Guy," (1964); the Temptations' "My Girl," and the Marvelettes'"Don't Mess with Bill." In his more than 50-year musical career in fact, he has penned more than 4000 songs. He was Vice President of Motown from 1961-1988, and has been described by such as Bob Dylan, and the Beatles, as a great poet.
But over all, of course, he is best known for his swooping, silky falsetto, as heard on "Ooh Baby Baby," (1965); "The Tracks of My Tears,"(1965); "Going to a Go-Go," (1965), and "I Second That Emotion," (1967). Then, of course, there's "You've Really Got A Hold on Me." His surprise 1970 hit "Tears of a Clown," jump-started his solo career. In his autobiography, the man has discussed frankly the addiction to crack cocaine that nearly destroyed his career in his 30's, and his battle back from that addiction. He now stands before us as the winner of many Grammies, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, and a 1988 inductee into the rock and roll hall of fame, somewhat controversially, without The Miracles. He's even got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But most important of all, there's his talent, his voice, and his songs. Most of the big ones are here, as well as many lesser-known cuts that serve to showcase his outstanding talent.

| Contains all the greatest hits of the Miracles and is liked very much by people like me who prefer rock and roll when it was rock and roll, meaning previous to the Beatles. |
