Great stuff



Reckon many of ya dudes 'ruon' here
have watched this umpteen times, but I want to
beat the drum for this.

Eternally grateful to ROCKMAN for remindin' me about this
dude in the first place.

Smokey's the MAN!! I second that emotion every time!!

Hey Bro...find yaself a copy of
I Can Take A Hint..7"B side of A Love She Can Count On...

The whole thing will just nail ya...Smokey...back-ups and that drummer...CLASSIC STUFF



ROCKMAN

Great music.

I did not watch that clip, so I do not know if any of the '64 TAMI show footage is in there, but the Miracles really shake it up during that performance. And to say again, the TAMI show has the best live footage of the Stones with Brian that I am aware of. That was a very FUN show.

Fun dance to Going To A Gogo

'''Dont look Back'''was written by Smokey.but you know that!

( .. A small step over to Marvin's What's Going On?



Temptations Aint Too Proud To Beg



Tempts Just My Imagination



Tempts For Once In My Life

Great group, must say that Tears of a Clown for me was the last real Motown tune or was it Band of Gold by Frida Pain

Don't Look Back Tempts


...Thanks for the reminder, Rooster!

Hot stuff.

Always loved tracks of my tears, what a beauty.

Going to a go-go is magic, second that emotion, I always imagine the stones could cover this, keiths style would work great with some rhythmn and some licks thrown in.

Just about to give a nat king cole disc a spin for the first time. Never knew the cat passed away in 1965? Unbelievable...

I really love Motown. Best American music of the 60's. I always thought they never really got the recognition they deserve. Gordy and Strong penned more top 10 hits then the Beatles and Stones put together.

I'm a Motown freak - Stax too.

"No Anchovies, Please"

A few years ago, some people at work were discussing the Miracles. Someone said that he would give a hundred dollars to anyone who was able to name a single member of the Miracles.

I answered, "Smokey Robinson."

But he refused to pay me the $100!

WTF! You were right! You should've given them licks...

Yeah...

I listened to him argue that the "The Miracles" refered to the backup singers -- and not to Smokey himself!

I countered that with a question: "Was Diana Ross one of the Supremes?" I asked him. "Well..." he answered. But I knew that getting the hundred bucks was hopeless,

good choice Jimmy- what a voice!

My greatest wish for this tour would be for the Stones to surprise us all and perform a different Motown number such as 'If I were a Carpenter', which was once performed live by the Small Faces.

We live in hope!

rick, lay off the crack pipe please.

And thank you foo the threath!

Love 'em, a 'lost' favorite hit-that-coulda-been is "Show Me You Can Dance" (issued on the box). Other all time faves include "Dance To Keep From Crying" & "The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage"

Get this Bro and watch it....

And make sure you hunt down I Can Take A Hint...

I met Smokey briefly at my local Dominick's supermarket, a couple of years ago.
He was there making an in-store appearance touting his Soul In A Bowl line of frozen food.
What a gracious and beautiful man. And, oh my goodness, those green eyes!
I know I have a picture of the event around here somewhere...
I can't believe I've never seen him perform live.
He should open for the Stones.

And dont forget the absolute flogging that the Stones
have given to Going To A Go-Go over the years...Pile-Drive Stomp
