I actually met this musical genius. At a Baltimore City Fair. He asked if anybody could sing one of his songs. I raised my hand. My best friend & daughter's father, DJ Curtis Anderson told me to sing. Cause he knew I could sing15-20 of Smokey's songs.
But better to go to the original record. More passion and intensity. This is too casual. It's not a CROONING song. In the original, Smokey is almost fanatic: begging for love. I don't like this version.
Yes! He touches on this very thought in Hitsville: The Making of Motown. He knew that Smokey had surpassed him as a songwriter when he heard this. That he had gone in a direction he never even once considered going. Berry may have been the force behind Motown, but Smokey was just as instrumental in the company's amazing sucesss.
@@BillBird2111 Berry was still a prolific SONGWRITER based on the hits he wrote for his sparring partner Jackie Wilson and might I add Smokey Robinson's favorite and greatest singer to date. Berry actually told Smokey the fundamentals about writing a song. It's like a story. You have a beginning middle and an end. So ends the lesson.
Smokey Robertson is so dreamy and his voice goes right thru we saw him the other nite 2022 in augusta Georgia he was better is that possible? Love Smokey ❤️
11/27/2018. Back door Regal Theater Chicago , year. 1961 Smokey gave me his autograph and kiss my cheek. I was hooked! Now I'm 68yrs and still hooked! PS . Married my high school sweet heart. Steve sang Ooh baby baby ! Thanks for everything Smokey 😎
gorgeous, song writing genius, pantie dropping/baby making voice, total package. many folks walking around today are a result of their parents and smokey's music. the goddess made no mistake with this man
True Motown experience, true story, Southwest Detroit, basement party '69, two stepping with THAT GUY...you know, the crush guy...want this music at my funeral
I have always loved Smokey, he has a one of a kind voice. I have had the privilege to see him several times in concert over the years. Looking forward to a concert January of 2019, can't wait to see to see him perform again. I LOVE U SMOKEY.
Yes, I miss her too! She was and still is an icon! She is a little sick now and not doing well! But she is still with us! What a beautiful duet that her and Smokey made! 🎶
This looks like an outtake from "Motown 25." Though I have nothing against Linda Rondstat, i did not look at Motown 25 to see non-Motown artists perform songs made by artists that were still around to do their own tunes!
The younger generation need to indulge themselves in this old school music because it got it point across respectfully without all the sucking, eating, and licking you hear today.
6:25. 6:29. Wow Linda really looked at Smokey here. She's the only one yet who's ever really renditioned this song with unusual greatness. Her own voice, her own signature distinct style.

I'll try something new was the first song that actually made me scream as a teenager. lol I was shocked when that happened. I must truthfully say that in this video I would prefer to hear only Smokey, not a duet with someone who did a cover of his song.
Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations did a great job with "I'll Try Something New" as well. It was the follow-up to "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me."

Anthony - Singer Linda Ronstadt - She has earned 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, and an ALMA Award.
Linda Ronstadt. You could call her the queen of cover songs. Most of her hits were covers. She covered both "Tracks Of My Tears" (#25) and "Ooh Baby Baby" (#7).

My best friend & daughter's father, DJ Curtis Anderson told me to sing. Cause he knew I could sing15-20 of Smokey's songs.
When I hear Smokey, it's like we were neighbors and he sings about my life♥️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Is this what heaven sounds like?!❤
His greatest song. Insufficiently recognized. Poetry set to music.
But better to go to the original record. More passion and intensity. This is too casual. It's not a CROONING song. In the original, Smokey is almost fanatic: begging for love. I don't like this version.
You are so sosososo underrated
My one and only my idol Smoke Dog I listen to his songs 24/7 still water up on ooh baby baby - fork in the road - and Easy😂😢
An iconic masterpiece for the ages!
Ladies listen to this song. Now that's what u call OLD School. Told u that they don't make em like that no more.
Thank goodness I'm old enough to remember when music sounded like this.
Melting my heart baby ❤
No one...Like Smokey! xoxo!
💐BEAUTIFUL SMOKEY ROBINSON, THE CLASSIC AND LEGENDARY SOUND OF MOTOWN!!

Four decades I'm listening too
I've give him the song writing but not the singing

I miss Linda Rostand's beauty and voice.
Huh?
@@jpat989 What's your question?
Yes, I miss her too! She was and still is an icon! She is a little sick now and not doing well! But she is still with us! What a beautiful duet that her and Smokey made! 🎶
I 🤔 thought that was LINDA . Looks Lovely.
One of mine too play it every day after my talk with God!!!

The goat
"If at first, I don't succeed, try again is what I'll do; always trying something else, always trying something that is new!"
HANDSOME,SEXY, SOULTRY VOICE DAMN I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE HIM IN PERSON SINGING AS IF HE WAS SINGING ONLY TO ME.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
nice!!
The younger generation need to indulge themselves in this old school music because it got it point across respectfully without all the sucking, eating, and licking you hear today.
You are right
Just go ahead and drop the mic Smokey.
Nobody can touch you...
6:25. 6:29.
Wow Linda really looked at Smokey here.
