Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

Do not worry. John Perrone, mosogotam, began to rest in peace at the moment death struck him. I do hope that he will awake in the first resurrection when Jesus Christ shall return to this earth again. Perhaps I never knew mosogotam, I am still appalled that he caught coronavirus, and then he died. This is a loss that hurts like the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The musical works done by mosogotam are incredible. Fortunately for me, the music is not dead.

Smokey Robinson, the greatest lyricist of the 20th century, bar none.

Wonder if the bassoon player ever dreamed that one day he'd be on one of the best-loved classics in pop/soul when he chose that instrument !!

I didn't know this

When I was a child I lived on Lake Erie and bought an old transistor radio at a yard sale for 25 cents I remember on Friday nights the warm red glow on the wall in my bedroom coming from the back of the radio as the voices of all of the Mowtown greats slowly sprung to life . Turning that knob and slowly hearing Smokey’s voice was always a childhood treat Still to this day it takes me back to a special time in my childhood

Never understood til now he sang, "smiling in the public eye..." Major Props....

1st Time I heard a bassoon on a pop record. I met Smokey on an Elevator at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, doing a tribute to Hal David's 90th Birthday, I was backing most of the other acts on the show including Stevie Wonder, but Smokey did a simple piano vocal version of Burt Bacharach's and Hal David's "Walk On By" without the band. , he was one of the nicest guys I met on that show. A huge hero of mine.

Marvin was the pillars, Stevie the arches, and Smokey the jewel of Motown, hands down.

I am 69 years old since April 20, 2022, and I enjoy this perfect song, even much more now as never before.🎼

There will never be another Smokey, & he’s pure class too

This is the best extended version of "Tears of a Clown," and it sounds perfect on KZread. It is my favorite. Mosogotam did a superior job.

When I hear this song bring back memories growing up in oak cliff - so many sweet memories I guess I was aroud 12 or 13 . And most of I miss my mother she was 97 . Bles her sweet heart .

Love this.. What a real man, what a human being- Smokey just breaks my heart every time...

66 now, born in Motown ‘52, you putting a big ass smile on my face, people think I’m crazy, keep it coming

I spent the past day trying to figure out what they're singing behind the Pagliacci verse. I was so glad to find this edit. A nice stretched version, plus the lyrics I was looking for are very clear here.

During this awesome recording, I literally cried the tears of a clown. 24 karat gold!

I am a 60 yr old musician, and i can say i have heard several of your ext versions, and you sir have some serious talent.

That is why I love the extended songs. The radio versions that were on 7" 45 rpm discs that you call originals were recorded to fit in the program the radio stations had limited time within the program segments. The extended versions sound more complete than the short versions. This "Tears of a Clown" Mosogotam version is my number one favorite.

I'm a huge fan of your extended versions of the Motown classics...to include some others that aren't Motown. I have a request...could you formulate one for Stevie Wonder's version of "We Can Work It Out" in the same way that you did this one and many others? I don't have the talent, but you do my friend:).
