I LOVE this song💛.

Wow. This is gold. Smokey and the Miracles. The precursor to all of the pretty singing groups of the 70's: The Moments, Blue Magic, The Stylists, Enchantment, The Dramatics, The Delfonics, et. al.

Dam, I wanna argue with you, but I'm not sure that I can becuase the Delfonics and the the Moments is the shit alone, that's almost saying, if it wasn't for Smokey and Miracles, there wouldn't have been those groups. I don't think we can make that assertion.

@stevietatum5501 Every talented singer was influenced by some great singer that proceeded them. Their singing style becomes an amalgamation of their influences and their natural abilities. Greatness begets greatness. Nothing to argue there.

I think Smokey & Miracles were influenced by the Platters. I believe Smokey did influence all those plus some. Motown was the juganaut that propelled the movement. Record deals became more lucrative and sprung up all over the country. People saw what was happening at jumped at the chance to make money

And then he sang it himself even, with a distinctive signature vocal artistry style & sound.

Always loved this song since my parents introduced it to me. But this live version is absolute GOLD ❤

Astonishing, how and what he was writing composing. The lyrics, the music, the backing vocal parts.

This song bring so many memories back in love and basement parties with the one you love.

Excellent! There will never be an Smokey💜

You’re doggone right.

This is my All Time Favorite ❤ So special, beautiful, and soulful 🎶🎶🎶🎵

They all have on 'High Collar' shirts that was the fad in the 1960s, I remember begging my father for money to buy one and how happy I was when he gave me the money. You can't beat their music.

Damn thanks for that insight must of been amazing bro!

Magnificent. Slightly slower than the recording and with the live band hitting like crack. Smokey is the G.O.A.T.

Yo the background Harmony ❤❤❤. ❤

Omgg I will always.. Love this beautiful jam

Tears in my eyes ❤

Thanks for posting such a good quality version of this video haha! It Looks and sounds great! The Miracles sound so good singing this jam live!!

One of their few live tv performances where can you can hear the background vocals clearly. I don’t know if they purposely turned the mikes down to showcase Smokey’s lead or what, but on there early television appearances you can barely hear the background vocals, if at all
