There's no way to express how good this clip is... It's real real real good.!!!🌟🎤🎧

Smokey Robinson is one of the hippest artist in the world. Ultimate voice

Smoky and the Miracles really brought it to the Apollo! A lot of record sales, not just from the audience but word of mouth, if you can crush it on that stage. Pressure's on because there were other acts on the bill trying to do the exact same thing.

No lip synching here this is live at the APOLLO THEATER!!!

Still listening 2023 ❤ Too cool 😎✌️❤️🌼

Smokie killed it!!!

Smokey is one of the greatest song writers out there.!❤

This is my favorite out of every Miracles performance I've seen, Smokey put all of his heart and all of his soul into this, I'm not used to seeing him this animated but I love it! The way he went into Bring It On Home to me and switched back was perfect 🎶💖 just wow

Jamerson was the road bassist for Miracles until 1964 when Motown realised he was too valuable and kept him in the studio with a few exceptions for the remainder of his career with Motown.

Thanks for pointing that out! There are very few video clips of him, to my knowledge. One great one with Marvin Gaye is out there.

Good Lord, I've never seen this! What a powerful performance....just blown away! The choreography is restrained, but evocative, and such lovely well-tailored clothing. A treat to the ears and eyes. Excellent musicians, vocal arrangements and powerful vocals by Smokey. No vulgar twerking, oh the good days when people had class.

James Jamerson, bass personified. Wish we could see a better view of him.

Great song, especially including Sam Cooke’s ending Bring it on Home to me!

The one and only....

Fantastic Smokey Robinson such a great artist putting everything into the performance 🌟 and his you very cute too 😘

I saw The Motown Revue at The Fox Theater New Years Eve 1965 what a show all that great talent in my City Detroit!

Damn, I enjoyed watching that clip. Kudos to Smokey & The Miracles.

It is amazing what this man put into this performance - the definitive one of "You Really Got A Hold On Me" i might add, which, besides his Sam Cooke-Lou Rawls inspired duet with fellow Miracle Bobby Rogers includes the actual song which inspired it ("Bring It On Home To Me") and some nice choreography on the part of The Miracles!

No more music like that anymore

The Miracles are the quintessential group of Motown stag, power, prolific, songwriting, the backbone of soul music, it’s too bad they broke up at the height of the power. Long live smokin, Bill, and the three that are real from the hill.

I've always heard that the patrons at the Apollo were very demanding. If you did not perform to their expectations, you were booed off of the stage. The Miracles certainly gave them more than their money's worth.

Ain't nobody like smoky but Elvis came close
