"You Really Got a Hold on Me," one of
the Miracles'
most popular songs, is the cornerstone of this popular set.
Smokey
brings his feather-light tenor down a couple of octaves on these sessions, ending his
Nolan Strong
imitation.
Strong
, of the
Diablos
, influenced the young
William Robinson
;
Smokey's
first recording was a
remake, "Adios Senorita." Some of
Robinson's
most brilliant songs -- "Such Is Love, Such Is Like," "Happy Landing," "A Love That She Can Count On," and the bouncy "I Can Take A Hint" -- provide some serious grooves. Original member
Warren Moore
is not pictured or featured because of a prior commitment with Uncle Sam. ~ Andrew Hamilton
