Smokey Robinson is cited by many in the music industry as one of the greatest poets and voices of the century and these are his biggest hits (with the Miracles and solo) together for the 1st time. All Top 10 smash hits - Motown classics - including "The Tears of a Clown," "Ooo Baby Baby," "I Second That Emotion," "The Tracks of My Tears" and more. --- No less an authority than Bob Dylan called Smokey Robinson "America's greatest living poet." Robinson wrote or cowrote numerous Motown classics for other artists, and songs with complex, emotional lyrics such as "The Tears of a Clown," "The Tracks of My Tears," and "I Second That Emotion," that became major hits for his own group, the Miracles. A cursory knowledge of Robinson's work is essential for any fan of pop music, and that's about what you'll get from this set. It doesn't get too deep into the Miracles' incredible run of 29 Top 40 hits recorded between 1960 and 1975, but it does include the bare essentials, plus two from the early days of Robinson's solo career, and one--"Love Machine"--that the Miracles took to the top of the charts without him. ~ Daniel Durchholz --- Smokey Robinson's consistently brilliant songwriting led Bob Dylan to call him "the greatest living American poet." As one-disc greatest hits collections go, this really is the ultimate Smokey disc. The epic soul of "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," subsequently covered with much elan by the Beatles, has perhaps only Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me" for company as one of the most moving, gospel-tinged soul ballads of the 1960s. All the band's best known songs are here, from 1959's "Bad Girl," which is gorgeous pop doo-wop, with nary a hint of the Motown sound to come, to 1972's "We've Come Too Far to End It Now," which was among the classic Motown sound's last flowerings. What holds the collection together, of course, is Robinson's heartbreaking falsetto. If you haven't swooned to it on the likes of "Ooo Baby Baby," you should check to see if you still have a pulse.
