Smokey and the Miracles
This CD offers a great collection of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles at their best. .

Anyone who loves Motown music will love this CD. . .

Highly recommend this for everyone.


Smokey Robinson and the Mircles "The Live Collection"
"Poinciana " is the most sophisticated singing by anybody at that time. Disc 1 represents the finest singing at Motown ever. Swinging, jazzy, totally unexpected. Disc 2 is all "Miracles Sound" and is the best of that "Motown Sound" that Smokey helped create. This is a "must have" CD for all those who love Black singing groups from the 60's.

MIRACLES LIVE ....IT'S ABOUT TIME !
The Miracles are my favorite group of all time . a feeling agreed upon by more people than you may think . . . TJ LUBINSKY ,the creator & executive producer of all the famous PBS music specials ,(DOO WOP 50,RED,WHITE,AND ROCK,R&B 40,ETC},has said publicly several times on his specials that the MIRACLES are his favorite group of all time as well (ALL of them , not just SMOKEY}. MOTOWN RECORDS HAS , unfortunately,for their fans, been very slow about releasing their entire album catalog from the '60's and early '70's on CD. . . great albums such as FLYING HIGH TOGETHER, ONE DOZEN ROSES,the unreleased "THE MIRACLES SING MODERN"(the release of which would be very timely now since so many current artists ,SMOKEY INCLUDED,are releasing albums of standards today},WHAT LOVE. . . HAS JOINED TOGETHER, (Once on CD, but now out of print),I'LL TRY SOMETHING NEW,and others,still have yet to see the light of day on CD. How happy I was , therefore, to see the 1st time ever release of 2 of their classic albums : LIVE! and "1957-1972"(their final live performance} on their new "LIVE COLLECTION". There are many great performances here . . . Smokey, Bobby, Ronnie ,& Pete doing DIONNE WARWICK'S "WALK ON BY", the full vocal range of their harmonies on Dion's "ABRAHAM ,MARTIN,AND JOHN,"OOO BABY BABY,and"GOT TO BE THERE" and Original member Marv Tarplin's great guitar work on "THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS", SATISFACTION,and MICKEY'S MONKEY" and the capper :being joined on stage by another orginal member: Smokey's then wife (& Bobby's cousin }, CLAUDETTE ROGERS ROBINSON on their classic "BAD GIRL" . THE MIRACLES' performances and showmanship are as always FLAWLESS AND DYNAMIC and they live up to their early "60's nickname " THE SHOWSTOPPERS" . If there could be said to be a gripe with this collection, it would be that MOTOWN should have also included the groups' 1st live album from 1962: RECORDED LIVE: THE MIRACLES ON STAGE {also never before available on CD}. That would have put all 3 of their live albums in one collection - and would have shown an interesting evolution of the group's sound over that 10 year period. . . but other than that. . a FANTASTIC COLLECTION. . 5 STARS!!.
