The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game

Written By: William 'Smokey' Robinson







And performed by the Marvelettes..biggrin



This is probably my favorite Motown song.....

Only second to the great Mary Wells tunes that Smokey written & produce...

Just listening to the instrumental alone is so soothing...

That bass line and the harmonica solo....DAYUMM!!!

Smokey was on it!!!

Only flaw I have with it that its seems to be missing a second verse..hmmm

But all and all, a great tune.... cool

It's gonna be in my top songs list. Patti Smith also does a great live cover.

It is a good song, but not close to my favorite Motown song. The instrumental version on the Standing in The Shadows of Motown deluxe edition CD is outstanding, however.

I have a Jerry Garcia Band version, as well, but it's kind of lame.
a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on

That is a cool-ass tune - so sultry and sexy...It always makes me think of 'Don't Mess With Bill', another motown fave of mine.
