Tears of a Clown--because I grew up with my parents 45

Ohh baby Babby--no need to explain

Tracks Of My Tears--cause it makes me melancholy as fuck. especially the last cresendo chorus

Shop Around--cause its fun

More Love--the melody etc

Whos Lovin You--no need to explain

The tracks of my tears is the best song ever. a beautiful melody and fantastic lyrics. i've probably heard it 3000 times and i never get tired of it.

other great songs are:
tears of a clown
my girl has gone
going to a go go
ooo baby baby
special occasion
i second that emotion
you've really got a hold on me
I woke up sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

I got that box set too.I'll have to go listen to that song again ("There's A Sad Story Here").

I highly recommend this box set to any fan of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.It contains all the hits,plus B-sides,rarities and previously unreleased tracks.Plus,the packagaing is superb.

Tell Me Tomorrow
Being With You

As for the why? He has a voice that can melt chocolate. I don't care how old he is, but he still has that affect. I can listen to him sing for hours. He has his own radio show that airs on Sundays. I don't know if it's nationwide.
