Monday morning, loosen your tie with the man, besides Berry Gordy, most responsible for the success of Motown, the brilliant singer and songwriter Smokey Robinson.
Gotta love the swivel 1.0 choreography for the Miracles, too.

You Beat Me To The Punch

Got to get up early Monday morning to beat Mary Wells to the punch.
It’s hard for me to pick between this song and “My Guy,” but the Smokey Robinson lyric with its surprise ending and catchy refrain make this a Mary Wells favorite for me.
