Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – Ooo Baby Baby – TMG 503

The third release on the Tamla Motown label in the UK was this soulful side from the incomparable Smokey Robinson, after whom our latest cat is named.

It wasn’t a hit, but then there are a lot of Motown singles whose quality has only been recognised with the benefit of almost 50 years of hindsight. There are others that, frankly, weren’t hits because they weren’t very good. But for today’s contribution, I’ll vote for this one as a lost classic.
