The Miracles

There's Mama Said by the Shirelles.

And then there's My Mama Told Me You Better Shop Around by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

And Always on the Run by Lenny Kravitz.

My mama

You've got some stops there that kind of keep you interested or maybe you don't like them, depending.

Now, apparently this song, well, according to, I think it was on the Beatles' Bible, right? And apparently inspired loosely from What's So Good About Goodbye from The Miracles.

Did you listen to that

track at all? I did, and I don't get it.

So I don't know if I fully buy that line of thinking, but...

Yeah.

Well, let me ask you, do you think, because whoever wrote that said, this sounds like a Smokey Robinson and the Miracles influence song.

But then I saw someone else say, oh, this sounds like girl group doo-wop.

NBC 10 Boston has discovered new details about the holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.

Of course, that trial ended last week, deadlocked, no verdict because of a lone holdout.

Now, after the mistrial, our NBC 10 investigators pulled court records that were tied to that juror, and we found a 2021 charge for assaulting his wife that was later dismissed, an active restraining order that a nephew had taken out against him.

And that has still been in effect even while he sat through weeks of testimony and a pending eviction over unpaid rent.

Saturday morning extravaganza continues.

Your Saturday morning vibe.

Does anyone else feel like their whole life is a lie and everything that they've ever known is wrong? Because what do you mean Reddington was on CBS in an interview? backing patrick what do you mean he thinks that we should all leave patrick alone and like stop with all the conspiracy stuff like what but he did it right like what do you what do you say what are you saying is this all part of a bigger plan like is there something brewing or are we just like should we just like pack it up and like

what does this mean It means that Patrick didn't do it.

All right.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles with the track Tears of a Clown.

Or Track of My Tears, I'm sorry, Track of My Tears.

Merle Haggard, Okie from Muskogee.

Now, a couple notes on that.

Track two is credited to Smokey Robinson.

It was actually recorded by Smokey Robinson in The Miracles.

I don't know if that was a copyright thing of something between 67 and age.

Detroit R&B pianist and band leader who was huge in the early Motown scene.

One of the label's very first band leaders wrote hits for groups like The Miracles.

Sergio Andrigo passed away in 2005 at the age of 72 from cancer.

Italian singer-songwriter rose to international fame by winning the San Remo Music Festival in 1968 with his masterpiece Canzone I. Dottie McGuire passed away in 2012 at the age of 83 from Parkinson's disease.

Wonder was blind since infancy and displayed extraordinary musical ability early, learning piano, harmonica, and drums as a child.

After being discovered by Ronnie White of the group The Miracles, he auditioned for Motown and was signed while barely in his teens.

Importantly, jazz was part of his musical world from the beginning.

One of Wonder's first albums released in 1962 was actually called The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie, an instrumental record showcasing his abilities on keyboard, harmonica, and percussion.

I'm telling everyone, most every taxi on that two-track is home.

That's Smokey and the Mackerels on Rob Radio, and I said I'm not a big Smokey Robinson fan, but the next song I'm going to play was actually written by Smokey Robinson and was a Motown hit twice, once for Rare Earth and once for The Temptations.

Oh, if you ever hear this song, you're going to love it.

So sit back, relax, buckle up.

Okay.

I actually worked with opening shows with Sammy Davis Jr., Red Fox, and I got me a new name of Tom Jones and the Miracles.

And the Miracles, when Billy Griffin got with the Miracles and Smokey left, we traveled with them a bit and they were big fans of ours.

And Billy Griffin said, man, we got to write a song for the girls.

They called us the girls.
