After AllThe Miracles

Released: June 16, 1961

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Berry Gordy

Still I ask myself, why do you always make me sad
Why do you always treat me bad, after all
After all, I'm the one who loves you (Yes I do)
Still I ask myself, why do you always hurt my pride
When you know, I'll always be by your side, after all
After all, I'm the one who loves you

If you, are to venture out, and look anywhere, anywhere in this world
Just you wait and see, you'll be back to me
You'll never find, a love like mine, in any other girl
And when you come back to me, I guess I'll have to take you in
So we can start, all over again, after all
After all, I'm the one who loves you (Yes I do)
I, I love you, no matter what you do (Yes I do)
I'm still in love with you, (yes I do) no matter what you say
I'm gonna love you

The Miracles

The Miracles (also known as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from 1965 to 1972) were an American rhythm and blues vocal group.

They were formed at school in Detroit in 1955 as The Five Chimes. In 1956 they changed their name to The Matadors, adding Claudette Rogers to the line-up. They were spotted by Berry Gordy at an audition in late 1957 and in February 1958 changed their name to The Miracles. Their first release, ‘Get A Job’ b/w ‘My Mama Done Told Me’, was issued via the End label that same month. Another single on End followed, and then one on Chess and Motown, before the group finally found a home on Tamla where they had a string of hits and Smokey established himself as a key songwriter for the label throughout the 1960s.

In late 1965 Berry Gordy decided to adjust the group’s name and they were billed thereafter as Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, until Smokey left the group in July 1972 (although the final Smokey Robinson & The Miracles single was not released until November). He was replaced by Billy Griffin, with the name being reverted back to The Miracles for the new line-up.
