The Only One I LoveThe Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Berry Gordy

I love you so much
I, I, I, I am blushed
Ooh, maybe you cry just for fun
Oh, but now you've gone away and all that I can say
Is that in my life you're still the only one

And now I walk alone, sad and blue
Found out my love for you must have been true
Oh, I hope it's not my fate that I found out too late
That the only one I love is you

I, I, I, I will be blue
And I, I, I, I, I, I will be lonely too
Until you come on home, I'll be all alone
'Cause the only one I love is you
Oh, so come on home
I'm suffering from a bad case of the blues
It's your love that I hate to lose
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come home
Baby, I just want you to say that you'll be mine

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.
