"The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage" #20 4/8/1967

By now, a number of Motown groups began to put the lead singer's name out front. We present the first single billed as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. He had risen in company management, eventually becoming a VP of the label. He would soon express a desire to stop performing in order to concentrate on family and business. It took five years for that to finally happen. Smokey was recently featured on the genealogy-based TV show "Who Do You Think You Are?"
