April 2, 2016 - Smokey Robinson & the Miracles - The Tracks of My Tears (1965)


A delicate guitar intro and then the drums come in and the song is off and running. Do do do do. The sad post-break-up-please-let's-get-back-together song. Smokey sounds so disconcerted and helpless, admitting to his now ex-gf that, although he looks content on the outside, he is really messed up and lost without her. The Funk Brothers lay down the groove. I love that scene in Platoon when the cool party guys are in their bunker singing along.
