(The Miracles - Mickey's Monkey)LISTEN
another slice from the 1963 selection, the year that 'Mod' grew out of various shadows to establish it as more than a handful of 'dressers'/stylists/modernists into a movement. Same year that the (New) Scene opened it's doors in Ham Yard, (Soho), to become the premier London club and forum for all things 'mod' and hip in the capital.
The cut is delivered in fine style by legendary Detroit vocal group The Miracles with William 'Smokey' Robinson on lead supported by Bobby Rogers, Marv Tarplin, childhood friend and, (along with Smokey), former 5 Chimes member Ronald White and female vocalist Claudette Rogers. The Miracles paved the way for Motown's success in the early sixties with cuts like 'Shop Around', 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' and this one apoun which the Berry Gordy empire was built.
