I admit it: I'm a sucker for falsetto. #CurtisMayfield, #AlGreen, #JuniorMurvin, #DAngelo, sometimes even frickin' #DarylHall for christ's sake - when these guys go up high into their head voices, I'm right there with them. Smokey, of course, is their king. And when he's singing such a beautiful, bittersweet song as this one, there's just no stopping him.

"Just to see her" by Smokey Robinson. It's a silky smooth heartbreak love song, where Smokey would do anything to see his honey again.

Big in the States in 1987 - number 1 Adult Contemporary, top ten overall.

Smokey's big comeback was a number 52 slipped disc over here, sold about 30,000 copies. Perhaps it is smooth and relaxed and bland enough for a suburban mall.

The Motown on Mono reissues sound fantastic. This was the last one I needed and got it last week for $8 which was a miracle in its own right. #miracles #smokeyrobinson #motown #vinyl #vinylrecords @vinylrecords
