Motown at its most debonair and sexy. Smokey Robinson works his sweeping soul falsetto over unbelievably sad ballads including "The Tracks of My Tears" and "Ooh Baby Baby" as the Miracles sob along. Even obscurities such as "Choosey Beggar" are top-notch.

Total album sales: Under 500,000

Peak chart position: 8

Next: Labelle
