GOING TO A GO-GO opens with one of their biggest and most enduring numbers, \"The Tracks of My Tears.\" As was the working method at Motown, other tracks on the album had their origins in assorted earlier or later sessions. But such was the cohesive identity of Robinson's songs and voice that, taken as a whole, it's a strikingly organic work. By turns soulful, funky, popish and doo-wop-influenced, it represents a time of enormous possibilities for Robinson, Motown and music in general.\nAWAY WE GO-GO continues the wining streak with Robinson's songs being joined by Holland-Dozier-Holland and a few other writers, including a pair by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, both of which are a perfect fit. Previously unreleased bonus tracks include the sweeping panorama of \"Goin' Out of My Head\" and a live version of \"A Fork in the Road,\" where studio precision amazingly springs to perfect life on the stage.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/26\/2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Smokey Robinson \/ Mira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562278514921,"sku":"O5NNED-POK4-00","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Smokey-Robinson-Mira-MOTOWN-CLASSIC-ALBUM_RotoT.jpg?v=1758803508","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/smokey-robinson-mira-motown-classic-album","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
