\"Smokey<\/a>By Bob Berry<\/p>\n

I was having lunch the other day, and\u00a0 “Going To A Go-Go<\/strong><\/a>” came over the speakers in the restaurant.<\/p>\n

And I started seat dancing to one of the great grooves in Motown history!<\/p>\n

Bennie Benjamin fabulous tom-tom back-beat, then James Jamerson’s\u00a0 bass line locking in with Marv Tarplin’s lead guitar, and The Miracles, Claudette, Bobby, Ronnie and Pete singing the hook smooth as butter.<\/p>\n

So there you are, already movin’ in places where most people (especially from outside “The D”) don’t have places-and finally, we get Smokey’s joyful, “come join us” lead vocal: “They come from everywhere, and if you drop in there, you might see anyone in town..”.<\/p>\n

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles<\/a><\/strong>, “Going To A Go-Go”!\u00a0 The Keener Friday Song. “You should have some fun, I’m telling everyone…”, and enjoy this extraordinary “real, live” performance on Hullaballoo.<\/p>\n
