This is one of my least favorite takes of this classic Smokey Robinson song, but now that I'm posting on YouTube I feel like I have a whole nation of short attention spans to impress, and I'm not as weird as Hannes Coetzee or that "Chocolate Rain" guy so I ought to post something where I play really fast. I'll post a version of this with a little more character some other time.
Remember, kids - speed kills.
Actually, if you're gonna check this junk out, do me a favor and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9w1mG6R53M where I'm playing well instead of just fast.
As always, please pardon my vocals.

"WOLE LOT OF SHAKING GOING ON (SINCE I LEFT YOU)" - Released 1966 on Tamla 54134, THE MIRACLES, (The Miracles were known from 1965 to 1972 as Smokey Robinson & the Miracles) is an American rhythm and blues group from Detroit, Michigan, notable as the first successful group act for Berry Gordy's Motown Records. The Miracles went on to become one of Motown's signature acts of the 1960s, during which time their original lead singer and founding member Smokey Robinson became one of the most successful songwriters and record producers of all time. During their nineteen year run on the American music charts, The Miracles charted over fifty hits and recorded in the genres of doo wop, soul, disco, and R&B. Twenty-six Miracles songs reached the Top Ten of the Billboard R&B singles chart, including four R&B number ones. Sixteen of the Miracles' songs charted within the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, with seven songs charting within the Top Ten and two - 1970's "The Tears of a Clown" and 1975's "Love Machine" (Part 1) - reaching number-one. The Miracles began with two young Detroit students, William Robinson and Ronald White, who had become friends and started singing together while in the fifth grade. Robinson, nicknamed "Smokey" because of his love of cowboy movies, started a doo-wop group called The Five Chimes in 1955 at Northern High School with himself, White, bass singer Pete Moore (another childhood friend who Smokey knew since he was age 11) , Clarence Dawson, and James Grice. Within a half a year, Dawson and Grice had been replaced by cousins Emerson and Bobby Rogers, and the group's name had been changed to The Matadors. Rogers and Robinson were actually born on the same day - February 19, 1940 - in the same Detroit hospital, although they did not meet until they were fifteen years old. Emerson Rogers was drafted in 1956. He was replaced by his sister Claudette Rogers, who married Smokey Robinson in November 1959. In 1958, the group added guitarist Marv Tarplin, who had originally been the accompanist for The Primettes (later known as The Supremes). In 1958, the Matadors auditioned for the manager of Detroit soul star Jackie Wilson, who turned the group down because he felt their sound and four-man-one-woman lineup were too similar to The Platters, a popular vocal group. On their way out the door, the group ran into one of Wilson's chief songwriters, Berry Gordy, Jr. Gordy took a liking to the group, and eventually became the group's manager. In addition, Gordy worked closely with Robinson, the Matadors' chief songwriter, helping him to improve his songcraft. Gordy and his colleague Billy Davis had written a song called "Got a Job" as an answer song to "Get A Job", a recent hit by The Silhouettes. The Matadors recorded the single, and Gordy arranged a record deal for them with End Records. At this time, they changed their name to The Miracles, as "Matadors" had a masculine sound to it, and the group now included a woman. Gordy became the group's main outside collaborator, and he and Robinson wrote another Miracles single, "Bad Girl". Issued on Chess Records, "Bad Girl" became the group's first charting single, peaking at #93. Other early songs that brought regional attention to the group included "Way Over There"( which eventually charted nationally at # 94 Pop ), "I Need A Change", "Whatever Makes You Happy" "Would I Love You" ,"Happy Landing", and "You Can Depend On Me". Frustrated by low financial returns due to the group's practice of selling their masters to various labels, Robinson suggested Gordy start his own record label. Thus, in 1959, Gordy founded Tamla Records (later Motown), and signed The Miracles as one of his first acts. By 1961, Robinson would be appointed vice-president of the corporation. Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is the second greatest hits album for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, released in 1968 on Motown Records' Tamla label. It contained the most popular singles from the successful Going To A Go-Go, Away We A Go-Go and Make It Happen albums of the 1965-67 period. It also featured the 1964 non-album single "Come On Do The Jerk", and two B-sides, "Choosey Beggar" and "Save Me". The hit single "I Second That Emotion" was new to album. This album reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, peaking at #7.

*** Note to YouTubers ***
I tried to upload it to Google Video for the stereo sound but they were disabled and I received copyright notices. At least the 4 videos are being allowed here on YouTube and I can still upload stuff to Google Video. I just gotta be aware of copyright issues.

I've found this at a flea market back in the late '80s. The record itself is in better shape than the album cover.
"Ain't Too Proud to Beg" - The Temptations
"(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" - Aretha Franklin
"I Second That Emotion" - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
******************************************
Something I've recently learned: You can hear it in stereo by adding &fmt=18 at the end of the URL. It works with Firefox but not with the Internet Explorer.
