繊細なボーカルと洗練されたコーラスワーク

2003年12月24日に日本でレビュー済み

　ミラクルズっていうとOoo Baby Babyが有名だけど、それが収録されたGoing To A Go-Goよりもアルバムの完成度から言えばこのMake It Happenの収録されたこちらの方が格段に上ですね。
　My Love For You、I'm On The Outside、More Loveなどに代表される洗練されたコーラスワークとSmokey Robinsonの繊細なボーカルは素晴らしいの一言。今後この類のアルバムはオムニバス以外ではなかなか入手しづらくなるだろうから、ぜひ入手しておくことをおすすめします。ぜひ。

Motown clowns miss obvious big hit

2009年4月2日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Make it happen, the first album here, was released in 1967. All but one (I'm on the outside looking in, cover of a song written and first recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials) of the songs here were written by Motown songwriters, with Smokey Robinson himself co-writing many of them. In the album charts, this one made the top 3 in the R+B charts and the top 30 in the American pop charts but didn't chart in Britain. The first single from the album, The love I saw in you was just a mirage, just made he American top 20 in the pop charts, and just made the top 10 in the R+B charts. The follow-up, More love, made the top five in the R+B charts but stalled outside the top 20 in the pop charts. Both singles were released in Britain but neither charted. Nevertheless, there is much to commend this album with plenty of other great tracks, from the opening The soulful shack to the closing Tears of a clown, which we`ll come back to later.

Before the follow-up album, Special occasion, was released in 1968, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles had a huge American hit (top five pop, number one R+B) with their classic song, I second that emotion, which also became a minor UK hit. It is a pity that this track was not included here as a bonus track, though it is readily available on compilations of the group's music as well as on some multi-artist Motown compilations.

Special occasion, the album occupying the second half of this twofer, made the top 50 of the American pop album charts and the very top of the R+B album charts. It didn't chart in Britain. Smokey Robinson wrote or co-wrote all but two of the songs. One of the exceptions is the Beatles classic Yesterday, while the other is the Motown classic I heard it through the grapevine. Apparently, four different versions were recorded of this song before Motown chose to release the one by Gladys Knight and the Pips as a single. It was very successful, but a year later, another of the four original versions, that by Marvin Gaye, was released as a single and it became an international number one hit. Still, the version here, also one of those four original versions, is an excellent version in its own right, though I can't deny that Marvin's version is the best one. The other version making up the quartet was by the Temptations, their version appearing on one of their 1969 albums, Cloud nine.

Three singles were released from Special occasion. None charted in Britain, but all made the American R+B top 10 and they all made the American pop charts. Of these, If you can want (the first single) just missed the top 10, while the other two (Yester love and Special occasion) were minor hits. Like the first album here, the album is of a consistently high quality throughout, with plenty of great music.

Britain was slow to really appreciate Motown, but interest increased in the late sixties. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, thus far largely unsuccessful in Britain, had their first big UK hit in 1969 when Tracks of my tears, an old album track (from Going to a-go, featured on a different twofer in this series), was released as a single and made the top 10. It wasn't released in America, but Linda Ronstadt eventually covered the song and had a huge American hit with the song in the mid-seventies. In 1970, another old Smokey Robinson and the Miracles album track, Tears of a clown, was released as a single. It did far better than Tracks of my tears, going all the way to number one in the UK charts. American Motown couldn't ignore this, especially as the group were struggling somewhat in the pop charts, although they were still doing the business in the R+B charts. So Tears of a clown was released as an American single, matching its UK success by making number one in both the pop and R+B charts. The question that can never be answered is why was this track overlooked as a potential single originally?

If you enjoy the music of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and wish to explore what else the group has to offer besides the obvious hits, this is a great twofer to listen to.

The 2 in 1 cds are a fabulous way to regain on cd long worn out lps.
Make it happen was released twice once as Tears of a clown. I think if you like Smokey you should like this. Its a shame that in Motowns 50 year celebration Universal are not looking for classy material like this to rerelease and just repackaging the same greatest hits cds under different names. Hip O Select are doing a much better job than Universal Motown.
