THE MIRACLES! MOTOWN ’60s SNAPSHOT FLASHBACKS

‘GOING TO A GO-GO,’ was the 8th album the Miracles recorded for the Tamla label. Released in November 1965, the album was the first LP headlining the group’s new billing, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. The album produced four Top 20 singles. “OOO Baby Baby” (Pop; #16), “The Tracks Of My Tears” (Pop; #16), “My Girl Has Gone” (Pop; #14) and “Going To A Go-Go” (Pop; #11), their biggest selling single from the album. All four singles released were produced by Smokey Robinson.  All songs (except one track in the LP) were written by Smokey Robinson and credited named members of the Miracles. All four singles off the album were released in 1965. ‘Going To A Go-Go,’ the LP, became the only album in their career to break Top 10 (#8) and would remain on the Billboard LP chart for 40 weeks before dropping off the album chart, September 1966. The LP was produced by Smokey Robinson, Frank Wilson and William “Mickey” Stevenson.
