This day in music history.

October 19, 1967, "I Second That Emotion" is released. It eventually makes it to number one on the R&B charts and will be Smokey Robinson & the Miracles biggest hit in 8 years, and their first hit since changing their name from the Miracles to Smokey Robinson And The Miracles. They were from Detroit Michigan and recorded for Motown. Bob Dylan once called Smokey one of America's greatest poets.
I Second That Emotion by Smokey Robinson And The Miracles
Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said,
if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl,
in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion...
