This was written and very likely produced by Smokey Robinson.
Listen to the vocal phrasings and intonations for his style.
He is an extraordinary musical talent, or at least he was.
Berry Gordy should have made him an equal business partner in Motown.
As was this early but fairly obscure Temptations song. One of my favorites.
Yes, Smokey is/was a genius.
