Miracles, The - Do It Baby '1973

Tracks list

Though not the artistic success of Renaissance, the Miracles second LP fared
better commercially due to the sinuous Do It Baby, their first bonafide hit
without Smokey Robinson. Do It Baby shocked many loyal Miracles fans; they had
never recorded a song as sexually explicit as the midtempo romper. Its easy to
see why Billy Griffin was chosen to replace Robinson -- his tenor is naturally
high like Smokeys, without ranging into falsetto. Some of the songs are too
saccharine, almost bubblegum; Up Again, for example, would have been better
suited for a younger group. Willie Hutchs I Cant Get Ready for Losing You,
however, is a guitar-driven smoker that speeds along like a runaway locomotive.
For some reason, What Is a Heart Good For, from the first album, is included
here too.
