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. It's easy
to see why Billy Griffin was chosen to replace Robinson -- his tenor is
naturally high like Smokey's, 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 Hutch's "I Can't 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.
