Smokey Robinson - Deep In My Soul '1977

Tracks list

Deep in My Soul is an unusual Smokey Robinson LP in that he only contributed one
song, Vitamin U, a forgettable attempt at disco, though an amusing play on
words. Kathy Wakefield and Mike & Brenda Suttons There Will Come a Day uses a
similar piano opening to You Really Got a Hold on Me; while pleasant, it is far
less riveting than the Miracles classic. The standouts are the tingling In My
Corner and two Donald Baldwin/Jeffrey Bowen tunes, If You Want My Love and You
Cannot Laugh Alone. For years, the latter cut alone made this an essential
Smokey Robinson LP. You couldnt find it anywhere else, not even on a 45; Motown
has since released it on Smokeys Motown Legends collection. The lyrically clever
song has a great chorus with Smokey crooning Your love was crackerjack/A
surprise in every pack/A myth a fantasy/A package C.O.D. Deep in My Soul only
had seven songs, and surprisingly climbed to number 47 on the pop charts, a far
better showing than his debut, which peaked at number 70.
