So right, Ralph. What really boils my blood, is putting someone like Suzanne DePasse in when MARY WELLS & also the Marvelettes have not been put in YEARS AGO.They were true pioneers.
Smokey didn't go to college so I guess he meant they went to high school together but 1962 was long past his high school.By 1962 The Miracles were HUGE Stars and Smokey a HUGE writer/producer, so he...
