Am curious to know: why was it titled "The Smokey Robinson Show" when he was still with the Miracles? It's hard to believe this was used as a "launching pad" for his solo career, when he actually didn't leave the group until 2 years later. And why did only some of the Miracles perform? Claudette wasn't there, Pete wasn't there, Marv wasn't there.....or at least on camera.....
