This is the header paragraph on a wikipedia page devoted to this TV special.
The Smokey Robinson Show was a 1970 musical variety special starring Smokey Robinson & The Miracles . It aired on ABC on December 18, 1970, and featured guest stars The Supremes,
The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and Las Vegas singer/performer and actress Fran Jeffries. The program was sponsored by Faberge and was produced by Screen Gems. The director was Kip Walton.[1]
Originally intended to be Smokey's sendoff into a solo career, the massive success of The Miracles' 1970 # 1 smash hit, "The Tears of a Clown" delayed his departure for another 2 years (strangely,
that song was not sung on the special). Filmed at the height of success of Motown Records, this special was essentially a launching pad for Smokey's solo career and to prepare the public for his
upcoming departure from the legendary Miracles - the very first of the Motown groups. The Miracles, however, were not at full strength, at the time of taping: Miracle Pete Moore was absent from
the special, having been sidelined by a leg injury shortly before filming, and Claudette (Mrs. Smokey) Robinson, another original Miracle, did not appear on the special. Miracle Marv Tarplin was
present, but did not appear on camera. Thus, the only Miracles present were Smokey, Ronnie White, and Bobby Rogers, who began the show with their 1963 Top 10 smash hit "Mickey's Monkey"
at the show's intro, and followed up with a medley of 3 of their greatest hits, "More Love", "If You Can Want", and "I Second That Emotion"
Grading
NM (Near Mint): Record and cover appear virtually unmarked.
EX: Looks & plays just under near mint, may have just a very few visual marks
VG+ : Used but not abused. Will likely have some relatively slight audible imperfections.
VG : Many only surface lines or may have a minor scratch .Some background sound but still enjoyable.
VG-: significant background sound from various defects but music always quite audible above it.
Under VG- I rarely list unless it is something really special.
