The Miracles: Thank The Beatles
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, February 1970
SMOKEY ROBINSON and the Miracles flew into London specifically to appear on Tom Jones TV show. Even if many Soul fans disapprove of what Mr. Jones sings on his shows and on record, it cannot be disputed that he has been directly responsible for bringing into Britain certain acts that would otherwise not have come. For example, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
