And this song " I'm On The Outside (Looking In)", which was one of The Imperials' bigger hits. "In the songs that Smokey and I wrote together, Smokey and Berry kinda left the background vocals to me. On the 2006 Motown DVD The Miracles' Definitive Performances, Pete comments on the song's creation: The song is one of the Miracles' most-covered tunes. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the Miracles' original version of this song as #266 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song's highly emotional feel is supported by the Miracles' tight background vocal harmonies, arranged by Miracles member and song co-author Pete Moore, and a lush orchestral string arrangement that accents The Funk Brothers band's instrumental track. Ī slow, remorseful number, "Ooo Baby Baby" features Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson lamenting the fact that he cheated on his woman, and begging for her to overlook his mistakes and please forgive him. Written by Robinson and fellow Miracle Pete Moore and produced by Robinson, "Ooo Baby Baby" was a number 4 hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart and reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
