Smokey Robinson & the Miracles: Flying High Together [Tamla, 1972]
A dutiful, pleasant, and very mild close-out--I enjoy "With Your Love Came," for instance, mostly because it starts out like "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever." Easy to imagine better versions of the nice enough Ashford-Simpson and Wonder-Wright songs, and the champ adds only a Johnny Bristol piano riff to hits by up-and-coming falsettos Record, Thompkins, and Jackson. C+
