Miracles, The – Do It Baby – Used LP

VG+/VG+ Sawcut cutout. 

1974.

"The Miracles' second LP fared better commercially due to the sinuous "Do It Baby," their first bonafide hit without Smokey. "Do It Baby" shocked many loyal Miracles fans; they had never recorded a song as sexually explicit as the midtempo romper. It's easy to see why Billy Griffin was chosen to replace Robinson -- his tenor is naturally high like Smokey's, without ranging into falsetto. Some of the songs are almost bubblegum; "Up Again," for example, would have been better suited for a younger group. Willie Hutch's "I Can't Get Ready for Losing You," however, is a guitar-driven smoker that speeds along like a runaway locomotive. For some reason, "What Is a Heart Good For," from the first album, is included here too."
