Smokey Robinson:
I first heard this song sung
by an artist I really greatly

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,970
admire, Dion DiMucci.

4
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:11,537
The first time I heard it,
it brought tears to my eyes.

5
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:15,063
I loved it so much that I
recorded it with the Miracles.

6
00:00:15,066 --> 00:00:20,766
To this day, I'm reminded
of a time of great sadness.

7
00:00:20,767 --> 00:00:24,697
And each time I sing it, it
brings back the memory of men

8
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:26,700
who we lost.

9
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,530
To sing it here tonight on this
occasion and in this place is

10
00:00:31,533 --> 00:00:35,663
something that I
will always remember.
