#25 What's So Good About Goodbye -- The Miracles (1962)



This one was a favorite of Weasel, back in the heyday of WHFS. It’s not one of Smokey Robinson’s better-known songs, but is certainly one of his best. (Fellow Miracle Marv Tarplin does the Duane Eddy-style guitar.) The bridge is classic Smokey:

“How can goodbye be good
To a lover who really cares
And another thing I would like to clarify
Is how can farewell be fair.”
