Description: Smokey Robinson got stuck on the fourth — and key— line of the chorus while writing “The Tracks of My Tears.” But one morning, while shaving, he looked in the mirror and inspiration struck. What resulted was a Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song that went on to become one of Motown's greatest hits. It has been preserved by the U.S. Library of Congress and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007. Learn the full story behind the lyrics for one of the most popular Smokey Robinson songs — "The Tracks of My Tears."
