"Whole Lot Of Shakin' In My Heart (Since I Met You)" by The Miracles
The Miracles were one of greatest soul groups to emerge from Detroit. Led by the amazing Smokey Robinson, the group dominated the 60s with an impressive string of top 40 hits that earned them the 18th most successful group of the decade. Some of their best known classics include "Shop Around" (#2), "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (#8), "The Tracks Of My Tears" (#16), "I Second That Emotion" (#4), and "Baby, Baby Don't Cry" (#8). The Miracles could boast two #1 hits in their career: "The Tears Of A Clown" from 1970 and "Love Machine (Part 1)" from 1976. The latter was with Robinson's replacement, Billy Griffin, after he left The Miracles in 1973 for a solo career. It was also the group's final appearance on the chart. "Whole Lot Of Shakin' In My Heart (Since I Met You)" is a lost gem from 1966 that stalled at #46.
