BEHIND THE SONG

Inspiration and background

Researched recording background

The Tracks of My Tears appeared as a Miracles single in 1965 before its inclusion on Going to a Go-Go that November. Motown's history identifies Marv Tarplin's guitar contribution and the songwriting partnership of Smokey Robinson, Tarplin and Warren Pete Moore. The explicitly labeled mono single is retained as its own presentation alongside album and later stereo catalog versions.

Evidence scope: Sourced recording, release or edition context; private songwriting inspiration is not inferred.
