Cruisin' (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Cruisin'" is a 1979 single written, produced, and recorded by Smokey Robinson for Motown Records' Tamla label. One of Robinson's most successful singles outside of his work with The Miracles, "Crusin" peaked at number-four on the Billboard Hot 100. It is included on Robinson's ninth studio album, Where There's Smoke....
A number of covers of the song have been recorded over the years. Neo soul musician D'Angelo covered "Crusin'" on his 1995 album Brown Sugar. D'Angelo's cover was issued as a single on Virgin Records, and peaked at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number ten on the Billbaord Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Chart. A later cover by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis for the soundtrack of the 2000 film Duets reached number one on the ARIA Charts in Australia in 2001 for two weeks.
