[PAR] [TLE] Ooh Baby (You Know That I Love You) [SEP] "Ooh Baby (You Know That I Love You)" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on his album "Extra Texture (Read All About It)".  Harrison wrote the composition as a tribute to American singer Smokey Robinson, whom he often identified as one of his favourite vocalists and songwriters.  The song was intended as a companion piece to Robinson's 1965 hit with the Miracles, "Ooo Baby Baby", and its inclusion on "Extra Texture" contributed to that album's standing as Harrison's soul music album.  His impersonation of Robinson's celebrated vocal style on the track, including portions sung in falsetto, contrasted with Harrison's hoarse, laryngitis-marred singing on his 1974 North American tour and the poorly received "Dark Horse" album. [PAR] [TLE] Smokey Robinson [SEP] William "Smokey" Robinson Jr. (born February 19, 1940) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and former record executive.  Robinson was the founder and front man of the Motown vocal group the Miracles, for which he also served as the group's chief songwriter and producer.  Robinson led the group from its 1955 origins as the Five Chimes until 1972 when he announced a retirement from the group to focus on his role as Motown's vice president.
