Smokey Robinson and The Miracles were a Motown Band, who greatly influenced later musicians both black and white .... yesterday they lost Marv Tarplin, one of their original sound to old age ..... he co-wrote several of their hits including Tracks of My Tears, which was released in 1965 and helped set them on their way.
Billy Wilson of the Motown Alumni Association paid this tribute .... "His creative backbeat rhythms on guitar allowed the powers that be to find the creative juices to formulate what would become major classic hits for Motown."
No flowers on the streets of major cities, nor world headlines, but in its own way, a loss equally as tragic as that of a computer designer.
