Motown legend Smokey Robinson tweeted a call to celebrate “My Girl” this Mother’s Day. He wrote the song – made popular by The Temptations – after the smash hit “My Guy” he wrote for Mary Wells in 1964. Both songs reached the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

Smokey’s own mother Flossie died when he was age 10.

Happy Mother’s Day!
