Do It Baby (album)
"Do It Baby" (TS334), was a 1974 R&B album by The Miracles issued on Motown's Tamla subsidiary label. It was noted as the second album by the group featuring new lead singer Billy Griffin, after the departure of original Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson two years earlier. This was the first-ever Miracles album which had absolutely no creative input from Robinson whatsoever. While the group's first album with Griffin, Renaissance (which was executive-produced by Robinson), was critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful, "Do It Baby" was much more successful, reaching No. 41 on the Billboard pop albums chart and No. 4 of the Billboard R&B albums chart. History The album's cover is a humorous cartoon drawing by Frank Frezzo that depicts the four Miracles, Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, Ron White, and Billy Griffin onstage, performing the "Miracle" of parting a "Red Sea" of concert-goers. The obvious difference in the chart placings of the two albums was because, while Renaissance had no hit singles, this album had the advantage of being fronted by the Miracles' first big hit with Griffin, the million-selling title track, "Do It Baby", which proved to the world that The Miracles could indeed have big hits without Smokey
