By the Numbers
Flying High Together is the fifteenth and final studio album by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles as a unit with Robinson, released in 1972 on Tamla Records. The album marks the close of a remarkable chapter in Motown history, Robinson had led the group since 1955, writing and producing virtually their entire catalog while simultaneously serving as one of Motown's most prolific in-house songwriters. 'We've Come Too Far to End It Now,' co-written with Al Cleveland, functions almost as a farewell statement, its message of perseverance carrying an autobiographical weight given Robinson's impending departure. With this album Robinson concluded a Miracles era that produced classic soul standards including 'The Tracks of My Tears,' 'Ooo Baby Baby,' and 'I Second That Emotion.' He would go on to Motown's vice presidency and a solo career that began immediately in 1973, but Flying High Together represents the end of his most prolific creative partnership.
