By the Numbers
Make It Happen is the tenth studio album by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, released in April 1967 on Tamla/Motown and produced by Smokey Robinson. The album continued the extraordinary run of creative and commercial success that had made the Miracles one of Motown's most reliable hitmakers through the mid-1960s. The single 'The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage,' co-written with Marv Tarplin, became another top-twenty pop hit demonstrating Robinson's continued mastery of the bittersweet, emotionally complex love song. The album also reflected the influence of the British Invasion on American soul production, with subtle psychedelic touches appearing in the arrangements. Make It Happen is an accomplished and warmly satisfying entry in the Miracles' catalog from the peak years of classic soul.
