"I've Been Good to You" is a 1961 R&B song by The Miracles on Motown Records' Tamla label. It was released as the B-side of their ''Billboard'' Top 40 hit, "What's So Good About Goodbye", and was included on their album ''I'll Try Something New'' the following year. This sad, melancholy ballad charted #103 on the ''Billboard'' Pop chart. Despite its relatively modest chart placing, this song has been hugely influential, and is noted as Beatle John Lennon's favorite Miracles tune, and was the inspiration behind The Beatles' song, "Sexy Sadie". Written by Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson, the song begins with the lyric, "Look what you've done...You've made a fool out of someone..." which Lennon later paraphrased in ''his'' song as, "What have you done...You've made a fool of everyone." The song was performed live by the group on their album, ''The Miracles Recorded Live on Stage'', and has inspired cover versions by Marshall Crenshaw, Joe Meek, The Temptones, Ray, Goodman & Brown (The Moments), The Ones, and fellow Motown artists, Brenda Holloway, and The Temptations. The Temptations' version would also be released as a "B" side and would chart at #124 on the Pop charts in 1967 (as well be released on their 1966 album ''Gettin' Ready''). In addition to being on their first ''Live'' album, The Miracles' original version of "I've Been Good to You" actually appears on two other of their early 1960s albums; 1962's ''I'll Try Something New'', and 1963's ''The Fabulous Miracles''. ==Personnel – The Miracles== *Smokey Robinson – Lead vocals *Bobby Rogers – Background vocals *Pete Moore – Background vocals *Claudette Robinson – Background vocals *Ronnie White – Background vocals *Marv Tarplin – Guitar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I've Been Good to You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
