Whose Fault Is It Today? (The Blame Game, Part 4)

Ever the perfect gentleman, Smokey Robinson takes the hit on this one ('cause he was a fool!)  

Here's another great Motown track that never seems to get played on the radio anymore ... despite its #18 showing back in 1971.

It's "I Don't Blame You At All" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles



(Hardly "blame free", Smokey and the Miracles also did a track called "Who's Gonna Take The Blame" the year before!)


***

And leave it to Howard Jones to be the perfect diplomat ... it ain't NOBODY's fault according to Howard.  
(This one reached #3 in 1986 ... with a little help from Phil Collins)

No One Is To Blame by Howard Jones
