Cruising

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Many songs have been written about cruising, but they do not always refer to being on a boat.  Smokey Robinson wrote, produced, and recorded his song Cruisin’ for Motown records in 1979. His opening line is a classic when he writes, “Baby, let’s cruise, away from here.”  Cruisin’ was on Smokey’s Where There’s Smoke album and hit #1 on the Billboard charts in 1980.  One can get lost in Smokey’s smooth soul sound.
