Blacktop Mojo - My Girl

Thursday, time for a cover.

"My Girl" is a soul music song recorded by the TEMPTATIONS for the Gordy (Motown) record label. Written and produced by the MIRACLES members Smokey Robinson and Ronald White, it became the TEMPTATIONS' first U.S. number 1 single, and is today their signature song. Robinson's inspiration for writing "My Girl" was his wife, Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson. The song was included on the TEMPTATIONS 1965 album "The Temptations Sing Smokey". In 2017, the song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant".

Over time, "My Girl", with its signature introduction and unrestrained expression of joy, would become one of Motown's best-known and most successful singles. "My Girl" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.

Today's reimagined version of "My Girl" is made by the Palestine, Texas rock band BLACKTOP MOJO. The band consists of vocalist Matt James, drummer Nathan Gillis, guitarist Chuck Wepfer, and bassist Matt Curtis.

The band was founded by Matt James and Nathan Gillis in 2012. Enjoy today's cover!
