The R.B.D. Black History Month Song o' the Day

Anti-Valentine's '18
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, "Tears of a Clown" from Motown 1's (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public,
But when it comes down to fooling you,
Now, Honey, that's quite a different subject.

"But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression.

"Really, I'm sad,
Sadder than sad,
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad,
Like a clown I pretend to be glad,
Now there's some sad things known to Man,
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown,
When there's no one around…"
