  • You may not know how
    To make words rhyme
    Carry a tune or a clap on time now
    You may have no knowledge of musical things
    But deep down inside of me
    You have created a melody
    You're the composer of the song
    That my heart sings
    You may not what
    Quarter notes are
    Or what I mean by Four to the Bar now
    Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears
    But deep down inside of me
    You have created a melody
    You're the composer of the song
    That my heart hears
    Now it's a tender song
    It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
    This song I find in this heart of mine
    And it's begging you
    Let nothing keep us apart
    Oh, my darling
    Cause you put a song in my heart
    Now this song that I find in my heart for you
    Every lyric and line
    I swear it's true
    The number one song on my personal chart
    Deep down inside of me
    You have created a melody
    You're the composer of the song
    That's in my heart
    Deep down inside of me
    You have created a symphony
    You're the composer
    You put a song in my heart
    You're the composer
    You put a song in my heart
    You're the composer
    You put a song in my heart Writer/s: SMOKEY ROBINSON, WILLIAM ROBINSON JR.

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn April 13th 1969, Diana Ross appeared, as a solo artist, on the NBC-TV special 'Dinah Shore's Like Hep' show...
    At the time she had two records on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; at #25* with the Supremes & the Temptations with "I'll Try Something New" and lower down the chart at #53 with just the Supremes with "The Composer"...
    Her first solo effort to make the Top 100 would come a year later in April of 1970 with "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)"; it would peak at #20 on the chart...
    * #25 was its peak position on the Top 100, it was at #25 for two weeks.
