Cruisin' - Huey Lewis & The News & Gwyneth Paltrow - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The smooth R&B jam "Cruisin'" was one of the most successful singles in Smokey Robinson's solo career. Fellow Miracle Marv Tarpin had written the music for the song five years before it eventually saw the light in August 1979. It was included in Smokey Robinson's 1979 album Where There's Smoke... and quickly climbed to the top of the US Cash Box Top 100, also reaching Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the following years, "Cruisin'" became a staple of the quiet storm radio format (a genre named after Smokey Robinson's 1975 album) and was covered by neo-soul artist D'Angelo on his critically acclaimed 1995 studio debut Brown Sugar. In 2000, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer-songwriter Huey Lewis recorded a version for the road trip film Duets, reaching the top of Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart in the US. It was also a Number 1 hit in Australia and New Zealand, where it was certified Platinum.
