(1966):"For the song see Going to a Go-Go (song)""Going To A Go-Go" is a 1965 album by The Miracles, the first to bill the group as "Smokey Robinson & the Miracles". It includes four of the Miracles' Top 20 hits: "Ooo Baby Baby", "The Tracks of My Tears", "Going to a Go-Go", and "My Girl Has Gone". Primarily produced by Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson, "Going to a Go-Go" features compositions co-written by Miracles members Robinson, Ronald White, Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, and Marv Tarplin.

The album also features two important Miracles b-sides, "Choosey Beggar" and "A Fork in the Road". "Choosey Beggar" charted on the "Billboard" Hot R&B Singles chart at number 35. "A Fork in the Road", on the other hand, did not chart nationally, but proved to be a strong regional hit in several areas of the country and was regularly performed as part of the Miracles' live show.

"Going To A Go-Go" was the only Miracles studio LP to chart within the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart, where it peaked at number-eight. The LP peaked at number-one on "Billboard's" R&B albums chart. "Going to a Go-Go" was reissued on CD in 2002, coupled with the Miracles' "Away We A Go-Go". A live version of "A Fork in the Road" is included as a bonus track. RS500|271
