  • "A Love She Can Count On" is a 1963 hit single by Motown Records R&B group the Miracles, issued on that label's Tamla subsidiary label. It was taken from their album The Fabulous Miracles, and was the follow-up to the group's million-selling Grammy Hall of Fame inducted tune, "You've Really Got A Hold On Me".The first of three singles released by The Miracles that year, this song was a Billboard Top 40 Pop Hit, peaking at number 31, and missed the Top 20 of its R&B chart by only one position, peaking at number 21. Written and produced by Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson, "A Love She Can Count On" features the same bluesy sound and feel of "Hold On Me", featuring the gospel-inspired harmonies of Miracles members Bobby Rogers, Claudette Robinson, Pete Moore, and Ronnie White, and, like that previous song, begins with the guitar of Miracles member Marv Tarplin. However, that is where the similarities end; unlike the previous hit, with its theme of being in love with someone you don't like, "A Love She Can Count On" has as its theme undying love and loyalty, with Robinson, as the song's narrator, promising eternal love and devotion: Every day ...I'm gonna love you, come what may'Cause I know that there is nothing that means moreTo a woman,than a love that she can count on The other Miracles participate in a sing-along call and response with Smokey on the song's bridge, similar to the song that, according to Smokey, inspired both this song and "Hold On Me", Sam Cooke's 1962 hit "Bring It On Home to Me". The single and album versions of this song are noticeably different, the album version of "A Love She Can Count On" featuring a bluesy piano style as was done by its predecessor "You've Really Got A Hold On Me". For the most part the piano was deleted from the single version, not being featured as prominently. It also features a completely different vocal take. Cash Box described it as "a pulsating, shuffle beat ballad romancer that the songsters carve out in groovy style." Unlike almost all other singles from The Miracles, and indeed many other songs by the group, "A Love She Can Count On" has not yet been covered by major acts. This was also the case with the B-side of the single, "I Can Take A Hint", despite the fact that it was also a chart hit, reaching number 107 on the Billboard Pop chart. "A Love She Can Count On" appears on several Miracles "Greatest Hits" collections, including their album Greatest Hits from the Beginning, and their 2009 two-CD set, The Miracles–Depend On Me: The Early Albums (which features both live and studio versions). The Miracles also performed a special extended version of the song on their first live album, 1963's The Miracles Recorded Live on Stage. This song was also given an extended stereo remix in 2002 for the compilation Ooo Baby Baby: The Anthology. (en)
  • "A Love She Can Count On" is een hitsingle van de Amerikaanse soulgroep The Miracles. Het was, na "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", het tweede nummer van het album "" dat uitgebracht werd op single. In maart 1963 was "A Love She Can Count On" de eerste van drie singles die dat jaar uitgebracht zouden worden door The Miracles. Het was na haar opvolger "Mickey's Monkey" de meest succesvolle single van de groep van dat jaar op de poplijst. Het verdiende namelijk een #31 notering op die lijst in de Verenigde Staten. Op de R&B-lijst in datzelfde land deed de single het beter, door als piek de #21 notering te vergaren. Ook de andere single van de groep van dat jaar, "I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying" deed het daarop echter beter. Zoals veel nummers van The Miracles schreef leadzanger Smokey Robinson ook "A Love She Can Count On" voor de groep. Vaak schreef hij de nummers samen met andere leden van de groep of hun gitarist, . "A Love She Can Count On" schreef Robinson echter alleen. Tevens was hij degene die het nummer produceerde. Beide versies, want er zijn er namelijk twee. De singleversie van "A Love She Can Count On" verschilt met de op "The Fabulous Miracles" uitgebrachte versie. In de versie dat op het album verscheen is er een veel grotere rol weggelegd voor een bluesy piano, in de stijl zoals dit gedaan werd bij voorganger "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" en bij "Jimmy Mack" van collega's bij Motown, Martha & The Vandellas. Toen werd besloten dat het nummer in kwestie op single uitgebracht zou worden, werd het echter opnieuw opgenomen. Dit was omdat het nummer nog te onsamenhangend klonk, volgens de staff van Motown. Bij de singlesversie is de bluesy piano partij weggelaten. "A Love She Can Count On" had bij allebei de opnames echter veel weg van haar voorganger. Doordat "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" de tot dan toe op een na grootste hit was voor de groep, had Motown besloten dat het volgende nummer van The Miracles erop moest lijken. Dit principe om veel singles te verkopen werd vaker gebruikt door de platenmaatschappij. Zo lijken de hits "I Can't Help Myself" en "It's the Same Old Song" van de Four Tops erg veel op elkaar, net zoals "Where Did Our Love Go" en "Baby Love" van The Supremes. In tegenstelling tot bijna alle andere singles van The Miracles, en overigens ook veel andere nummers van de groep, werd "A Love She Can Count On" tot nu toe niet gecoverd door grote acts. Ook bij de B-kant van de single, "", was dit het geval. Wel wist dit nummer als een van de weinige B-kanten ook een notering op de poplijst te vergaren. Het bereikte #7 op de Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, waarmee het dus een #107 notering verdiende. (nl)
