In 1960, Spokey Robinson and the Merkles recorded [F] Shop Around.
Now, there were two versions of this song recorded.
[N] The first version is a slower version, commonly referred to as the [F#] Detroit version,
because it was a regional version.
The second one recorded was a much faster version, and that's the national hit version,
[F] which was their first million-selling single.
This version that you're about to hear [F#] is the original [D] Detroit version.
It was reissued in the mid-'60s, [F] which is why the label has that globe label,
[A#] which was their design in the mid-'60s, the Tamla label.
