Song Note

One of the first hits written by Motown founder Gordy, "Lonely Teardrops" set Wilson's pleading vocals over Latin rhythms. At a New Jersey casino in September 1975, Wilson collapsed from a heart attack onstage, in the middle of singing "Lonely Teardrops" -- right at the line "My heart is crying." He sank into a coma and died in 1984.
