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 #31, and missed the Top 20 of its R&B chart by only one position, peaking at #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 the late 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: </P> <Ul> <Li> Every day...</Li> <Li> I'm gonna love you, come what may </Li> <Li>' Cause I know that there is nothing that means more </Li> <Li> To a woman, </Li> <Li> than A Love That She Can Count On . </Li> </Ul>
