"Being with You" is a 1981 song recorded by American singer Smokey Robinson. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart from March to early May 1981 and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes, his highest charting solo hit on the Billboard pop charts. It also reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.
Robinson approached George Tobin, who had produced Kim Carnesâ cover of the Robinson-written âÂÂMore LoveâÂÂ, and offered the song to Carnes. However, Tobin was no longer working with Carnes at that point and after hearing the demo suggested Robinson record it himself. Tobin also agreed to produce the track.
"Being with You" is the title track from Robinson's Gold-certified album with the same name. The song reached No. 1 on the US Cash Box Top 100. The track was also a No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart in June 1981, becoming Robinson's second UK No. 1 single and his first as a solo artist.
Soon after Robinson's English single was released, Motown's subsidiary label Tamla released a Spanish version of the song under the title of "Aqui Con Tigo" (Tamla T 54325F), backed with a bilingual English/Spanish version.
