"Doggone Right" is a 1969 single recorded by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles for the Tamla label. Written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson & Marvin Tarplin and Motown staff songwriter Al Cleveland and produced by Robinson, the single peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. "Doggone Right" was actually the b-side of the Miracles' single "Here I Go Again", although both sides charted within the Hot 100's Top 40.
Smokey Robinson sings the main lead vocal on the song. Miracles bass singer Warren "Pete" Moore has got also a lead on the part where he repeats "Doggone right", first sung by the group. The song is about when the narrator feels down, his girl will cheer him up. The narrator also tells that he would be true to his girl if she would accept his love. The Miracles premiered this song for national television audiences on a 1969 telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show, marking their second appearance on the program.
