The disc also features 2 hit songs by the group featuring Smokey's replacement, Billy Griffin, and three of Smokey's Post- Miracles solo hits. During the interview, the three Miracles discuss the history of the group, the formation of Motown, and detailed stories behind the creation of some of their greatest hits. According to David Peck, producer of the disk for Reelin' In The Years, The Miracles' "Definitive DVD" has been awarded Certified Gold status by the RIAA .

Note : the foreign release of this DVD includes an extra track not included in the U.S. release: "Yesterday" from The Ed Sullivan Show-1968. Miracles member Marv Tarplin is featured prominently in this performance. All tracks have been remastered for this release.
