This was originally a Smokey Robinson song. He wrote, produced, and recorded the song, and his version went to number four on Billboard's Hot 100 and Soul charts. Robinson released it on his ninth, rather cleverly titled studio album: Where There's Smoke...
The version above is from the movie Duets that starred Lewis and Paltrow. Those two actors, along with Paul Giamatti and Maria Bello recorded all their own vocals for the soundtrack. More recently, Paltrow has had singing roles in the TV show "Glee" and the movie Country Strong. Lewis has kept his acting to a minimum, mostly making cameos in TV shows (i.e. "Hot in Cleveland", "Just Shoot Me") and movies.
My favorite cameo Lewis does is in Back to the Future. Most people know he recorded a couple songs for the soundtrack to the film, most notably "Power of Love", but he also has a bit in the movie, too. When Marty's band is auditioning for the school dance, one of the judges stands up and with a bullhorn tells the band, The Pinheads, they're just "too darn loud". Yup, that's Huey.
