Wikipedia article
"'Too Much Passion'" is a song by the American alternative rock group The Smithereens. It is the second single released in support of their fourth album 'Blow Up'.
It hit #8 on the Cash Box Top 100 (dated April 18, 1992) as well as #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also provided Smithereens with their first, and to date, only Adult Contemporary charting song, reaching #32 on that chart.
In the Smithereens guitar book, Pat DiNizio explains that he wrote the song to sound like the style of Smokey Robinson. There was also a music video directed by Jeff Stein (known for his work on 'The Kids Are Alright').[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRaDyf_kd_k Too Much Passion Official Music Video on YouTube]
