Biography
The Miracles (also known as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from 1965 to 1972) were an American R & B vocal group that was the first successful recording act for Motown Records. Formed in 1955 by Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore sand Ronnie White, the group started off as the Five Chimes, changing their name to the Matadors two years later. The group then settled on the Miracles after the inclusion of Claudette Robinson in 1958. The most notable Miracles line-up included the Robinsons, Moore, White, Bobby Rogers and Marv Tarplin. After a failed audition with Brunswick Records, the group began working with songwriter Berry Gordy, who helped to produce their first records for the End and Chess labels before establishing Tamla Records in 1959 and signing the Miracles as its first act. The group eventually scored the label's first million-selling hit record with the 1960 smash, "Shop Around" , and further established themselves as one of Motown's top acts with many hit singles
Referred to as Motown's "soul supergroup", the Miracles recorded 26 Top 40 hits while the Robinsons and Tarplin were members. Following the departure of Tarplin and the Robinsons, the rest of the group continued with singer Billy Griffin and scored two final top 20 singles, they disbanded in 1978. In all, the group had over 50 charted hits by the time they disbanded.
