The Miracles (also known as
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from
1965 to
1972) were an
American rhythm and blues vocal group that was the first successful recording act for
Berry Gordy's
Motown Records, and one of the most important and influential groups in pop, rock and roll, and
R&B; music history. Formed in
1955 by
Smokey Robinson,
Warren "Pete" Moore, and
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
Grammy Hall of Fame smash, "Shop Around" , and further established themselves as one of
Motown's top acts with the hit
singles "You've
Really Got a Hold on Me", "What's So Good About Goodbye", "Way Over There", "I'll Try Something New", "
Mickey's Monkey", "
Going to a Go-Go", "(Come '
Round Here)
I'm the One You
Need", "Just A
Mirage", "
If You Can Want", "
More Love", "
I Don't Blame You At All", "
Ooo Baby Baby", the multi-award-winning "
The Tracks of My Tears", "
Special Occasion", "
I Second That Emotion", "
Baby Baby Don't Cry", the number-one
Pop smashes "
The Tears of a Clown" and "
Love Machine", "
Do It Baby" , and "
My Girl Has Gone".
Referred to as Motown's "soul supergroup", the Miracles recorded 26
Top 40 hits, sixteen of which reached the
Billboard Top 20,seven top 10 singles, and a number one single ("The Tears of a Clown") 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, "Do It Baby" and "Love Machine", a second # 1 hit, which topped the charts before the group departed for
Columbia Records in
1977, recording as a quintet with
Donald Griffin, where after a few releases, they disbanded in 1978. In all, the group had over fifty charted hits by the time they disbanded. On the
R&B; charts, The Miracles scored 26 Top 10 Billboard
R&B; hits, with 4 R&B; # 1's. Bobby Rogers and
Ronald White revived the group as a touring ensemble sporadically during the
1980s and again in the
1990s with lead singer
Sydney Justin. Following
White's death in
1995, Rogers continued to tour with different members until he was forced into retirement due to health issues in
2011, dying less than two years later.
The Miracles have been awarded many top music industry honors over the years. In
1997, the group received the
Pioneer Award at the
Rhythm and Blues Foundation for their musical achievements. Four years later, in
2001, they were inducted to the
Vocal Group Hall of Fame. In 2004, they were ranked thirty-two on the
Rolling Stone magazine's list of
The 100 Greatest Artists of All
Time, retaining that same position seven years later, in 2011. Four of their hit songs were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2009, the group received a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. Throughout their careers, the Miracles were also enshrined with honors for their songwriting by both
BMI and
ASCAP. In 2008, Billboard listed them at #61 on their
100 most successful Billboard artists ever list. After much controversy, the Miracles were inducted to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
2012.
