THE MIRACLES 

HISTORY

The Miracles began in 1956 at Detroit’s Northern High School when childhood friends Bobby Rogers, Smokey Robinson, Claudette Robinson, Ronnie White, and Pete Moore formed a musical group that would become one of the most popular of all time. Signed to Berry Gordy’s legendary Motown Records, “Shop Around” became their first Gold Record and a number one smash on all the charts. The Miracles followed that up with hit after hit for over a decade.

In 1971, Smokey Robinson retired to spend time with his growing family. Billy Griffin replaced him and The Miracles continued their success with renowned producers like Marvin Gaye, Willie Hutch, and Freddie Perren, adding “Do It Baby” and “Love Machine”, expanding their influence in pop, R&B, and disco. The Miracles music became part of American culture, featured in movie soundtracks such as “The Big Chill”, “Platoon” and “Donnie Brasco.”

Today’s The Miracles have performed on television (The Today Show, Good Morning America), in Las Vegas (The Rio, Star Dust, the Freemont Street Experience), at Constitution Hall in Washington DC, and on stages all over the world. The Miracles continue to record, including a new Greatest Hits album, a live album,  and a holiday album CD of Christmas classics and two original songs. The Miracles received the Pioneer Award from The Rhythm & Blues Foundation and a star on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame. Recently they were voted Detroit’s first Motown group to be commemorated on its Walk of Fame. The Miracles are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fam
