Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
The Miracles are an American rhythm and blues group, notable as the first successful act for Berry Gordy's Motown Record Corporation. Their 1960 song, "Shop Around" became Motown's first million-selling hit record, and the group went on to become one of Motown's "signature acts" of the 1960s, and one of the most important and influential groups in music history. Formed in 1955 by William "Smokey" Robinson, Warren "Pete" Moore and Ronald "Ronnie" White, the most famous and consistent lineup of the Miracles was that of Robinson, White, Moore, Bobby Rogers, Claudette Robinson and Marvin "Marv" Tarplin.

Referred to as Motown's "soul supergroup", The Miracles are multiple Grammy Hall of Fame Inductees, and inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Doo-Wop Hall of Fame, The Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and received a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009.

The Miracles have charted over 50 Billboard hit singles between 1959 and 1978, including 26 Top Ten Billboard R&B Hits, with four R&B # 1's. Sixteen of their songs reached the Top Twenty of the Billboard Hot 100, with seven songs reaching the Top Ten, and two, 1970's "The Tears of A Clown" and 1975's "Love Machine", reaching number one, with a third song, "Shop Around", reaching #1 on the Cash Box magazine Top 100 pop chart .

In 2004, and again in 2011, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Smokey Robinson & the Miracles #32 on their list of "The Immortals: The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time." They are also ranked in the Top 100 Artists of All Time in Billboard's and VH-1's 1998 lists, and are 1997 winners of The Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Pioneer Award and the BMI and ASCAP Songwriters Awards .

The Miracles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14, 2012.
