Biography
Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Robinson started out singing in local groups. In the early 1950s, he formed the Matadors, which later became the world famous Miracles. A chance meeting with record producer Berry Gordy, Jr. led to a contract with Motown Records as well as an important working relationship. The Miracles scored their first big hit with ‘Shop Around’ (1960) and developed quite a following with their energetic R&B sound. The group has numerous hits, including ‘You Really Got a Hold on Me’ (1962) and ‘I Second That Emotion’ (1967). Robinson also worked behind the scenes, composing and producing for the Miracles and other Motown artists, such as Mary Wells and the Temptations. His work contributed to the success of Motown Records and helped advance the popularity of soul music.
