Описание:

As an original member of The Miracles, the first act to sign with Berry Gordys Tamla/Motown Records, Claudette Robinson was also the iconic labels very first female artist. In 1960, The Miracles Shop Around became Tamla/Motowns ﬁrst million-seller, prompting Mr. Gordy to bestow a special ofﬁcial title on Claudette: The First Lady of Motown.

Born Claudette Annette Rogers in New Orleans, Louisiana, she was bright and adventurous. At a very young age she embraced her grandmothers Christian values and service to her church when she sang in the choir.

Claudettes family relocated to Detroit, Michigan where she excelled academically with honors and graduated from Commerce High School at the young age of 15. At age 16, she attended Wayne State University through her sophomore year of college, before joining the United States Marine Corps Reserves, where she was a member of the Riﬂe Team with accomplished sharpshooter status.

Claudette always had a love for music, and in her free time, she sang with several female groups and performed in local talent shows in the Detroit area. While her brother Emerson Sonny Rogers was away serving in the Army, his Matadors groupmate was William Smokey Robinson. Claudette was a member of their sister group, the Matadorettes. As fate would have it, they met Motown founder Berry Gordy in 1957. A friendship and partnership was created that has thrived for more than 60 years.

Claudette and her groupmates William Smokey Robinson, Warren Pete Moore, Ronald Ronnie White, and Robert Bobby Rogers became The Miracles. Their ﬁrst Tamla single, Got A Job, was released on February 19, 1958.

During The Miracles six-decade career, the group has sold more than 60 million records to date. Four Miracles hits -- The Tracks of My Tears, Ooo Baby Baby, Shop Around, and Youve Really Got a Hold on Me-- have been selected by the National Recording Preservation Board for the United States Library of Congress National Recording Registry, which honors and preserves culturally, historically and aesthetically signiﬁcant American recordings. These same four Miracles songs have also been inducted into the GRAMMY(R) Hall of Fame, honoring recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance.

In 2019, commemorating Motowns 60th Anniversary celebration, Claudette will debut her first childrens book entitled: CLAUDETTES MIRACULOUS MOTOWN ADVENTURE. The story is a wonderful journey of her adventures as a little girl in the magical kingdom of Motown. Claudettes goal is to inspire and educate children of their music history of the past, so that it will be retained and passed on to future generations.

Claudette has enjoyed the wonders of motherhood as a mother of two, (Berry and Tamla), and grandmother of three, (Lyric, Thomas, and Alexis).
