Robinson founded The Miracles while still in high school; their single of Robinson’s “Shop Around” became Motown’s first #1 platinum hit on the R&B singles chart. In the years following, Robinson continued to pen hits for the group including “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” “The Tracks of My Tears,” “Tears of a Clown” and “I Second That Emotion.” He later turned to a solo career and continued his tradition of hitmaking with “Just to See Her,” “Quiet Storm,” “Cruisin’” and “Being with You,” among others.
