Hi We're The Miracles

Hi... We're the Miracles is the debut studio album by the American R&B group the Miracles. It was released in January 1961 on Motown's Tamla label. The album features several songs that played an important role in defining The Motown Sound and establishing songwriters Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy. The styles of the album tracks vary from the late doo-wop sound of "Who's Lovin' You" and " Depend on Me", to the upbeat R&B of "Way Over There". Though nearly all of the tracks are Miracles originals, also featured is a rendition of Motown's first hit single, Barrett Strong's "Money", the first of a vast number of covers of Motown songs by Motown artists. Smokey Robinson, the Miracles' lead singer, wrote or co-wrote all the remaining songs. The album's biggest hit was the bluesy "Shop Around", which was released as a single in 1960 and peaked at number 1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and number 2 on the pop singles chart. "Shop Around" was the first R&B number 1 single for both the Miracles and Motown label. It was also the label's first million-selling hit single and a 2006 Grammy Hall of Fame-inducted song. Hi...
