Shop Around - label history of the two 1960 recordings
The label explicitly distinguishes the initial Detroit release in September 1960 from the faster national performance released in October 1960. Whos Lovin You was the flip side. Chart success in 1961 does not replace the original 1960 release year. | Reviewed 2026-10-18

About The Miracles
The Miracles were among the earliest vocal groups associated with Berry Gordy's recording enterprise. Their original lineup included Smokey Robinson, Claudette Robinson, Pete Moore, Bobby Rogers and Ronnie White, with guitarist Marv Tarplin closely involved in their sound. Songs such as Shop Around, The Tracks of My Tears and Ooo Baby Baby joined group singing with carefully crafted songwriting. Members also wrote for other Motown performers. After Smokey Robinson began a solo career, Billy Griffin led recordings including Do It Baby and Love Machine.
