Timeline

1942

Claudette Annette Rogers Robinson ( Rogers; born June 20, 1942) is an American singer, best known as a member of the vocal group The Miracles from 1957 to 1972.

1957

Her brother Emerson "Sonny" Rogers was a founding member of the group, which before 1957 was named "The Matadors".

Claudette replaced her brother in the group after he was drafted into the U.S. Army.

1959

Claudette Rogers and Smokey Robinson were married on November 7, 1959.

Smokey and Claudette had plans to raise a family, but the rough music touring life caused Claudette to have seven miscarriages.

Smokey Robinson co-wrote the number-one Motown single "My Girl" with Miracles member Ronald White in dedication to Claudette, a song performed most notably by The Temptations.

The song was originally intended to be recorded by The Miracles.

The Robinsons have two children, and both have Motown-referenced names: Berry William Borope Robinson was named after label chief Berry Gordy with his first middle name, "William", in honor of his father (William "Smokey" Robinson), and his second middle name in honor of fellow Miracles group mates Bobby (Rogers), Ronnie (White) and Pete (Moore), and Tamla Claudette Robinson was named after Motown's original record label, Tamla Records.

with her middle name "Claudette", after her mother.

1962

She can be seen on stage with The Miracles live at the Apollo Theatre in a rare 1962 film clip on the 2006 Motown/Universal DVD release, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles: The Definitive Performances.

Scheduled for a 2023 release and currently in post-production, it includes interviews with her former husband Smokey Robinson, their children, Berry and Tamla Robinson, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, Martha Reeves of Martha and the Vandellas, Kim Weston, Jayne Kennedy, and others, as well as archive footage of deceased Miracles: Ronnie White, Pete Moore, Marv Tarplin, and her cousin, Bobby Rogers.

1986

Smokey Robinson and Claudette were divorced in 1986, after 27 years of marriage.

Motown founder Berry Gordy gave Claudette the official title of the "First Lady of Motown", as noted in his autobiography, because, as a member of The Miracles, Motown's first group and first recording act, she was the first female artist ever signed to a Motown-affiliated record label (Tamla).
