Timeline

1939

Ronald Anthony White (April 5, 1939 – August 26, 1995) was an American baritone singer, best known as the co-founder of the Miracles and its only consistent original member.

White was also known for bringing Stevie Wonder to the attention of Motown Records, and writing several hit singles for the Miracles as well as other artists including the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Mary Wells.

1955

They were soon joined by a third boy, Pete Moore, and in 1955, the trio formed a quintet called The Matadors, with Bobby Rogers and his cousin Emerson "Sonny" Rogers.

The group changed its name to The Miracles after Sonny was replaced by his sister Claudette Rogers, of the related group the Matadorettes.

The quintet began working with Berry Gordy following a failed audition with Brunswick Records and soon found fame after signing with Gordy's Motown label under the Tamla subsidiary.

During the group's early years, White and Robinson performed several songs as the duo Ron & Bill.

White helped Robinson compose several hit singles including The Miracles' "My Girl Has Gone", "A Fork in the Road" and also co-wrote the same group's "Don't Look Back".

1966

In 1966, The Miracles briefly retired from the road to work as staff songwriters and executives for the label, but returned to perform on the road the following year, in 1967.

1972

After Smokey and Claudette Robinson and long-time guitarist Marv Tarplin left the group in 1972, the group carried on with Billy Griffin as their new lead singer, scoring two more hits with Motown including the number-one smash, "Love Machine", before leaving Motown in 1977 for Columbia Records.

1978

The group disbanded in 1978 after Pete Moore opted for retirement and Billy Griffin returned to his solo career.

1980

White and Bobby Rogers revived the Miracles in 1980 with Dave Finley and Carl Cotton, calling themselves "The New Miracles".

1983

This lasted until 1983, when White faced personal struggles following the death of his first wife, Earlyn Stephenson, who died from breast cancer that year.

White announced a retirement shortly afterwards and the Miracles again disbanded.

1987

In 1987, Smokey Robinson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist.

Controversially, Ronnie White and the other original members of The Miracles, Bobby Rogers, Marv Tarplin, Pete Moore and Claudette Robinson, were not.

1993

White and Rogers revived the Miracles again in 1993.

From his marriage to Earlyn, he fathered two children, daughters Michelle Lynn and Pamela Claudette.

He later fathered a son, Ronald Anthony, II.

His only granddaughter, Maya Naomi, was born to Pamela after his death.

White's first born daughter, Michelle, succumbed to leukemia at the age of 9.

1995

White died of leukemia in 1995, at 56 years old.

White would eventually fight his own battle with leukemia and died on August 26, 1995, at the age of 56.

1998

In addition, he co-wrote Mary Wells' "You Beat Me to the Punch", Marvin Gaye's "One More Heartache" and The Temptations classic, "My Girl", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.

White would later win awards as a songwriter from the BMI.

He also brought then unknown Stevie Wonder to Motown after overhearing him playing with White's cousin; Wonder was signed immediately afterwards.
