Robinson was the founder and front man of the Motown vocal group
the Miracles, for which

origins as "the Five Chimes" until 1972, when he announced his retirement from
the group to focus on his role as Motown's vice president. However, Robinson
returned to the music industry as a solo artist the following year. After the
sale of Motown Records in 1988, Robinson left the company in 1990.
