Leukemia Claims Miracles Founder
Ronnie White, a founder of the Motown singing group the Miracles and co-author with Smokey Robinson of “My Girl” and “My Guy,” has died at age 57 of leukemia.
White died Saturday at Henry Ford Hospital, said William Baran, a onetime Miracles spokesman.
Among the first groups producer Berry Gordy signed to his Motown record label, the Miracles also gave the company its first million-seller with the 1961 hit “Shop Around.”
Between 1960 and 1977, the Miracles racked up 29 top-40 songs including “Love Machine.”
