Synopsis
Berry Gordy meets teenage Smokey Robinson, who was a member of the Matadors in 1957. He was impressed by his vocals and ambitious songwriting, this led him to record "Got a Job" as a member of The Miracles. Smokey actually met his friend Bobby Rogers (Pete Moore, Ronnie White, Clarence Dawson and James Grice) at 15, when the Matadors were originally called Five Chimes. Eventually, Bobby and his cousin "Sonny" replaced Dawson and Claduette (Sonny Roger's younger sister) joined the group soon after her brother left to join the United Army.

Lastly, Smokey gets married to Claudette in the late 1960s and the touring from time-to-time caused her to have seven miscarriages.
