Say the word "Miracles" and all kinds of images from the golden era of the Motown Record Corporation comes to mind. The Miracles were the first Motown group to break through bringing Berry Gordy's fledgling Detroit record company its first gold record for selling a million copies. The song was "Shop Around" and the year was 1960. Bobby Rogers, one of the cornerstones of Motown, has continued The Miracles legacy with members Dave Finley, Tee Turner and lead singer, Alphonse Franklin. The Miracles music including "Love Machine", "Tracks of My Tears", "Mickey's Monkey", "You Really Got A Hold On Me", to name a few, are loved throughout the world and with the positive energy of these four gentlemen, MIRACLES WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

Alphonse Franklin (2008-present) (*) Claudette Robinson retired from performing in 1964 to start a family. Although she does not appear in any official Miracles photographs, after this point, she continued to sing backup with the group on record for as long as her husband Smokey Robinson was a member.

His most recent exposure has been with Channel 9 (WGN) an morning show interview and performance with Micah Mattierre. He has also been invited to interview with radio stations such as 102.7 (V-103-FM) DJ Herb Kent and 88.5 (WHPK-FM) Brenda Phillips, just to name a few. Chicago theatres, Concert Halls, hotel parties and charity benefits have all captured moments of Alphonse singing Smokey Robinson on stage and were amazed! HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE #1 SMOKEY ROBINSON TRIBUTE ARTIST TO HIS FANS.
