Hi... We're the Miracles is the first album by Motown's first group, The Miracles, released on Motown's Tamla subsidiary label in the summer of 1961.
It also has the distinction of being the first album ever released by the Motown Record Corporation The album features several songs that played an important role in defining The Motown Sound and establishing songwriters Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy.
The styles of the album tracks vary from the late doo-wop sound of "Who's Lovin' You" （later recorded by The Supremes, The Temptations,
The Jackson 5 as well as Terence Trent D'Arby and En Vogue） or "（You Can） Depend on Me", to the upbeat R&B of "Way Over There".
Also featured is a rendition of Motown's first hit single, Barrett Strong's "Money （That's What I Want）".
The album's biggest hit was the bluesy "Shop Around", which was released as a single in 1960 and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and #2 on the pop singles chart （#1 Pop, Cashbox）.
"Shop Around" was the first R&B #1 single for both the Miracles and Motown label.
It was also the label's first million-selling hit single and a 2006 Grammy Hall of Fame-inducted song.
Hi... We're the Miracles features the Miracles' classic original lineup: Smokey Robinson, Ronald White, Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, Marv Tarplin （mentioned on the back of the album, though not pictured on the front）,
