Gordy Records

Gordy Records was Motown's primary subsidiary for mainstream R&B/soul music. Originally known as Miracle Records (slogan: "If It's a Hit, It's a Miracle"), the name was changed in 1962 to avoid confusion with the Miracles singing group. The label's numbering system was combined with those of Motown and Tamla in 1982, and the label was merged with Motown in 1988. Notable Gordy artists included The Temptations, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, The Contours, Edwin Starr , Rick James, and DeBarge. Gordy Records slogan: "It's What's in the Grooves that Counts"
