“At first the members of the Miracles—who were each paid five dollars per week by their agent, Berry Gordy—found the music business difficult. ‘For a while,’ Claudette Robinson related in Essence, ‘we lived basically in one bedroom. But we didn't stay in that house very long. Fortunately, the music started to happen’” (Contemporary Black Biography, 2005).
