Motown founder Berry Gordy gave Claudette the official title of the “First Lady of Motown”, as stated in his autobiography, because, as a member of the Miracles, Motown’s first group and first recording act, she was the first female artist ever signed to a Motown-affiliated record label (Tamla).
Robinson and Claudette tied the knot on November 7, 1959.
The couple had two children, a son, Berry Robinson (born 1968), named after Motown’s first label founder Berry Gordy; and a daughter, Tamla Robinson (born 1971), named after the original “Tamla” label set up by Gordy that would eventually become Motown.
Robinson also had a son named Trey (born 1984) with another woman during his marriage to Claudette.
Smokey Robinson and Claudette divorced in 1986, after 27 years of marriage.
