Smokey Robinson and The Miracles were heavily influenced by The Diablos, another doo-wop and early rock and roll vocal group of the Motor City. In fact, one of their early recordings was a cover of the first Diablos single "Adios, My Desert Love". The Diablos, mostly led by the powerful vocalist Nolan Strong, cut a handful of singles in the late fifties that would compile into their debut album Fortune of Hits in 1961 on the Fortune Records label.
Here is the discography surrounding Nolan Strong & The Diablos's debut album:
