January 12, 1959
Berry Gordy took a major step toward transforming American music on this day in 1959, when he launched Tamla Records. With Smokey Robinson and the Miracles signed as its first act, Tamla soon merged with Gordy's other label, Motown Records, to form one of the most influential music companies in American history.
