context: Title: Bad Girl (The Miracles song)
  Passage: "Bad Girl" is a 1959 doo-wop single by The Miracles.  Issued locally on the Motown Records label, it was licensed to and issued nationally by Chess Records because the fledgling Motown Record Corporation did not, at that time, have national distribution.  It was the first single released (and the only one released by this group) on the Motown label - all previous singles from the company (and all following ones from the group) were released on Motown's Tamla label.  Although The Miracles had charted regionally and on the R&B charts with several earlier songs, including "Got a Job", "I Cry", "I Need a Change", and "(You Can) Depend on Me", "Bad Girl" was their first "national" chart hit, reaching #93 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  Written by Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson and Motown Records' President and Founder Berry Gordy, "Bad Girl" is a sad, remorseful ballad about a young woman, whom Robinson, as the narrator, says "was so good at the start", but who later in the song "is breaking my heart".  It is in the popular doo-wop style, as several of The Miracles' songs were during the late 1950s.  The record's success, coupled with the distributor's failure to pay Gordy and The Miracles properly for its sales, prompted Robinson to urge Gordy to "go national" with it, meaning that Motown should do its own national distribution of its songs, and eliminate the middleman, to ensure that all money from sales of its records would go directly to the label.

Known as the Miracles' "forgotten album", few people, outside of Motown insiders, hard-core Miracles fans, and collectors, remember that it had even existed.  This album featured a combination of several new-for-1964 songs along with previously-issued material from the group's album from the year before, "The Miracles Doin' Mickey's Monkey".  New for 1964 songs included "I Like It Like That" (the Top 30 title song), the Bobby Rogers-led flip side "You're So Fine and Sweet,"(this is the "only" original Miracles studio album that has that song), "That's What Love Is Made Of" (another 1964 hit) that the group performed on the American International Pictures release, the T.A.M.I. Show that year, and "Would I Love You", a song that became a popular regional hit tune for the group in Pennsylvania and The Midwest.  The album also featured a Claudette Robinson-led cover version of the Orlons' #2 Pop smash, "The Wah Watusi".  (Claudette is also featured with the rest of the group on the album's cover), and the group's 1963 Top 40 Hit, "I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying".  Several of the group's other 1964 songs, including the chart hits "(You Can't Let the Boy Overpower) The Man in You", "Come On Do the Jerk", and its "B" side, "Baby Don't You Go", were not included.  The new 1964 recordings "I Like It Like That", "Would I love You" and "That's What Love Is Made Of" were included on the only US Miracles 1964 album release "Miracles Greatest Hits From The Beginning" which was the first double album released by Motown Records.
