New 20th anniversary edition of Soul Jazz Records' long out-of-print 
Miami Sound: Rare Funk and Soul from Miami, Florida, 1967-74. This album had been unavailable for more than 15 years and is newly remastered.

Soul Jazz Records Miami Sound features rare and classic Funk and Deep
 Soul from Miami, Florida between 1968 and 1974. The album brings 
together million-selling artists such as Gwen McRae, George McRae and 
Timmy Thomas alongside artists little known outside of the sunshine 
state such as James Knight and The Butlers, Frank Williams and The 
Rocketeers and All the People. 

Miami Funk, Soul and Disco was dominated by TK Records, founded by 
Henry Stone in the early 1970s. Through a myriad of associated record 
labels such as Alston, Blue Candle, Dash, Glades, Cat and more, TK 
Records made international artists out of Gwen McRae and her brother 
George McRae, Betty Wright and KC and The Sunshine Band, all in the 
mid-70s crossover period between Soul and Disco.

The music on this compilation shows the roots of this Miami Sound. 
All the artists and musicians on this album work together throughout the
 heyday of TK Records when it produced hit after hit on an almost daily 
basis. The house band (the equivalent to Motown's Funk Brothers) 
included songwriters such as Clarence Reid (AKA Blowfly, the adult 
comedian!), Casey Finch (KC from KC and The Sunshine Band) along with 
musicians Little Beaver, Frank Williams and Robert Moore. As well as 
being the in-house band, most of these artists also ran successful solo 
careers, making Miami one of the most musically creative hot spots in 
the USA. 

The artists on this compilation include Helene Smith, Miami’s first 
lady of Soul, Frank Williams and The Rocketeers (featuring a very young 
Little Beaver on vocals), George McRae’s rare-groove classic "I Get 
Lifted" (written by Casey Finch), Timmy Thomas’ truly experimental track
 "Funky Me", Gwen McRae’s classic "90% of Me" as well as a host of 
practically unknown Miami artists who never managed to make it outside 
the city borders!
