Northern Soul Of Miami / Various Northern Soul Of Miami / Various CD

2011 collection of upbeat rare Soul sides from the archive of Gold Coast maverick Henry Stone. Stone, a veteran of the music industry, pioneered the sound of Miami, "The Sound of Sunshine", in a career that spanned five decades and took him to the top of the charts and into bankruptcy. Stone started his recording and distribution business in Miami in 1954 and over the years launched many labels including Dade, Glades and Marlin as far back as the late fifties. But it was the 1970s that propelled him onto the world stage with the incorporation of TK and the development of Disco with his vice-president Steve Alaimo and their unique roster of artists including Willie "Little Beaver" Hale, Clarence Reid, Betty Wright, Latimore, Jimmy Bo Horne, Paulette Reeves and Lew Kirton.
