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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiami 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the People - Cramp Your Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Helene Smith - You Got to Be a Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e George McCrae - I Get Lifted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e James Knight and the Butlers - Funky Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gwen McCrae - 90% of Me Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Beaver - Funkadelic Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e James Knight and the Butlers - Save Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joey Gilmore - Do It to Me One More Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Helene Smith - a Woman Will Do Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e James Knight and the Butlers - Fantasy World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Timmy Thomas - Funky Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The New Clarence Reid - Cadillac Annie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frank Williams ; the Rocketeers - the Spanish Flyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Della Humphrey - Don't Make the Good Girls Go Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frank Williams ; the Rocketeers - You Got to Be a Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joey Gilmore - Somebody Done Took My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Beaver - I Love the Way You Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"REDEYE MUSIC DISTRIBUTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44603112718557,"sku":"5026328105369","price":186.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/4248461-3075535.jpg?v=1727270609","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-miami-sound-rare-funk-soul-from-miami-florida-1967-74","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
