Description

Miami Sound 2 is a superlative collection of 1970s soul, funk, disco, and boogie featuring tracks from legendary artists such as Betty Wright, Timmy Thomas, Gwen McRae, Milton Wright, T-Connection, and more, all from the iconic TK Records, based in Miami, Florida.

Throughout the 1970s, TK Records, founded by Henry Stone, became one of the most important forces in black music, successfully pioneering the evolution from gritty funk and soul to the rise of disco in the mid-'70s.

This album is a thrilling journey through soul, funk, disco, and boogie, packed with million-selling hits like Betty Wright's Clean Up Woman, Timmy Thomas's Why Can't We Live Together, and T-Connection’s Do What You Wanna Do. It also features rare groove club anthems like Gwen McRae's All This Love I'm Giving and Milton Wright's Keep It Up, alongside hard-to-find gems from Raw Soul Express, Chocolate Clay, Beginning of the End, and more.

Miami Sound 2 includes extensive sleevenotes and an exclusive interview with Steve Alaimo, co-founder of TK Records. The album also features photography by in-house TK photographer Larry Warmoth, showcasing rare and striking images of Gwen McRae, Betty Wright, Clarence Reid, and others, offering a unique glimpse into this pioneering record company.
