Deep City - The Birth of The Miami Sound
Featuring:Clarence Reid:Helene Smith;Betty Wright;Willie 'Little Beaver' Hale a.o.
'Deep City' is an inspirational story that explores the early days of soul music in South Florida, the pioneers of that era and their lasting contributions to the broader American musical landscape. During mid-1960s Miami, producers Willie Clarke and Johnny Pearsall masterminded Deep City Records. Both from the mean streets of Miami, this duo honed the business and musical skills learned in college and went on to change the face of soul music in Miami, and eventually the country by creating the first black-owned record label in Florida. Deep City is a documentary that delves into the life and times of these groundbreaking producers, their label, the unique artists they spawned and the remarkable era in which they accomplished it.

Yes it's a brilliant piece of work. It's a pity Betty Wright declined to be interviewed. [thumbsdown] Great to hear and see Helene Smith.

Dangit - apparently I waited too long and I can no longer watch it online. My local PBS station doesn't list it, either.

I watched this last night. Thanks again for letting us know about it. It was great. I've never heard of anyone from this era/area before, but now I have.
