The Miami Sound
Deep City: The Birth of the Miami Sound
The Miami sound was born out of a second layer beneath the sound of Motown in the 1960's. Each city across the United States had its own unique sound, and Miami’s early pioneers had lasting impressions on the music being made in Miami today. Many early soul music artists like Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, James Brown and Aretha Franklin and others made Miami a stop on their concert tours and changed the landscape of the downtown area in the process. But Miami had its own homegrown musicians like Betty Wright, Clarence Reid, Little Beaver, Willie Clark and Helene Smith (the First Lady of South Florida Soul) who laid the foundation of what would come later in Miami’s musical history.
It was not just Motown that influenced the Miami sound. It was musicians from the Caribbean, Africa and other populations that melded together in Miami. This laid the foundation for what would come later with the likes of Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, KC and the Sunshine Band and Uncle Luke. Funk, soul, disco, rock and electronic are all music genres that have all had a foothold in Miami and helped shape its unique sound.

"Hey There"
Artist - Sammy Davis Jr.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the Hampton House was one of Miami’s hotspots for black celebrities, politicians and great boxers (Muhammad Ali was a regular). The Hampton House Motel is historically significant because it was an elegant place where black entertainers could find a place of respite after working on Miami Beach, where they could not stay. Great jazz artists performed at the Hampton House, and people from all races and cultures enjoyed the best Miami had to offer in accommodations.
Therefore, the hotel became one of the hottest places to stay to listen to music entertainers such as Sam Cooke and Sammy Davis Jr. The Hampton House jazz lounge was one of the most happening spots in the area. Some of the well-known names who often frequented the motel included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Brown, Lena Horne and many more. Malcolm X became a guest at the 50-room motel; and even Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records, visited the Mediterranean-style outdoor pool with Muhammad Ali. After falling into disrepair and remaining that way for decades, the Historic Hampton House Community Trust, Inc. was eventually successful in its efforts to have the property renovated and restored to its previous luster.
