This singer and producer helped make the Miami sound - and was a force behind big hits
Briefly

Steve Alaimo was a prime architect of Miami's music scene in the 60s and 70s, playing a significant role in shaping the careers of many artists.
He was involved in so many people's careers he never got credit for. He was definitely a giving soul to anyone who needed it, said Casey.
Alaimo discovered Sam and Dave in 1961 at the King of Hearts, showcasing his influential role in their rise with hits like "Soul Man".
North Miami's Criteria Studios became the Southern hub for Atlantic Records, where many Miami artists recorded their enduring hits, thanks in part to Alaimo's efforts.
