Early Recording Industry
The Miami recording industry began in the 1970s with Criteria Studios, which produced such noteworthy recordings as Rumours by Fleetwood Mac and Hotel California by The Eagles. Long-time local music entrepreneur Henry Stone and his label TK Records created the local indie scene in the 1970s. Also winter albums by Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, and Grand Funk Railroad, who were all Michigan bands down for the winters. T. K. Records produced the R&B group KC and the Sunshine Band along with soul singers Betty Wright, George McCrae and Jimmy "Bo" Horne as well as a number of minor soul and disco hits, many influenced by Caribbean music. In the 1970s and early 1980s Jacksonville saw a very active music recording scene with Southern rock bands such as Molly Hatchet, The Allman Brothers Band, 38 Special, The Outlaws, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The Bellamy Brothers also recorded their style of country music in the mid to late 1970s. They originated from Darby, Florida, just north of Tampa in Pasco County.

Famous quotes containing the words early, recording and/or industry:
“Some would find fault with the morning red, if they ever got up early enough.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
“You must, to get through life well, practice industry with economy, never create a debt for anything that is not absolutely necessary, and if you make a promise to pay money at a day certain, be sure to comply with it. If you do not, you lay yourself liable to have your feelings injured and your reputation destroyed with the just imputation of violating your word.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
