Great week in Miami music history seen here with classic show announcements for Roy Hamilton at The Hampton House, Sam&Dave at the King O’ Hearts, and The Original Drifters at the Mary Elizabeth Hotel. This all appears in a February 1963 edition of The Miami Times, one of the longest continually published African-American newspapers in the country. As you can see, the Magic City has always been full of entertainment activity.
From 1946 to 2014, Henry Stone ruled the Florida music industry with an iron fist, a brick of cash, and a warehouse full of vinyl. HSM is the last of over one hundred record labels he personally founded. The HSM record label includes works from every decade in his sixty-five year career right up until today. Licensing available for film, samples, advertising, movies, video games, and more. Family owned and operated.
