Bob Shad ran several record labels between the late 50s and the mid-70s, Brent being the one he chose to issue the majority of his 60s soul output. He made good contacts around the USA while working for Mercury and used them when he launched his labels. The CD opens with a soul opus by Dave Crawford, who became a kingpin of the Miami soul sound in the 70s; ‘Millionaire’ featured on both decks of promo versions of the 45, but store copies with ‘Praying For The Rain To Come’ on the other side have never been seen, or heard until now. In 1967 Crawford worked with the Lovells whose ‘Here Come The Heartaches’ was an early Northern Soul scene hit. He also took Linda Lyndell to Stax after recording her on ‘Pretty Boy’ and ‘My Man, He’s A Loving Man’ for Brent, both previously unreleased. The Sunshine State was also the origin of the Moovers’ vocal group nuggets ‘I Love You, Baby’ and ‘One Little Dance’, as well as the haunting ‘I Need You, Baby’ by Lewis Clark.
