Miami Sound Machine - Dr. Beat - 15-10-1984 • TopPop

Miami Sound Machine was an American band of Latin-influenced music that had featured the vocals of Cuban-born recording artist Gloria Estefan (née Fajardo). Established in 1975 by Emilio Estefan Jr., the band was originally known as the Miami Latin Boys before becoming the Miami Sound Machine in 1977. The band had a number of albums and a string of hit singles until 1989. The band’s 1985 album Primitive Love credited the band whereas their follow-up album Let It Loose in 1987 placed Gloria Estefan at the forefront. From 1988-1989, the latter album was also repackaged as Anything For You with new cover art with the international release in Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In 1989, the group’s name ceased being included on the CD or album products—as Estefan continued as a solo artist. This is their first hit worldwide and their first chart entry in the Netherlands in October 1984. This long lost Toppop performance, of which only this short versionof just over one minute has survived, was first broadcast on October 15, 1984. The quality is not what you might expect from us, but this is the best we could do! Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
