Born in Charleston, TN in 1939, Benny Latimore was influenced by country music, his Baptist church choir, and the Blues. WLAC, via the strong evening signal from Nashville, was a favorite in Latimore’s youth.
Benny Latimore, who was produced by Steve Alaimo, describes "The Miami Sound" as a kind of combination of R&B and Jazz.
In a career spanning over 35 years and beginning with recordings in the1960s for Miami music legend Henry Stone, the gems on this CD were cut on the Dade label long before Benny’s success on the Glades/T.K. label. These early recordings for Dade are solid deep soul, graced by Latimore’s deep, sultry voice.
Included on this disc are the much sought after 1965 hits, "I Can’t Go On Anymore" and "Rain From the Sky", originally recorded on Stone’s Blade label. These are treasures that until now only a few collectors were lucky enough to have. Today we bring them to you for the world to hear.
"Sensational" really is the best word to describe Latimore. He proved to be extremely adept as both a superlative vocalist and keyboard player par excellence. Benny Latimore is Florida’s master soul stylist.

All About the Rythm and the Blues
author: Mary Marks
When Latimore recorded Back 'Atcha he only scratched the surface of his hidden talents. This time with his new album he decided to dig a little deeper. To all of Latimore fans you will enjoy the music from beginning to end. I love to dance I especially like Singing and playing the Blues . Everyday I have the Blues beautifully executed. My ears are burning I can't get enough. There is one thing for sure Latimore sings and plays from within. As a fan of Latimore even I am surprised. GREAT!

The Early Years
author: Mary
I have always liked the Latimore sound. Even though it's the Early Years I am digging it. I must say the Mature Latimore is off the hook.The Early Years sound is easy to listen to. In other words I like it.
I have always liked the Latimore sound. I sampled the songs on the Early Years Album. I found that most of the songs were easy to listen to.But the Mature Latimore is off the hook.
