RIP Steve Alaimo

MIAMI — Songwriter, singer and music producer Steve Alaimo, who participated in the creation of “the Sunshine Sound,” died here November 30.

Working in the ‘60s and ‘70s with artists including Sam & Dave, KC & the Sunshine Band, Betty Wright, George McRae, Timmy Thomas and Clarence Reid, he was a prime architect of their sound, who helped bring the likes of Sam & Dave and Harry Wayne Casey to the world’s attention.

MSTies know him for his role as Rod Tillman in the movie in episode 207- WILD REBELS. He was also mentioned in a host segment in episode episode 521- SANTA CLAUS.

Thanks to commenter “dj_timmy_b” for the heads up.

The Miami Herald has the story.
