I've been searching around for quite some time. After finding him and speaking with him at length, he admitted he's been waiting 20 years for people to discover him, and to get his recognition. Fellow Bass historian R-Fresh talked him into joining myspace as a way to network and meet fans.
As Rich says, "the sleeping giant has awoke."

Take note how often Amos is listed in the electro, proto-bass and 1st wave discography.
Henry Stone, and his pre-TK/TK records really is the start of everything regarding urban Miami music, but once it folded in 1981, it left such a void.
I'm learning that a major point of gathering all the talent after TK down there was during production of the b-movie (b for breakdance, of course) "Knights of the City" around 1983.
Amos produced a song by one of the breakdance crews for that film (FBI Crew). Later, one of the FBI guys became Nice & Wild, producing the freestyle landmark "Diamond Girls", while Amos produced Connie (Funky Little Beat).

He's obv building his profile as we spy on him as I didn't see any of that earlier. He did tell me something about doing a project for universal, but I didn't really probe.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Larry Dermer was one of his contemporaries, and he went on to score Disney films.
