In Indianapolis,  that man was Herb Miller, and his business was  soul and funk. He came to prominence long after  Indy’s allure as a jazz destination waned. He  founded LAMP Records in the late 1960s to  wake Naptown from its musical slumber.  Miller served a critical role in city’s burgeoning  soul and funk scene, providing not only financial  backing, but acting as a one-stop, record-making  shop for artists that had, to that point, been doing  it all themselves. He’s the Berry Gordy you’ve  never heard of. His roster – national acts like the  Vanguards and Ebony Rhythm Band alongside  talented, regional acts such as the Moonlighters,  Montiques, Pearls and the Words of Wisdom  Truth Revue – rivaled that of any American  independent and paved the way for the  ascension of 80s and 90s hitmakers  Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Antonio  “L.A.” Reid, both of whom cut their teeth  with LAMP alumnus.
