Helene Smith has been dubbed 'The First Lady of Miami Soul' and was married to Johnny Pearsall who co-owned two of the labels she recorded on, Lloyd and Deep City, with Willie Clarke. 45Cat lists fifteen singles for her starting in 1963 through to 1972. Her recordings were predominantly on Miami labels (Blue Star, Dade, Reid, Lloyd and Deep City) apart from an excursion of a few singles on Phil L.A. of Soul (45Cat lists 2 but Discogs lists 4) between 1967-69 finishing with a pair on Miami's Dash in the early 70s.

A compilation of twelve of her 60s recordings has been released by Numero Group titled "I Am Controlled By Your Love" which contains three tracks released in Jun '22 by Hit And Run on 45 "I Am Controlled By Your Love" / "You Got To Do Your Share" / "True Love Don’t Grow On Trees".
