Miami Sound Machine was now a large ensemble. Despite an eclectic lineup, Miami Sound Machine was focused primarily on the founding members:

* Gloria and Emilio Estefan
* Enrique "Kiki" Garcia
* Juan Marcos Avila
* Wesley B. Wright

By the early 1980s, Miami Sound Machine had established themselves as major musical artists in Latin America with a strong presence in both the media and on the radio. The next major hurdle was conquered in early 1984 when a Dutch DJ began playing "[[Dr. Beat]]" in Amsterdam.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/geeyesofinnocence/drbeat.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027141544/http://www.geocities.com/geeyesofinnocence/drbeat.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-10-27|title=Dr. Beat (Single – 1984)|date=October 27, 2009|access-date=2018-10-10}}</ref> Garcia's catchy lyrics, Gloria's sassy vocals, Wright's funky guitar, and Emilio's infectious conga drums took Europe by storm with the tune eventually reaching the top 10 in the UK and most of Continental Europe, finally causing record labels in the US Market to take notice of the group's strong musical prowess.

In late 1984, the group released their first Epic/Columbia album, ''[[Eyes of Innocence (Miami Sound Machine album)|Eyes of Innocence]]'', which contained the Garcia-penned classic, previously released, single and dance hit "[[Dr. Beat]]" as well as the ballad "[[I Need Your Love (Miami Sound Machine song)|I Need Your Love]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/geeyesofinnocence/eyesofinnocence.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027141538/http://www.geocities.com/geeyesofinnocence/eyesofinnocence.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-10-27|title=Eyes Of Innocence (1984)|date=October 27, 2009|access-date=2018-10-10}}</ref>
