Miami Sound Machine returned to the studio in early 1987, and bassist Jorgé "George" Casas on bass, keyboardist Clay Ostwald, and guitarist John DeFaria joined the remaining members. With "Kiki" Garcia being the remaining core member, Gloria Estefan was given top billing and the band's name was changed to '''Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine''' to capitalize on the lead singer's mass appeal.

In late 1987, Miami Sound Machine released ''[[Let It Loose (album)|Let It Loose]]'',<ref name="tmdelay">{{cite web|title=Miami Sound Machine en Todomusica.org|url=https://www.todomusica.org/miami_sound_machine/}}<!-- auto-translated by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> and it went multi-platinum, with three million copies sold in the US alone. It featured the hits "[[Anything for You (Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine song)|Anything for You]]" reaching number 1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, "[[1-2-3 (Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine song)|1-2-3]]" making it to No. 3, "[[Betcha Say That]]" to number 36, "[[Rhythm Is Gonna Get You]]" to No. 5, and "[[Can't Stay Away from You]]" to No. 6. "Can't Stay Away from You", "Anything for You" and "1-2-3" were also top charting singles on the Adult Contemporary hits.

Another world tour began and the group traveled for the first time to Europe, South America. and an even more extensive tour in the United States, culminating with a sold-out concert in their hometown of [[Miami]], Florida, which was recorded and later sold on VHS. By 1988, founding member "Kiki" Garcia quit. With no other core members remaining other than Gloria herself, the "Miami Sound Machine" moniker was to be used from that point on for concerts and live performances only.

In 1988, after the worldwide chart success of single "[[Anything for You (Gloria Estefan song)|Anything for You]]", her ''Let it Loose'' album was repackaged overseas as ''Anything for You.'' It became the band's first UK number 1 album, selling over a million copies. It was the biggest selling album of the year in The Netherlands, staying at number 1 for 16 weeks. The album also took top honors in Australia and Canada, launching Gloria Estefan to superstar status.

By the end of 1988, none of the originating members Miami Sound Machine were performing with Estefan. A new rhythm section was put in place, and the horn section was expanded.

Although there have been changes in personnel, three members (Jorge Casas, Clay Ostwald and Teddy Mulet) have performed with Estefan since 1986. The current rhythm section has been in place since 1992 (with the subsequent addition of drummer Olbin Burgos and percussionist Edwin Bonilla). Seven members of the Miami Sound Machine lineage appeared in New York City's staging of the Broadway show ''[[On Your Feet!]]'': Jorge Casas, Clay Ostwald, Teddy Mulet, Olbin Burgos, Edwin Bonilla, Tom Timko and David Fernandez.
